Hofmark Bergen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hofmark Bergen was a Hofmark of the Bergen Monastery of Benedictine nuns based in Bergen near Neuburg , today a district of Neuburg an der Donau in the Upper Bavarian district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen .

Former Bergen Monastery

The monastery estates, but without the provost office of Hersbruck , formed the Hofmark Bergen. The monastery enjoyed lower jurisdiction for the Hofmark since the 14th century and since 1505 membership in the Palatinate-Neuburg landscape .

The monastery was abolished in 1542 by Ottheinrich von Pfalz-Neuburg during the Reformation . After the re-catholicization , the Jesuit seminar in Neuburg an der Donau took over the old privileges with the Hofmark in 1641 .

The Landstandschaft ceased to exist in 1808 when the Palatinate-Neuburg landscape was abolished. The seminary renounced the lower jurisdiction in 1817. It has since been exercised by the district court of Neuburg an der Donau . The lordship of the seminary ended in 1848.
