Collegium Norbertinum
The Collegium Norbertinum was a joint study house of Premonstratensian for Zirkarie Westfalia in Cologne . It existed from 1615 to 1802.
founding
The Collegium Norbertinum was founded in 1615 by the abbot of the Steinfeld / Eifel monastery , Christophorus Pilckmann (1606–1630). It was in the Steinfelder Hof, near the Church of St. Gereon in the west of Cologne. The undertaking to set up a joint study house for the entire cicaria was initiated by the papal nuncio Fabio Chigi, who later became Pope Alexander VII (1655–1667). Since the abbot von Steinfeld was at the same time the chief visitor of all Premonstratensian institutions of the Circarie Westfalia , this task was his.
In the Collegium Norbertinum in Cologne, named after the founder of the order, Norbert von Xanten , the young Premonstratensian Canons completed their theological and ecclesiastical studies and lived there when they were studying at the then Cologne University .
After the abolition of the university (1798) and the secularization of ecclesiastical properties in the French era , the end of the institution came in 1802.
