kloster eberbach

            Stiftung Kloster Eberbach, 1145-1186
Eltville, Germany                              

This view is nothing like what it would have been like back when it was originally in use by the monks.  The nave was separated about a 1/3rd of the way down by a 'lettner' (I'm not sure what the english term is), dividing the church into two parts--one part for the monks and one part for the laymen who worked for the monks.  The latter could only hear what was going on in front.  The two groups were otherwise also completely separated on the grounds of the monastary. 
The seating for the monks did not face the apse but ran parallel to the nave, meaning the monks faced each other.
There is a stairway leading directly from the church to the dormitory, as the monks would only sleep for short periods between either working or singing.
One of the beauties of this place is that it really is rather isolated and as such, one can really enjoy the solitude which these spaces offer in peace.

Please, no icons or badges or the like.
