History of the Beguines in Geldern

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beguines have been recorded in the Archdiocese of Cologne since the 13th century , and at the turn of the next centennial also in Geldern on the Lower Rhine . This was the beginning of the late medieval history of the Beguines in Geldern .

Geldrische Beguinages

The first Geldrian sisters' community consisted of three beguinages in Veerter Strasse (today Am Treppchen) since around 1300. De Eyl , ten Elsen and conventus novus united in 1400 to a Beguine convent . It chose the middle name of the names mentioned and formed a corporation of the Sisters of Life Together (see below). The Cologne Erzbistumssynode of 1452 built pressure on the beguines to make this a Third Order - Constitution chose. Ten Elsen went one step further, coveted acceptance into the Carmelite order . Nicholas V , Pope (1447-1455) granted this in the same year, which led to the foundation of the Carmelite Monastery of Geldern and the Second Order of the Carmelites ( bull cum nulla ).

The second - the Nazareth Beguinage - turned to the Sisters of Common Life from 1418. This contradicted the description above, but fit into the historical context. The said congregation belonged to the Augustinian Sisters . In addition, the Augustinian monastery of Geldern was also called Nazareth.

According to tradition, the third created three virtuous virgins in 1432 . They oriented their pious life to the Third Constitution of Francis of Assisi . Again in 1452 there was a change. From that time, the city recorded chronicles a convent of Franciscan nuns . The Hülser Monastery in Geldern now officially applied their regulations .
