Bad Reichenhall - St. Zeno
A legend tells, that Charlemagne personally founded a first monastery here, but there are so many places, who claim that...
A small monastery existed here within the 9th century. As it was built close to the river Saalach, it was dedicated Saint Zeno, an early Christian Bishop of Verona and a patron saint against floods.
In 1136 Konrad I von Abensberg, Archbishop of Salzburg, established Augustinian Canons here, well equipped with income from the salt (= hall) that was produced here.
The construction of the three-nave-basilica took 80 years, it got consecrated in 1228. With a length of 80 meters, this was a huge structure. The church burnt down in 1512. When it got rebuilt, many Gothic elements were added (vaulting). Ano
ther fire destroyed great part in 1789, just before the monastery got secularized in 1803. Since then this is a parish church.
There is an important cloister here, that even has a carving depicting Frederick I (Barbarossa). If you plan to visit Bad Reichenhall, inquire at the Tourist Office about it the opening hours. As the cloister now is part of a school, it is open for tourists only once or twice a week for an hour or two. I could not wait that long..

The western portal from 1228 fortunately survived all fires and modernisations. Protected by a narthex, it is still on place and only little damaged.
The left side of the lintel and the corbel below, carved in a masterly style.
On the corbel are two birds facing each other over a fruit bearing shrub. The small knot on the right is a design, that reminds on earlier styles.
On the lintel a vine grows out of the head of a beast. The beast may be an aspis (Weber). The fruits of this vine are very small (like hops). Just over the upper jaw of the beast sits a sparrow-like bird. The humanoid figure to the right is better visible on the next upload.
