Althof is a district of the town of Bad Doberan in the Rostock district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It is the place where the Doberan Monastery was first founded and today has around 200 inhabitants.
geography
Althof is about 3 kilometers southeast of Bad Doberan city center. The village of Hohenfelde in the west of Althof is only one kilometer away, further east is the municipality of Bartenshagen-Parkentin .
Two forest areas, the Cepeliner Holz and the Hütter Wohld, surround the place. The Althöfer ponds are located on the edge of the Hütter Wohld. The Althöfer Bach, which rises near Ivendorf, flows through Althof. There is a village pond in the center of the village.
Surname
The place name is derived from the fact that one of the first commercial courtyards ( Grangien ) of the Doberan monastery was built at this point . Other names for the district were Alt Doberan , Alter Hof or Altenhof .
history
A Germanic settlement existed in the area of today's Althof . The Mecklenburg Prince Pribislaw , who converted to Christianity after the defeat in the Battle of Verchen , had pagan cult images and a temple destroyed there in 1164 and a church built instead. In 1171, the Schwerin bishop Berno ordered the establishment of a Cistercian monastery at this location. Pribislaw's wife Woizlawa is said to have played a major role in this decision. The monastery in Althof was the first in all of Mecklenburg . However, it was destroyed as early as 1179 when the Slavs rose against Christianization after the death of Pribislav . When the monastery was devastated on November 10, 1179, they killed all 78 monks.
In 1186 the monastery was re-established at its current location in Bad Doberan . Althof was given a new function: At the beginning of the 13th century, Doberan monks built the eponymous Grangie Althof there . Next to the farm yard there were at least two barns and a mill . In the 14th century Althof was repeatedly the target of armed attacks.
In the middle of the 19th century, around 130 people lived in Althof. The current population is given by the city of Bad Doberan as 182.
Attractions
The origins of the Doberan monastery in Althof can still be seen today.
The Althof Chapel is the successor to the first church in Mecklenburg. This was the core of the Althöfer monastery and served as Woizlawa's grave . After the church was destroyed, the chapel, which is still preserved today, was built in the 14th century. After being used as a bakery , the building was restored in the 19th century and redesigned by Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel . The chapel was last renovated in 2009/10.
Only a ruin remains of the monastery barn. This was probably built as a farm building at the beginning of the 13th century. The 45 meter long structure has 15 lancet windows, some of which are now bricked up.
Another architectural monument is the manor house on the village pond.
