history

In 1479 the Huysburg Monastery sold its Badersleben monastery courtyard including a water mill to the Augustinian choir women of the Marienthal Monastery in Eldagsen near Hildesheim, which had been destroyed by a fire. They founded their new monastery in Badersleben. The name carried over to the monastery in Badersleben: Marienbe (c) k or Marienspring. In 1503 the monastery received papal confirmation.

After the Reformation made the area around Magdeburg and Halberstadt Evangelical-Lutheran, the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 made it possible for 17 Catholic monasteries to remain in the Evangelical area. This also included the monastery in Badersleben. From 1650 on, the monastery was under the jurisdiction of the Nuncio in Cologne, and from 1669 to the Apostolic Vicariate of the North, which had recently been founded .

In 1810 the monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization by the Westphalian government on the instructions of Jérôme Bonaparte . The Prussian state transferred the monastery church, named after the princes of the apostles Simon Petrus and Paulus von Tarsus , to the local Catholic parish, which has since used it as a parish church.

In 1835 Gustav von Gustedt from Dardesheim bought the monastery and the land that belonged to it and founded an agricultural school here in 1846. It quickly gained an excellent reputation and attracted countless inquisitive people from all over the world until it was closed in 1939. In 1896 the organ of the church was bought by Wilhelm Rühlmann senior. Erected as Opus 181, with two manuals and 20 stops . In 2014 it was restored.

On March 1, 2006 the community association Huysburg - Badersleben - Schwanebeck was established. Since March 22, 2009, the church has belonged to the Catholic parish of St. Benedict , which was rebuilt from the community at that time. The parish of St. Peter and Paul in Badersleben was dissolved in this context. This was the first parish merger as a result of the reorganization of the Magdeburg diocese.

Today, in addition to Badersleben, the catchment area of ​​the church includes the villages of Anderbeck , Dardesheim , Dedeleben , Huy-Neinstedt , Vogelsdorf and Westerburg . The Anna Maria day-care center opposite the church also belongs to the parish . The communal Albert Klaus primary school has been located in the former monastery building since 1991 and a residential facility for mentally handicapped adults that has been part of the International Federation since 2010 .
