- The purpose of this thesis is to examine the role of monasteries as mediators of knowledge. The situation nowadays is compared with the time of the regency of Emperor Joseph II. Monasteries needed an area of specialisation in order to survive dissolution at the end of the 18th century. In this thesis, the transfer of those specific qualifications in the area of knowledge management into the 21st century is investigated. Issues concerning science, education, libraries and archives in the three most important male orders in the province of Northern Tyrol are addressed. The hypothesis that monasteries which managed not to be abolished during the regency of Emperor Joseph II still play a vital part in the area of knowledge management in Northern Tyrol is tested. A review of the literature on this topic is undertaken. Furthermore, discursive interviews are conducted with monks in order to investigate the current situation. In conclusion, it was found that monasteries nowadays are just one segment of a huge market in the sector of knowledge management. In order to be successful, they again have to diversify. On the basis of the research conducted, convents in the provinces of Eastern and Southern Tyrol could be analysed as well.
