Klosterverlag Maria Laach looks back on a tradition of almost 100 years of existence. This is based on the old handicraft work of the artist brothers of the Benedictine Abbey of Maria Laach.
Today, in addition to the Laach artist brothers, we also work with renowned artists
artists from Germany and the surrounding European countries, some of whom work exclusively for us.
In our online store for resellers you receive special discounts as an organization, reseller or parish.
Maria Laach was the cradle of the new liturgical movement under Abbot Ildefons Herwegen at the beginning of the 20th century. To this day, Abbot Ildefons’ initiative continues to have an impact in various publications. For example in the Te Deum series.
In our program you will find sacred-inspired art.
From small to large. From hand flatterers for your pocket to stands and figures to large sculptures.
In addition to standard bronze in various finishes, ceramic, silver bronze, wood, basalt stone and other materials are also used.

The day in the monastery begins and ends with prayer. The first words of the day are the opening of the morning prayer: Lord, open my lips. The main part of the Liturgy of the Hours is the Psalms. The first psalm to be prayed every day is Psalm 95, which is particularly close to Benedict’s heart, which is why he quotes it specifically in the preface to his Rule: “Today, when you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” (RB Prologue 10, cf. Ps 95, 7f.) This shows what should happen in prayer: hearing the word of God, receiving it with the whole heart and responding to it with the whole person.
We see our life in this spiritual place as an indication that God lives among us. We make the concerns and worries of the church and the world our own and bring them before God in prayer. We want to be open to the people who come to us, regardless of our monastic way of life.
Gegründet 1093, ist die Benediktinerabtei Maria Laach ein herausragendes Beispiel romanischer Baukunst und bis heute ein lebendiges Zentrum klösterlichen Lebens. Am Ufer des Laacher Sees gelegen, verbindet sie geistliche Tradition mit kulturellem Engagement.
