The congregation had been formally sanctioned by  Innocent IV twenty years before the founder's death.  Except for a few houses in Portugal and Brazil and a foundation in Ceylon [Sri Lanka], the...

  WELCOME! TEGERNSEE ABBEY Tegernsee (Tegrinseo) is a celebrated Benedictine abbey of Bavaria that was of much importance for the civilisation of the early Middle Ages. It was situated on the state road to the Tyrol by Lake Tegern in a south-southeasterly direction from Munich. According to the latest Germanistic researches the word Tegern signified in Old High German "large", consequently the name meant "large lake".  It was not the Agilolfinger family, as is erroneously supposed, but Counts Adalbert and Otkar (Ottokar) of Warngau and Tegernsee who founded in 746 (not 719) a Benedictine abbey on lake Tegern near the little Church of Our Saviour that was already in existence; this abbey was consecrated and occupied in 754. Counts Adalbert and Otkar belonged to the family of the Huosi, one of the five old ruling families who had come into the country with the Bavarians. The story of the colonising of the monastery with monks by Saint Othmar of Saint Gall is legenda...
