location
The monastery was in today's southwestern old town , in the area of today's Old Cemetery , a green area between today's Heilig-Geist-Kirche and Main . In the east, the monastery bordered the fishing settlement of Fischerrain, which already existed at that time .
history
The monastery consecrated to St. Nicholas was built in the second third of the 14th century by the Schweinfurt citizen Peter Esel, who had acquired the hospital outside the walls on the southwestern edge of the imperial city in order to build a canon monastery there with the support of the Premonstratensians from the Veßra monastery . His widow then founded the Carmelite monastery around 1366/67. The monastery was integrated into the city expansion carried out from 1437 to 1502 and dissolved in the middle of the 16th century , and the monastery complex was handed over to the imperial city of Schweinfurt. Nothing has been preserved from the monastery complex. Later, the so-called Old Cemetery was built on the Schultesstrasse on the site of St. Nicholas and was used until 1874.
present
Today the old cemetery is a public park.
