Carmelite Monastery Dahme

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Monastery of the Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel was a convent of the Carmelites in Dahme in today's state of Brandenburg later than the 15th and 16th centuries.

location

The monastery was located in the south of the medieval city between the main street and the city wall. The monastery church has been preserved in a baroque, rebuilt form.

history

When the monastery was founded is unknown. An alleged first mention of 1304 is questionable. In this one Hans von Dahme donated a mill and a Hufe Landes to the monastery. The document is only available in a copy from the 16th century, a Hans von Dahme is otherwise not known for this time and for the next 170 years there is no further information about an alleged monastery.

It certainly existed in the middle of the 15th century, because in 1475 a date in Jüterbog was considered by a foundation of a local citizen. In 1506 the Lubusz citizen Girger Pickeler donated timber to the monastery for holding an eternal mass for his salvation and that of his wife.

It was not mentioned during the first church visit in the city in 1536, and in 1543 a prior was the best man at the wedding of the evangelical provost of Luckau. Soon afterwards the monastery must have been dissolved, because in 1564 the evangelical archbishop of Magdeburg Sigismund handed over the complex, which had been abandoned for a long time, to the city after a fire.

Further use

Baroque hospital church

It was not until 1732 to 1734 that the destroyed monastery church was rebuilt in the Baroque style, from 1734 to 1746 hospital buildings and an orphanage were built. A brewery was built in 1811.

In 1924, 25 small pensioners' apartments were built into the western part of the church, which in 1998 were rendered unusable by a lightning strike. The Gasthaus Klostergewölbe has been located there since 2012 .

Structures and economy

In 1506 a convention of 30 members was named, including two priors, a custodian and a reading master . He was also Provincial of the Order of Saxony.

When it was handed over in 1564, buildings, fields, meadows, mills, interest on money, leases and other uses belonged to the monastery property. In Jüterbog there was a termination house in 1475.
