Life

Bernd Schellenberger

Trappists in Heimbach.[1][2] Two years later, he studied monastic theology at the Abbaye du Mont-des-Cats [fr]. He continued theology studies at the University of Salzburg in 1969/70 and at the University of Freiburg from 1969 to 1972, graduating with the Diplom.[1]

Schellenberger was consecrated as a priest in 1972. In 1975, he became prior of Mariawald.[1] He published books and translated from 1978, first translating Henri Nouwen's The Genesee Diary – Report from a Trappist Monastery.[3] He translated more works by Nouwen, Richard Rohr and many other American, French and Irish authors, with topics such as Zen meditation, Jewish mysticism, Church history, dealing with illness, improving health, family affairs, enneagram and social criticism.[3]

In 1981, Schellenberger and two other friars left Mariawald and tried a community in an empty parish house in Donzdorf, but failed.[1] He lived in the Abbey of the Genesee in Genesee County, New York from 1982,[3] returning to Donzdorf in 1983, where he lived as a freelance writer. Beginning in 1988, he has lived and worked at times in Togo, helping Africans.[1][3][4] In 1991, he married a woman with two children, for whom he cared. They separated in 1998. He has lived in Bad Tölz from 2006.[1]
