Andechs Monastery's Butcher`s Shop

Below the Sacred Mountain lies a small but indispensible cog in the great wheel of activity that is part of  Andechs Monastery's broad organization.


Operating Hours: Fridays only from 8 a.m. - 11 a.m.
The monastery meatshop was erected at its present location in the early 1970's following the destruction of  its predecessor, a small wurst processing kitchen, in a fire.

Today, some 25 articles are produced for use in the Monastery itself, the Bräustüberl, the Klostergasthof as well as for resale in the food store of the Benedikter family in Erling.

The philosophy behind the monastery meat market project which is also its guarantee for success is quite simple: maintain flavor, color and consistency, the most important characteristics demanded by meat-loving consumers of sausage and other meat products.

In order to fulfil these demands, effort is made to reduce residual nitrites used in curing to a minimal level, in order to avoid deviation from flavor that is product-typical while retaining characteristic color and consistency within the consumption life of the product. The resiliancy or bite of sausage or processed meats is but one example of this aspect of quality.
Visitors are able to enjoy the famous Weisswurst, Regensburger, Wiener and Debreziner sausages, Leberkäse (processed meat loaf containing neither liver nor cheese its name notwithstanding), smoked liverwurst and many other delicacies. All may be had at fair prices with solid value for the money. You can find the Monastery butcher`s shop on the back of the building.
