On the Day of Archives, a significant event was held to showcase historical manuscripts from the former Altomünster Monastery, which were recently uncovered by the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. One highlight was a 1486 illuminated manuscript, which had been respectfully handled by Roland Götz, the deputy director of the Archives and Library of the Archdiocese. This Antiphonary and Gradual are remnants of the monastery's rich liturgical traditions and provide a glimpse into the religious practices of the time, particularly before the arrival of the Brigittine order in 1497.

The meticulous care taken by Götz and his team reflects the importance of preserving these historical artifacts after the dissolution of the monastery about a decade ago. As the monastery was closed, Götz became responsible for the vast collection of books and documents that required extensive organization and preservation efforts. This process was lengthy and arduous, emphasizing the value these manuscripts hold not just for the Church but also for the cultural heritage of the region.

Now, as these treasures are presented to the public for the first time, they offer valuable insight into the history of religious life in Altomünster. The event symbolizes not only a revival of interest in this historical collection but also highlights the importance of maintaining and sharing cultural heritage for future generations. The excitement surrounding the display of these artifacts may rekindle local and academic interest in the region's monastic past.
