Spiritual Center and Community Kloster Reute is an important spiritual center for the Franziskanerinnen von Reute, located in the Reute district of the city of Bad Waldsee in the Ravensburg district. This community of women draws its strength from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the life example of Francis of Assisi, and the lived community. They operate a comprehensive program of spiritual offerings, tours, and courses focused on reflection and encounter[1][2].
The Franziskanerinnen von Reute live according to "serving God in suffering humanity". This is reflected in their dedicated work in areas such as care, education and pastoral care[4]. The mission of the founders is realized through a close connection with Franciscan spirituality and concern for others[1][4].
Although explicit sustainability goals are not mentioned, the Franziskanerinnen von Reute live according to a principle that is based on the appreciation of creation and the lived community. The focus on regional cuisine and the use of self-made products in the monastery contribute to the local economy and environmental protection[3].
Visitors are warmly invited to participate in the life and work of the sisters. The monastery is a special place for spiritual renewal and offers space for reflection and encounter[1][2].
