history

founding

In 1472, Elector Friedrich I of the Palatinate (1425–1476) and Count Palatine Friedrich I of Palatinate-Simmern (1417–1480) received from Pope Sixtus IV (1414–1484, reigned 1471) the approval to establish a Franciscan monastery in Kreuznach . The building was completed in 1481 after the death of the founders of Elector Philip the Sincere (1448–1508) and Duke Johann I von Pfalz-Simmern (1459–1509). The monastery was built for 30 religious and was consecrated to St. Wolfgang von Regensburg . The veneration of a miraculous statue of St. Wolfgang from pear wood, donated by a resident of the city, brought the monastery rich donations from the wide area. From 1482, on the cast of a bell made by the founder Tilman von Hachenburg from the church of St. Philipp and Jakob in Heidesheim am Rhein , which was destroyed by lightning in 1910, there is a pilgrim sign with a depiction of the saint, the Kreuznach city arms and the minuscule inscription sanctvs wolfg [angvs] crvcenach received. In 1484 the monastery building was handed over to the papal chair and the religious could move into it. It belonged to the Upper German or "Strasbourg" order province ( Provincia Argentina ). At the provincial chapter in Leonberg , the Nuremberg lecturer Stefan Fridelin (* around 1430; † 1498) from Winnenden , who was elected definitor of the order province on August 2, 1484, was appointed as a discreet (member of the management) for the newly founded monastery in Kreuznach. Vicar General Johannes Alphart († 1492) consecrated the monastery on August 17, 1484 in the presence of Duke Johann I von Pfalz-Simmern and his wife Johanna von Nassau-Saarbrücken (1464-1521).

Johannes Trithemius (1462–1516) wrote a letter to the Guardian of the Kreuznach monastery Johannes Rachesis of Cologne in 1487. In 1489 Trithemius wrote several letters - u. a. About monastic friendship ( amicitia monastica ) and purgatory - to the preacher of the Franciscan monastery in Kreuznach, Bernhardin Schlierbach († 1524), who had asked him to send him works about the mercy and love of God, the glory of heaven, the Eucharist and praise of Mary to name.

In 1489, Elector Philipp and Duke Johann I regulated the rights and obligations of a water pipe from Galgenberg to Kreuznach's old town, part of which was supposed to belong to the Franciscan monastery. At the provincial chapter, which first met on August 15, 1490 in Kreuznach, Johannes Heilmann von Lindenfels († 1503) from Riedfeld ( Neustadt an der Aisch ) was elected provincial vicar of the order province for the third time . The later (1499 and 1505) Vicar General Johannes Keller († 1505) from Kaysersberg was also present at this chapter, during which, among other things, provisions were issued against coats, pillows and other superfluous items in the cells of the Franciscan Friars. In Kreuznach, Johann Heilmann concluded on the same day a "fraternization" between the entire order province, the Franciscan monastery of St. Bernardine in Lenzfried and Abbot Nikolaus Röslin († 1492) from the Benedictine abbey of Ottobeuren, which was adjacent to Lenzfried .

Bonifatius Menger († 1519), who became famous for his witty sermons, died in the Kreuznach convent .

Humanistic veneration of Anne and Mary

In the Franciscan monastery in Kreuznach - as in the neighboring monastery Sponheim the Benedictines under Abbot Trithemius - cultivated a special humanistic veneration of Anne and Mary . The Franciscan Franz Wiler (around 1450–1514) wrote a letter from Kreuznach in 1490 to the Leipzig medical student Peter Morderer from Windesheim about the theological ideas of the " immaculists ". In Kreuznach he wrote the book Lignum pomiferum ... De immaculata conceptione B [eatae] M [ariae] V [irginis] , literally " Fruit- bearing wood ... About the immaculate conception of the Holy Virgin Mary" , as a symbol of the incarnation of Christ from the Virgin . In 1494 he dedicated the writing to the Abbot Trithemius of Sponheim. Wiler was a student of the wandering humanist Peter Luder (around 1415–1472) and is considered a forerunner of Basel humanism. Albert Morderer († 1519) is documented as guardian of the Kreuznach Franciscan convent in 1492 and 1496 . In 1494/95 in a letter to the maculistic Dominican Wigand Wirt (Cauponis) (1460–1519) in Frankfurt am Main, he defended the view that Mary had been conceived by her mother Anna without sin . At Morderer's request, Trithemius wrote a - today lost - treatise “De computo ecclesiastico” on the ecclesiastical calendar.

The former Kreuznach lector and preacher Bernhardin Schlierbach, who referred to the effectiveness of the Mother of Mary and the Holy Tribe in each of his sermons , founded an Annenbruderschaft in Brixen in 1497. In 1516 brother Chrismann Procuratoris († 1524), who corresponded with Johannes Reuchlin (1455–1522), Konrad Pellikan (1478–1556), Nikolaus Ellenbog (1481–1543) and Bruno Amerbach (1488–1535), was a reading master and preacher of the order in Kreuznach ("predicator cruczennacensis ordinis minorum de obseruancia"). Hedwig von Flersheim (around 1483–1516), the wife of the Kreuznach chief bailiff Franz von Sickingen , was buried in the monastery in the same year. Her brother Philipp von Flersheim (1481–1552), Bishop of Speyer, had a report drawn up about the funeral of his sister, the 7-day and 30-day ministry of the soul in the monastery church .

Dealing with the Reformation

In the Kreuznach monastery, the born Kreuznacher ( "Stauronesius" ) Johannes Findling († 1538) entered the Franciscan order. He was the German organizer of the sermons of indulgence in 1515 and published pamphlets against Martin Luther after the Peasants' War . The Swiss Franciscan Daniel Agricola (* around 1490; † around 1540), who had already published various writings in Basel - including a Passion of Christ - also wrote a pamphlet against Luther in Kreuznach monastery in 1528, which he wrote to Count Palatine Johann II of Simmern ( 1492–1557) dedicated. In 1529 he wrote Wegfart mit sicherm gleid by luttersche abweg in Kreuznach , which he dedicated to the nun Katharina von Pfalz-Zweibrücken (1510–1542) in the Marienberg monastery near Boppard .

The Provincial Minister Heinrich Kastner († 1530; resigned in 1525) complained in 1524 in an Epistola encyclical in the Franciscan convent Kreuznach about the Order withdrawal of some brothers. After his resignation, on May 7, 1525, Sunday Jubilate , a provincial chapter of the Franciscans took place in the Kreuznach monastery, which was headed by the custodian Gregor Heilmann († after 1537). We have received a letter from Konrad Pellikan, at that time still a member of the order, from Basel to Kreuznach, which he knew from two visits in 1515 and 1516. In the letter Pellikan justifies his turn to the Reformation and excuses his absence from the chapter of the order . Pellikan fell out with Gregor Heilmann as the Basel Guardian in 1523. In 1525, the Mainz Guardian Alexander Molitoris († 1549) was elected vicar provincial on the chapter.

In 1554 the vice-guardian of the Limburg Franciscan monastery , Philipp von Hersfeld (Hitzfeld) died in the Kreuznach convent. He is the author of a collection of manuscripts by medieval authors, including excerpts from ten different Cusanus writings, and a Florilegium of sentences.

Conversion into a hospital

As a result of the Reformation , the monastery was in 1559/68 by the Electors Ottheinrich (1502–1559) and Friedrich III. repealed by the Palatinate (1515–1576) and the building with its rich donation was converted into a community hospital; the memory of it has been preserved in the street name Hospitalgasse .

In 1584 the grave monument of Hedwig von Flersheim, which had been in the choir of St. Wolfgang's Church, was transferred to the then Lutheran parish church of Ebernburg by her grandson Hans Schweikard I von Sickingen (1541–1589) and was still there in 1660 available. It was the same with the tombs of the Schonette von Sickingen, b. Sien († 1483), and Margaretha Puller von Hohenburg († 1507).

Resettlement of the monastery

In 1623, after the Spanish conquest of Kreuznach, the monastery building was again taken over by the Franciscans - now recollects of the Cologne Franciscan Province ( Colonia ) - with an interruption from 1632 to 1635/36 during the time of the Swedish occupation. The governor of the Spanish Netherlands Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain sent the General Commissioner of the Franciscans for Germany and the Netherlands Joseph Bergaigne (1588–1647) to Kreuznach in 1626 to resolve a dispute between the governor Don Guillermo de Verdugo di Fauleria (1578–1629) and the Supreme Commander Marqués Ambrosio Spinola (1569-1630) to arbitrate. Bergaigne, later Bishop of 's-Hertogenbosch and Archbishop of Cambrai , stayed in the Kreuznach monastery in the summer of 1630 after a provincial chapter that had taken place in Bonn in May and in November 1631.

In 1648 the Kreuznach Franciscans became the Catholics in Ebernburg (Lordship Sickingen ), Dalberg and Wallhausen (Lordship Dalberg ), Sobernheim (Chapel of the Maltese ), Merxheim (half of the Lordship of Bourscheid-Burgbrohl ), Martinstein (Lordship of Schönborn ), Wartenstein (Lordship of Warsberg) ), Gemünden and Schmidtburg (rule Schenk von Schmidtburg ), Oberstein , Gau-Bickelheim , Dromersheim and on the Kauzenburg . In 1672 they were active in 29 localities.

In the 1650s, an attempt by the Franciscans to found a Catholic school in the predominantly Reformed town of Kreuznach failed. In the Kreuznach religious comparison from December 4th jul. / December 14,  1652 greg. between Ludwig Philipp von Pfalz-Simmern (1602–1655) and Margrave Wilhelm von Baden (1593–1677) the catholicum publicum exercitium (the public Roman Catholic religious practice) was allowed in St. Wolfgang, but the number of friars in the Franciscan monastery was 8 People limited.

In 1660 the still existing inscriptions on the grave monuments of the monastery by Adam Bürvenich (1603–1676) were added.

In January 1664, the Guardian Hermann Mott (1624–1704) held a dispute about the remarriage of divorced people at Ebernburg Castle with the Norheim Lutheran pastor and superintendent Johann Tobias Weber called Hagen († 1682). In the same year, seven controversial theological disputations between Catholic and Protestant theologians took place in St. Wolfgang .

The Guardian Werner Rost founded the Maria Himmelfahrt monastery in Spabrücken in 1680 .

Destruction, rebuilding and permanent abolition of the monastery

During the Palatinate War of Succession , the monastery and church were destroyed in 1689, except for the choir. After the Peace of Rijswijk , a solemn Te Deum was held in the ruins of the church on January 1, 1698 . In 1708 St. Wolfgang became a parish for Kreuznach rechts der Nahe. With the support of Elector Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz (1658-1716), Duke of Jülich and Berg ( "Jan Wellem" ), the reconstruction took place in 1715-1718. The foundation stone from 1715, found again in 2009, is now on display in the St. Wolfgang's Choir. Around 1720 the church received a high altar with six statues and four angel figures. In 1727 the church was rededicated.

After the French occupation of the Rhineland, a court martial under the commandant of the Corps d'armée du Hundsruck of the Sambre and Maas Army , General René Charles Élisabeth de Ligniville (1760-1813), came together in December 1796 in the Franciscan monastery of Kreuznach , from the general Charles-Auguste Bonamy called de Bellefontaine (1764-1830) was sentenced to a two-year "galley sentence " ( Bagno ) for assaults and embezzlement .

In 1802, when Kreuznach became part of France , the Franciscan monastery was finally abolished in the course of secularization . The brothers over 60 years old were given a pension of 600 francs, the younger ones 500 francs annually. 17 pounds of silver was confiscated. 42 works from the monastery library in 27 volumes are now in the possession of the University and State Library in Düsseldorf . Other books from the convent have found their way into the library of the Episcopal Seminary in Trier , the Mainz City Library and the Luxembourg National Library .

The parish of St. Wolfgang was first downgraded to a succursal or auxiliary parish in 1804 and then abolished in 1808.

Use as a school building and library

After the abolition of the monastery and the parish, the buildings were initially used as a military hospital and in 1812/13 as a warehouse for 116 Spanish prisoners of war. From 1811 the Collège de Creuznach , today the state high school on the city wall, was on the site.

The old cemetery of the monastery, which was located between the monastery church and Klostergasse , was abandoned in 1819 and converted into a playground and gymnasium for the grammar school. The St. Wolfgang Church was renovated in 1926/28 and destroyed in a bomb attack on January 2, 1945, except for the choir. Today the Central Library of Local Studies for the Bad Kreuznach district is located in the St. Wolfgang Choir.

In 1891 a new monastery was founded in Bad Kreuznach - St. Marienwörth since 1905 - by the Franciscan Brothers of the Holy Cross from Innichen .
