Benediktinerkloster Hasungen, Zierenberg
Monastery in Zierenberg, Germany, dating from 1001
Hasungen Abbey (German: Kloster Hasungen) was a monastery of the Benedictine Order located at Burghasungen, now a part of Zierenberg in Hesse in Germany. The site is at the top of a 480-metre-high (1,570 ft) basalt mountain, the Hasunger Berg. In 1074 a monastery was built, on the authority of Siegfried I, Archbishop of Mainz, over the grave of the hermit Heimerad (d. 1019), who had a little chapel and hermitage here. The historian Lambert of Hersfeld (d. circa 1088) was possibly abbot of Hasungen towards the end of his life. The monastery existed until the Reformation, introduced in Hesse in
