Carmelite Monastery of Querfurt
The Carmelite Monastery (also Karmeliterkloster , Karmel ) was a monastery of the Order of the Carmelites in Querfurt in what is now Saxony-Anhalt from the 14th to the 16th century.
location
The monastery was located in the former Neuendorf settlement outside the inner city wall and inside the outer city wall between the Döcklitzer and Steinweger Tor. Today the Philipp Müller School is located there .
history
In 1358 the Benedictine monastery Marienzell acquired a courtyard on this site shortly after the outer city wall was completed. This was initially used as the cloister of the monastery.
It is not known when a Carmelite monastery was established here; it was first mentioned as existing in 1401. The monastery maintained a hospital on the river bank.
It was probably dissolved in the 1550s, but in 1561 it no longer existed during a church visit.
Further use
The buildings burned down in 1619 and 1678, but were used as living space until 1754. Then they were completely removed. In 1889 an elementary school was opened at this point, which is still in use today.
