Johanniterkommende Basel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Johanniterkommende Basel was a branch of the Order of St. John in Basel ( Canton Basel-Stadt , Switzerland). The commander was created around 1200 and was sold in 1806 by the last commander to the district governor Dagobert Gysendörfer. Since 1372 she was connected to the Kommende Rheinfelden to a kind of double commander, i. H. the commander of Basel was also commander of Rheinfelden. The governor in Rheinfelden, however, had authority-like powers at times.

Location of the Johanniterkommende Basel
Basel around 1650.
The location of the (former) Johanniterkommende and -kirche on a map of the city of Basel from around 1650 (not northward !, according to Merian, 1654).

location

When it was founded, the walled building complex with a church, churchyard and commons building was located approx. 300 m northwest of the walled old town of Basel on the Rhine. It was not until the city was expanded in 1361/88 that the area of ​​the coming was included in the wall ring. Nothing has survived above ground from the coming buildings. The church was still in disrepair at the end of the 16th century and was completely demolished in parts by 1775. The commander's building was sold to private customers in 1806 and demolished in 1929. The street names Johanniterbrücke, St. Johanns-Rheinweg and St. Johanns-Vorstadt are reminiscent of the coming ones and their church .

The Kommende Basel belonged to the order province of Alemannia (also Alamania ), which was divided into eight ballei in the Middle Ages. Basel belonged to the largest Ballei, the Ballei der Oberen Lande, which comprised southern Germany, Alsace and most of Switzerland, as well as a commander in Vorarlberg and (at a later date) a commander in Lorraine.

history

Much of the archive of the Kommende Basel was lost in the 19th century. Accordingly, the history of this order house of the Johanniter is comparatively poorly documented.

Early history up to the connection between the Kommende Basel and Rheinfelden

The Johanniter branch in Basel was probably built around 1200. At that time it was still outside the walled city on the major trade route towards Mulhouse and Strasbourg. With this location of the commander's building, the church and its own cemetery, everything actually points to an associated hospital and a pilgrims' hostel. Unfortunately there is no clear reference to a hospital or a pilgrims' hostel in the documents, but this cannot be completely ruled out given the lack of documents described. As early as 1206, the Kommende Basel had its own seal.

In 1219 she is already documented as being wealthy in the documents. At that time a dispute arose with the pleban of the parish church of St. Peter because the Johanniter had built (or restored) a chapel in front of the city walls and consecrated it to St. Nicholas. The pleban granted them parish rights (baptism, confession, Eucharist and funeral) in the Nikolaus chapel; in return, they had to cede a hat to the pleban in Wenzweiler (today Wentzwiller , Département Haut-Rhin , Region Grand Est , France). The houses in front of the city wall and some houses within the city walls should belong to the new special community. The contract also stipulated that no church service could be held on the feast day of St. Peter. At Christmas, Easter and Pentecost, the service could only be celebrated for strangers. The contract was signed by the Johanniter through Heinrich von Heimbach and the three brothers Gerualco, Conradus and Conradus. At that time they did not yet have their own commander or master. The Nikolaus chapel is documented in 1282. It was probably identical to the Brendan Chapel, which was first mentioned in a document in 1253. This chapel still belonged to the Knights of St. John in the 15th century.

The Church of the Coming also belonged to this special congregation, which was probably created a little later than the above contract. In 1306 a new altar was consecrated in this chapel. The chapel already existed then, possibly it was rebuilt and / or enlarged at that time. The prior had to give a part of the sacrifices donated in the Johanniter Chapel to the bishop. In 1469, Bishop Johann von Venningen donated religious offices and masses in the religious order church. The parish rights must have been transferred to this Johanniterkapelle later, because the special community was called St. Johann in the late Middle Ages. It is also known that Emperor Sigismund publicly received communion on Maundy Thursday 1434 in the Johanniterkirche. In the 15th century, some commendators also found their final resting place in the order church. In 1529 the small special parish was reunited with the main parish of St. Peter.

The Coming Basel was one of the more important Coming in the German Grand Priory. Commendator Werner von Eptingen took part in the chapter meetings of the Grand Priory in 1371 and 1376 in Heimbach. He also took part in the chapter meeting of 1382 in Heimbach, in which the Heimbach settlement was negotiated with the Brandenburg Ballei, and signed the settlement as Bailli in the Upper Lands.

Convention

At first there was no commander in office. In a document from the year 1252 the headmaster is only named Magister, only in 1260 is a commander named in a document; thus the branch in Basel is also occupied as an independent comer. However, the term Kommendator often only appears in the middle of the 13th century, and then alternates with Magister. A dependency on another coming party is not documented, so that the designation coming party is only attached to the head of department's title.

In the 13th century, the Kommende housed a small convent that had eleven members in 1269. The priestly brothers were under the direction of a prior. The head of the entire convention was the commendator (or commander). On the chapter of Heimbach in 1367, a convent size of five brothers and five lay people was set for Basel. The Coming Party must have had spacious rooms, because during the Council of Basel , Emperor Sigimund stayed in the Coming House from October 11, 1433 to mid-May 1434.

In 1495 three chaplains lived next to the commander in the commander's rooms. They kept a cook and a servant. In 1541 the convent was dissolved and only the secular conductor Jakobus Wilt lived here. The religious order church was closed and no more services were held in it.

Double coming with Rheinfelden

Gottlieb Wyss suggested that the order house in Basel and the order house in Rheinfelden form a kind of double coming. From about 1372 onwards, the two comers had been administered in personal union by the same commander, who first mostly lived in Basel and later also in Rheinfelden. According to Walter Gerd Rödel, the 1495 visit referred to the Rheinfelden branch as the Membrum von Basel. He concluded: thus the thesis of the "double coming" and her unusual position, which was put forward by Wyss, should have become invalid. But this does not quite correspond to historical facts.

In 1365, Petermann and Kunzmann von Eptingen, known as the Puliant, sold half of the village of Höflingen (which is now part of the town of Rheinfelden) to the Johanniterkommende in Basel. Why they sold this half of the village of Höflingen very close to Rheinfelden to the Kommende Basel and not to the Johanniterkommende in Rheinfelden, can be explained by the fact that the then commander of Basel was Werner von Eptingen, a relative of the sellers. In 1365 Franz Renke was commander in Rheinfelden. In a document from 1372 Werner von Eptingen was named as commander of Basel and Rheinfelden. The beginning of the personal union can thus be restricted to the period 1365 to 1372. However, the two comers remained independent in economic terms, and Rheinfelden was not devalued to a mere farmyard. At the time, the commander resided in Basel and appointed a governor in Rheinfelden who, after the following events, had commendator-like powers. In 1466, Engelhart Noll, the governor of Rheinfelden at the time, described himself as the commander of Rheinfelden. The then commendator of Basel Bero von Münchingen has now filed an arbitration tribunal whose members were the commendators of Freiburg i.Br., Reiden, Biel and Hemmendorf. They determined that Engelhart Noll was only governor, but not subject to the Basel commander's visitation. As the governor, Engelhart Noll only had to pay the Basel commendator an annual pension of 25 guilders, but he also had to forego the commodity from the Kommende Basel. The following governor of Rheinfelden, Heinrich Stahelin, is also occasionally referred to as commander in 1497.

In the visitation report of 1495 mentioned above, Rheinfelden is clearly referred to as a membrum , i. H. was part of the Coming Basel. According to this visitation report, Bero von Münchingen had left the Rheinfelden comrades to Heinrich Stahel for life with the consent of the provincial chapter. The annual donation to the religious house in Basel was now 60 guilders.

The following two governors in Rheinfelden, Georgius Lang and Hans Steck, left only a few documented traces. Conrad Vach, who followed in 1531, was all the more active. Secular sources refer to him as a commander throughout, while documents from the Order of St. John always identify him as governor. His commander-like position is also evidenced by the election of the Zurich citizen Ludwig Hager as conductor of the Johanniterkommende Bubikon, which the commander of Basel Ulrich von Sternenfels and Conrad Vach made together.

The next commander in Basel, Hermann Schenck zu Schweinsberg (1557 to 1572), moved to Rheinfelden. Commander Wiprecht von Rosenbach, who followed him, also held office in Rheinfelden. There were only conductors in Basel. In contrast, commander Hermann von Andlau seems to have resided in Basel at least for a time. In 1608 he had the knight's house in Basel refurbished.

The following commendators had both religious houses administered by conductors and probably stayed only occasionally in their comers.

The visitation reports 1495 and 1541

The 1495 report on Basel is mutilated, some pages are missing. According to the rest of the report, the commander had spent 970 guilders on repairs to buildings. He used 280 guilders to repay debts for which 14 guilders had to be paid annually until now. In addition, he was able to grant a loan of 1,100 guilders, which brought in an annual interest of 50 guilders. He further issued a loan of 140 guilders yielded annual interest of 7 guilders. The amount of the response money to be paid for the center of the order in Rhodes is missing, but for 1501 it was newly set at 80 guilders.

In 1541 the Kommende Basel received income

Because of the rampant plague in Rheinfelden, the visitation report was also made for these comedians in Basel. The total annual net profit of the two comers was 371 guilders, one shilling and one pfennig.

The relationship to the city

The privileges of the order (exemption, own jurisdiction, tax exemption and right of asylum) were of course not welcomed by the city. In time you forgot them too. In 1450, Johannes Loesel, Grand Prior of the Order of St. John in the Order of Alemannia and then commander of the House of Order in Basel, complained that the city disregarded the Johanniter's right of asylum and persecuted criminals right into the sanctuary. The council, for its part, accused the Johanniter of giving refuge to criminals and abusing the right of asylum. They demanded a copy of the relevant religious privileges from him.

In 1452, Basel tried to impose a tax on all clergymen to repair the damage caused by the destruction of 1444. The (Grand) Prior Johann Loesel, who then resided in Wädenswil, appealed against this. He pointed out the tax privileges of the order and pointed out that the Order of St. John should not be treated like other orders. The Ottomans had only recently (1440 and 1444) attacked Rhodes, which had thrown the order into debt. The last war also caused damage to the Basler Kommende, which the Kommende would have had to spend 1,500 guilders to repair.

Reformation and modern times

With the introduction of the Reformation in Basel, all monasteries and monasteries were abolished. The institutions were not simply integrated into the municipal property or sold, but continued to be run by secular carers. On February 9, 1529, the Johanniterkommende also received a secular nurse.

The 1798 repertory

The “Repertory on all Cabranes or camp books and Beraine of the high knightly Order of St. John”, published by Karl Herrlich in 1880, German grand priory houses and commends. Completed at the end of 1798 ”shows possession or income for Basel from the following villages in the triangle of Germany, France and Switzerland. Interestingly, (most) places in France and Switzerland were given the additional designation over the Rhine. The repertory was written from Heitersheim's point of view and not with reference to the situation of the future.

The end of the Johanniterkommende

The last commander Franz Bernhard Eberhard Truchsess von Rheinfelden sold the building complex on December 17, 1806 with the knowledge and approval of Grand Prior Ignaz Balthasar Rinck von Baldenstein and the chapter in Heitersheim to the district governor Dagobert Gysendörfer, obviously to prevent expropriation. Before that, on August 27, 1806, the Kommenden Leuggern -Klingnau and Rheinfelden had already been abolished by the Aargau government, and the estate had been inventoried.

Buildings

There are no more remains above ground of the Johanniterkommende's buildings in Basel. The commander's building with the church and the cemetery around it were a large building complex, after all, Emperor Sigismund was able to live there for a few months during the Basel Council.

In 1915, Wilhelm Staheli described the main building as a rectangular, unadorned building with a high roof that stood parallel to the banks of the Rhine. On a basement with Gothic girders and which was illuminated with a few small windows facing the Rhine, there was a hall that was at ground level on the land side. The hall had a wooden ceiling from the 15th century. At that time, a stone tablet was walled in in the hallway, which, next to the coats of arms of the Order of St. John and that of Andlau, had the inscription that Commander Hermann von Andlau had built the house in 1608. The tablet is now in the Historical Museum in Basel. The Basler Kommende building was finally demolished in 1929.

The church had a short rectangular nave and a slightly recessed choir with a 5/8 end. The longitudinal axis was oriented towards the Rhine. The choir had seven high Gothic windows with tracery in the upper part. Buttresses were attached outside. It probably dates from the 14th century.

With the introduction of the Reformation, the Johanniterkirche was closed and began to fall apart. In 1597 the tower was supposed to be demolished by order of the council. However, the Johanniter do not seem to have followed this request. The depiction of Merian 1615 shows the church still with the tower. It is likely to have been torn down in the next few decades. In 1680 the ship followed up to the letter due to its dilapidation. The choir was closed with a new wall. Finally, around 1775, the choir was also demolished; parts of the vault had previously collapsed. A number of commendators had been buried in the church. The epitaphs of these commendators have been lost, and drawings of some still exist.
