Zisterzienserabtei Tennenbach

Monastery in Germany, dating from 1158

Tennenbach Abbey (German: Kloster Tennenbach) was a Cistercian abbey in what is now the district of Freiamt in the town of Emmendingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was originally named Porta Coeli (Latin: 'Heaven's Gate'). It was founded around 1158 by monks from Frienisberg Abbey, a daughter house of Lucelle Abbey. Tennenbach later became a daughter house of Morimond Abbey and from 1182 of Salem Abbey. The abbot of Tennenbach was also supervisory abbot of Günterstal Abbey, a nearby nunnery, from shortly after its foundation in 1224 until around 1380. It was dissolved in 1806 and demolished
