The elected monk has already accepted the election: "For me, this day brought a great surprise that moves me deeply."
The religious community of St. Peter's Abbey, which has been a place of prayer for 1300 years and is considered the oldest monastery in the German-speaking world, would like to thank the previous archabbot for his service. "It was a great pleasure and honor," says Korbinian Birnbacher.
The inauguration of Father Jakob Auer will be celebrated on April 12, 2025.
