history

Beginnings

The beginnings of the Rottweiler Preacher Convent presumably came from Esslingen am Neckar and Freiburg im Breisgau as a preliminary stage of a hostel. According to later tradition, the dukes of Teck were behind such efforts, but the Counts of Sulz and the lords of Zimmer are also to be accepted as patrons and protectors. In 1266 the Rottweil Preachers' Convention was recognized by the Teutonia Order . In 1267, Duke Konradin of Swabia placed the new convent under the protection of the Rottweiler citizens. Albertus Magnus stayed with the Rottweiler preachers in 1268 and issued a letter of indulgence for the construction of their monastery church , which is said to have been consecrated in 1282 and received the patronage of St. Peter and Paul. In 1303 a "study" is recorded in the Rottweiler Predigerkloster, and in 1477 a second library can also be found. In comparison to other monasteries, the convent only acquired modest properties such as a bathing room, tithe rights in Neufra and Göllsdorf, fishing rights in the Neckar and Schwarzach, and vineyards in Rottenburg and Schaffhausen. The Rottweiler Lektor brother Kaspar became chaplain of Duke Albrechts VI in 1444 . of Austria .

Flowering time after the Reformation

A few years later, the Rottweiler Predigerkloster was the main base of the old believing party in the imperial city. From 1526 the prior Georg Neudorffer took part in the dispute with the Constance reformer Ambrosius Blarer with his own writings , until the monastery reading master was expelled from the city.

From 1642 onwards, the convent, consisting of only five priests , gradually recovered . The Marshal of France Jean Baptiste Budes de Guébriant died here after the siege of Rottweiler from a sustained wound on November 24, 1643. The brotherhoods grew stronger and stronger, especially the miracle with the miraculous image of the turn of the eyes triggered and ultimately had a flourishing pilgrimage the result of the baroque renovation of the preacher's monastery and associated church that began in 1739. This work was the responsibility of Prior Hermenegild Linsenmann from Rottweil, who worked with artists such as Joseph Wannenmacher and Meinrad von Aw . From 1709 the Rottweiler Preacher Convent belonged to the order province of Saxonia .

resolution

After Württemberg troops had occupied Rottweil, the Dominicans were ordered to dissolve on December 29, 1802. The preacher's church was closed immediately, the miraculous image of Our Lady was transferred from the turn of the eyes to the Heilig Kreuz Münster . The monastery was abandoned until January 2, 1803. In the same year, church treasures, furniture and the library were cleared out. The Predigerkirche became a Protestant garrison church in 1806 and a Protestant town church in 1818 and has largely been preserved in its baroque splendor. The monastery initially served the Württemberg military, became a school in 1827 and its remains were demolished in 1972. The Dominican Museum , a branch museum of the Württemberg State Museum, stands in its place today .

In 2020, a sample sermon on the saints (1486) with an ownership note from the Rottweiler Dominican monastery was acquired by the Rottweil History and Antiquity Association with financial support from the Rottweil district, the OEW association and a private individual. The manual of sermon literature is one of 15 copies still available in Germany.
