点评:This abbey became a UNESCO World Heritage Site quite early, in 1991, which in itself speaks of its importance for European culture. It is one of the few surviving Carolingian monuments in Europe. The abbey once had one of the richest libraries in the empire of Charlemagne (part of it later moved to the Palatine Library in Heidelberg). The symbol of the recognition of the Lorsch Cluster was the immunity granted by Charlemagne, i.e. the right to choose the abbot independently of the powerful bishops of Mainz and Würzburg. In the following centuries, the monastery lost its independence, and after the Reformation, it was closed altogether in 1564. Little remains of the complex: the Royal Hall, a fragment of the basilica and parts of the monastery wall. A pleasant surprise was the free entrance and a nice souvenir shop with a very friendly owner.
翻译:这座修道院很早就于 1991 年成为联合国教科文组织世界遗产,这本身就说明了它对欧洲文化的重要性。它是欧洲少数幸存的加洛林时期纪念碑之一。该修道院曾经拥有查理曼帝国最丰富的图书馆之一(其中一部分后来搬到了海德堡的帕拉丁图书馆)。洛尔施集群得到承认的标志是查理曼授予的豁免权,即独立于强大的美因茨和维尔茨堡主教选择院长的权利。在接下来的几个世纪里,修道院失去了独立性,宗教改革之后,它于 1564 年完全关闭。建筑群只剩下很少的遗迹:皇家大厅、大教堂的碎片和修道院墙的一部分。令人惊喜的是免费入场和一家不错的纪念品商店,店主非常友好。
