from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caroline von Bremer (full name Caroline Maria Julia Freiin von Bremer or Caroline Marie Julie Freiin von Bremer ; * 1766 , † 1845 in Marienwerder ) was abbess of the Marienwerder monastery .

Life

Caroline von Bremer was born at the time of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg during the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover as a scion of the noble family von Bremer as daughter of the real secret council and state minister Benedix von Bremer (Benedict Bremer; 1717–1779) and Caroline Auguste von Haus (Caroline Augustine von Haus; 1733–1795). She was one of the couple's four children.

In 1796, Bremer introduced chanoinesse to the monastery of the same name in Marienwerder .

The "Haus von Bremer" built by Laves in 1822 was operated as the Hotel Victoria from around 1850 after being bought and renovated by Klävemann , before it gave way to the Friedrich-Wilhelm house in 1905 or 1906 .

At the time of the Kingdom of Hanover at the beginning of the 1820s, she commissioned the architect and royal Hanoverian court building officer Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves to design a representative residential building in Hanover for herself. According to the plans by Laves from 1821, which were preserved in the Hanover State Archives, the Nobles named the building as one of the first residential buildings and a prototype of a series of similar houses at the - temporarily - address Georgstraße 19 (later house number 27) on the corner of Windmühlenstraße. However, construction of the Bremer house did not begin until November 1822. The house bought "von Klävemann" in 1850/51 and then rebuilt was last the Hotel Victoria and was demolished in 1905 or 1906.

In 1827 the baroness was elected abbess of the Marienwerder monastery. The dominatrix continued to live mainly in Hanover. In the monastery, however, she was able to prevent the demolition of the old, "long since largely functionless nuns' gallery", even though the steadily growing community - which at that time also included the churchgoers von Stöcken - soon "lacked light and air".

Von Bremer's tomb in Marienwerder has been preserved to this day.
