Annuntiatenkloster Düren
The Annuntiatenkloster in Düren , North Rhine-Westphalia , on Zehnthofstraße stood at the confluence of Kleine Zehnhofstraße at number 26–32.
In 1628 the first branch of the contemplative women's order of the Annunti, founded by Jeanne de Valois in 1501, was established in Düren .
The Franciscan Joseph Bergaigne hit in the summer of 1627 the Provincial of the Province of Cologne, Theodor Rheinfeld from Dusseldorf at a meeting in Cologne Düren as a location for a branch before. For this purpose, Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm von Jülich and Berg gave permission on July 28, 1627. On August 7th of the same year, the Düren city council approved the construction of the monastery . The Duke contributed 1,500 Reichstaler .
The Dorpmannische Haus in what was then Zehnthofgasse was bought for 4,000 Cologne thalers . Six nuns ( sorores velates ) were selected in Antwerp , who left on October 18, 1628 and arrived in Düren on October 24 at around 6 p.m., where they were greeted by a delegation from the city council. He moved into the monastery on October 28th.
In the period that followed, the sisters bought several small houses and land in the neighborhood, including a plot of land "on the old dike in Bungart" in 1641 to build a new monastery. However, this initially met with resistance from patrons and the city. When a 7,000-strong Hessian army entered Düren on September 8, 1643, the monastery in Zehnthofgasse suffered severe damage from bombardment, which the monastery took as an occasion to move. Almost six months later, the move was reversed as premature and the old monastery was renovated. The house on Altenteich was sold.
Since the convent chapel had become too small, which was on September 7, 1659 foundation stone for a convent church set, the Auxiliary Bishop Heinrich d'Anethan Cologne on the 29 April 1684 patronage Annunciation consecrated . Second patrons were Josef, Joachim, Anna and the archangel Gabriel. The side altars were consecrated to St. Joseph and St. Francis . A holy grave was also included .
The sisters brought a trousseau into the monastery, which often consisted of lands. As a result, the monastery was not dependent on donations like the Franciscans. A good relationship was maintained with the neighboring Franciscans.
From Düren, Margaretha Kellenberg (1587–1644), the founder of the Düren branch, founded the Annuntiatenkloster Aachen and later a monastery in Andernach .
The monastery in Düren was given up in the course of secularization in 1802. Some of the sisters stayed in town until 1836. The monastery was sold to a private person and the monastery church fell into disrepair until it was later demolished.
