Apollonia from Dalberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apollonia von Dalberg (spiritually also: Maria Apollonia ) (* around 1487 ; † April 12, 1524 ) from the family of the Knights von Dalberg was abbess of the Marienberg monastery near Boppard .

Origin and family

Apollonia was a daughter of Frederick VI. von Dalberg (1459–1506) and his wife Katharina , daughter of Dieter and Anna von Gemmingen (around 1462–1507).

Anna Apollonia was the only Dalberger woman to become abbess in the monastery, although five other women from the family also entered here during this time. A number of distant relatives of Apollonia from the family of the Chamberlain von Worms also became nuns in the Marienberg Monastery, including in management positions: Guda, daughter of Johann VII Chamberlain von Worms, became prioress of the Marienberg Monastery, Kunigunde Beyer von Boppard in the mid-14th century , widowed chamberlain of Worms († March 21, 1476) became after the death of her husband, Adam I. Chamberlain of Worms († December 18, 1463), nun and died as abbess of the monastery Marienberg and Barbara († 1535), daughter of Philip I Chamberlain of Worms , became prioress of the monastery in 1469. Margarethe and Gertrud, two sisters of Apollonia, also lived as nuns in the Marienberg monastery.

Act

Apollonia entered the Marienberg monastery near Boppard as a nun. There she followed Cäcilia von Ingelheim, who died in April 1518, as abbess and held office until her death in 1524.

Anna Apollonia's grave slab was embedded below the steps to the choir of the monastery church, was badly damaged in the fire of the monastery building in 1738 and was removed when the church was demolished in 1802 at the latest. When the monastery was rebuilt after the fire, in the second half of the 18th century, a new plate was placed in the cloister for them - as for other members of the order. The lower half of this has been preserved and is now placed in the monastery garden. The inscription reads R (EVEREN) DA D (OMI) NA / dE DalbE / RG PRae / FVIT A (NN) IS 5 / ObIIT A (NN) O / 1524 ( The honorable Mrs. von Dalberg, who [the monastery] 5 years before, died in 1524 ). In 1773 this plate was still intact when it was signed. The drawing has been preserved.
