Bullaten Monastery (Königsberg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bullaten Monastery was a branch of the Franciscan Observants ( also Bullaten in Low German ) in Königsberg in the Prussian Order from 1517 to 1524.

history

In an undated letter, Simon Neumeister, the commissioner of the Franciscan Observant Custody of Livonia and Prussia, asked Grand Master Albrecht of the Teutonic Order to found a convent in Königsberg. In another undated letter, the Bishop of Samland and the Cathedral Chapter asked the Grand Master not to found such a monastery. This resistance seems to have continued in the following years, because the monks interfered with the rights and claims of the clergy there.

Probably shortly after Easter 1517 the Franciscan Observants were allowed to build a building ( cells ) for their monastery, and a hospital of a secular brotherhood was assigned to them by the Grand Master as a place. This must have been on the Schlossteich at the later Münzplatz in Kneiphof . On September 9th, the monks were allowed to use the church there. The monastery was the third of the observants in the Order of Prussia after those in Wehlau and Tilsit.

In 1521 the monks had to move to a new location on the Löbenicht , near the nunnery there . In 1524, following the rebellious sermons of Johannes Amandus on Easter Monday, the monastery was stormed and plundered by angry people. The monks had to flee.

The further fate of the monastery complex is unknown.
