'''Christgarten Charterhouse''' ({{langx|de|Kloster Christgarten}}) is a former [[Carthusian]] monastery, or charterhouse, near [[Ederheim]] in [[Bavaria]], [[Germany]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The monastery, dedicated to [[Simon Peter|Saint Peter]], was founded in 1383 by Counts Ludwig and Friedrich von Oettingen. From 1525 the counts of [[Oettingen]] supported the [[Protestant Reformation|Reformation]], and from 1558 Carthusian monks from Christgarten were called to be Protestant ministers. In the course of the Reformation the prior of [[Hürnheim]] (near Ederheim) also converted to the new teaching and from then on ministered to Christgarten in a Reformist spirit.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, the charterhouse was not dissolved until after the [[Thirty Years' War]], in 1649. In 1656 the bell tower was demolished; further buildings followed in the 18th and 19th centuries. All that remained of the monastic church was the [[choir (architecture)|choir]], which was used as the Protestant parish church. The "Scheuffelin altar" was given to the [[Alte Pinakothek]] in [[Munich]].<br />
