Life
After Johannes von Werden was appointed provost in Benninghausen monastery in 1632 , he was elected abbot of Marienfeld monastery in 1634. Since the Thirty Years' War raged during his reign , the abbot lived with his convent in exile in Warendorf .
The abbot carried out an administrative reform in the monastery. Office titles and areas of responsibility were canceled and merged. Interest, income and assets were from now on administered together.
