You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Wien Freyung Schottenstift.jpg|thumb|upright=1.35|((lang|de|italic=no|Schottenstift)) monastery in Vienna]]
The '''((lang|de|italic=no|Schottenstift))''' (((lang-en|Scottish Abbey))), formally called '''((lang|de|italic=no|Benediktinerabtei unserer Lieben Frau zu den Schotten))''' (((lang-en|Benedictine Abbey of Our Dear Lady of the Scots))), is a [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] [[monastery]] founded in [[Vienna]] in 1155 when [[Henry II, Duke of Austria|Henry II of Austria]] brought Irish monks to Vienna. The monks did not come directly from [[Ireland]], but came instead from [[Scots Monastery, Regensburg|Scots Monastery]] in [[Regensburg]], [[Germany]]. Since 1625, the abbey has been a member of the [[Austrian Congregation]], now within the [[Benedictine Confederation]].

== History ==
[[File:Jasomirgott (2).JPG|thumb|upright|Monument of [[Henry II, Duke of Austria|Henry II of Austria]], called ''Jasomirgott'']]
In the early Middle Ages, Irish monks were actively involved in [[Hiberno-Scottish mission|missionary work]]. Ireland was known in Latin as "[[Scotia Major]]";<ref>((cite book|title=British consciousness and identity : the making of Britain, 1533-1707|year=1998|publisher=Cambridge University Press|location=Cambridge|isbn=0-521-43383-5|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GcS0O5GastIC&pg=PA165|editor1-first=Brendan|editor1-last=Bradshaw|editor2-first=Peter|editor2-last=Roberts|pages=165–166))</ref> therefore, in German, Irish monks were called "''Schotten''" (Scots) or "''Iroschotten''". The monasteries that they founded were called "''Schottenklöster''". In the foundation documents of the Schottenstift, Henry II specified that it was to be occupied exclusively by these "Iroschotten" ("Solos elegimus Scottos").

Henry II was elevated from the rank of Margrave (''Markgraf'') to that of Duke (''Herzog'') in 1156. He moved his residence from [[Klosterneuburg]] to [[Vienna]] and required a monastery for his new city. In the Middle Ages, monasteries were not only places for prayer, but also and above all, repositories of knowledge. The foundation of a monastery gave the ruler support for his administration (for example, schools to educate competent scribes). It also provided a library, a hospice and old age home, architects, educated men, and priests to conduct services in the new ducal city. The "''Schotten''" would also be involved with the [[University of Vienna]], which was founded in 1365.

Henry granted the new monastery extensive [[Privilege (canon law)|privilege]]s. Construction of the first monastery started in 1160, and the structure was consecrated in 1200. The monastery was outside the city walls of Vienna. The monks also built a hospice for pilgrims and crusaders, who often passed through Vienna on their way to Jerusalem.

The first church was a three-aisled, Romanesque, pillar church with a single apse. Henry II was buried there upon his death in 1177.

A fire in the year 1276 destroyed the cloister, along with many other buildings in Vienna.

In 1418, Duke [[Albert II of Germany|Albert V]] seized the cloister during the [[Melker Reform]], an attempt to revive the original ideals of Benedictine monasticism, and settled a community of [[Order of Saint Benedict|Benedictines]] in their place. These new residents, however, continued to be known as the "''Schotten''".

In the middle of the 15th century, the monastery was distinguished through the literary activities of its schoolmaster, [[Wolfgang Schmeltzl]], and his successor, [[Johannes Rasch]].

[[File:Schottenkloster 1672 Vischer.jpg|thumb|left|Schottenstift copper engraving, 1672]]
The collapse of the tower, struck by a lightning bolt in 1638, was seized as an opportunity to completely rebuild the church, a project undertaken by the architects Andrea d'Allio the Younger and Silvestro Carlone. The church was somewhat shortened, and the tower no longer stood directly beside the basilica. [[Joachim von Sandrart]] provided the church with a new altar piece, which today is kept in the prelates' hall. After the Turkish siege, the church was restored. As the Baroque west tower was barely higher than the façade itself, its extension has often been proposed, but this has never come to fruition.

Around 1700 the great Baroque musician [[Johann Fux]] was the organist at the Schottenstift.

In 1773 and 1774, a new priory, with school, was built by Andreas Zach in the grounds of an open air cemetery. As it resembled a piece of furniture, it became popularly known as the ''Schubladkastenhaus'' ("the chest-of-drawers house"). Directly next door stood the ''Hotel Römischer Kaiser'', where the first public performance of a song by [[Franz Schubert]] was held.

In 1807 the ''[[Schottengymnasium]]'', an institute for secondary education, was founded by imperial decree.

Around 1830, the auxiliary buildings of the Abbey, in particular those that bordered on the [[Freyung (Vienna)|Freyung]], were renovated and partially rebuilt by [[Joseph Kornhäusel]].

In the 1880s the church was restored and partially renovated. From this period date the ceiling paintings by Julius Schmid, and a new high altar, built from sketches by [[Heinrich von Ferstel]], with a [[mosaic]] by Michael Rieser.

In the court, there is a ''Schwarze Muttergottes'' (a "[[Black Madonna]]"), designed in 1825 by Peter Nobile. The fountain, with a statue of Henry II, is the work of Sebastian Wagner.
