history
The exact year in which the Franciscan Order, founded in 1210, was founded in Burg is unknown. It was mentioned for the first time in a letter from Archbishop Giselbert von Bremen in 1302 or 1303, so it should have been made around the turn of the 13th to the 14th century. It belonged to the custody of Magdeburg of the order province of Saxonia and lay in the secular territory of the archbishopric of Magdeburg . There is no information about the monastery for the period between about 1340 and 1484. At the provincial chapter of Saxonia in 1507 in Cottbus, Provincial Minister Ludwig Henning forced the brothers of the convent in Burg to adopt the moderately strict Martinian way of life, as did the brothers in Aschersleben and Barby .
In 1532 three priests and a lay brother lived there, also in 1536. In 1538 the Franciscans left the monastery as a result of the Reformation and it was given to the city. A Latin school was established.
In 1626, the complex was destroyed by shelling by imperial troops in the Thirty Years' War . No remains are visible today.
