history
The Carthusian monastery “ Domus Misericodiae Dei ” (“Mercy of God”) was founded in 1396 by citizens of the city of Frankfurt (Oder) in front of the city walls, on the road to Guben on the banks of the Oder in the area of today's Carthausplatz. The first monks settled in Frankfurt the following year.
In 1432 the Charterhouse was destroyed by the Hussites . Eleven monks are attested for 1506. The monastery owned three vineyards, employed a master wine maker and ran an extensive wine trade. There was also a brandy distillery as well as a beer brewery. The monastery owned the villages of Madlitz , Döbberin, Niederjesar, Arensdorf, Unterlindow, Jacobsdorf , Briesen and Brieskow as well as the Große Heide. In 1534 the monastery was visited . In 1538 the monastery had a vineyard and the villages Brieskow and Lindow as well as the fish-rich Brieskower See.
After the Reformation was introduced in the Mark Brandenburg in 1539 , Elector Joachim II of Brandenburg handed over all goods of the Carthusian monastery to the University of Frankfurt in 1540 . The university received the monastery library, all real estate and property. The remaining monks had lifelong right of residence in the monastery, but they were not allowed to accept novices . The last prior of the monastery was Peter Golitz . The last monk died in 1568.
The monastery buildings were used as a quarry. The professors of Frankfurt University were supplied with the fruit from the monastery gardens. In 1631 the remains of the monastery were burned down during the siege by the Swedes .
Files about the monastery are in the Frankfurt (Oder) city archive and in the Brandenburg State Main Archive . There are no visible remains of the monastery.
