Gertrudenkloster

Gertrudenkloster are called numerous monasteries.

Historical monasteries are usually named after St.  Gertrud von Nivelles (626–659), abbess of the Nivelles monastery in Belgium. She was a Benedictine , hence the name is common for Benedictine abbeys. In addition, there are also names after St.  Gertrud von Helfta (1256–1301 / 2), a nun in the Helfta monastery near Eisleben, who was a Cistercian and in modern times is accepted for patronage.
