Ebstorf Monastery
Before 1150, the Premonstratensians founded a canon double pen for men and women, but after a fire the men left Ebstorf to help build the Ratzeburg Cathedral . From 1197 at the latest, Ebstorf was a Benedictine convent. In 1565 the Protestant Reformation finally prevailed in Ebstorf Monastery . Even today the monastery is inhabited and preserved by Protestant conventual women as part of an independent corporation under public law within the association of the Hanover Monastery Chamber founded in 1818 . Most of the current monastery buildings date from the 14th and 15th centuries. The conventual women offer tours through the monastery, during which they also show numerous items of equipment such as: B. Sculptures, glass paintings, textiles, paintings, furniture and altarpieces mainly from the Middle Ages; The most famous sight is a replica of the Ebstorf world map burned in 1943 .

The Ebstorf world map was a round map 3.57 m in diameter on 30 sheets of parchment with Jerusalem as the center. It is said to be an imitation of a Roman world map from the fourth century. It is the largest cycling map and representation of the world from the Middle Ages. It is named after the place where it was found, the Ebstorf Benedictine monastery. There she was found in a storage room in 1830; two parts of the map were destroyed by mouse feeding, including the area of today's Brandenburg. In addition, a 50 × 60 cm large piece of map in the upper right half in the area of today's India was cut out shortly after the rediscovery for unexplained reasons.
