history
The monastery is said to have been founded under Bishop Rudolf von Halberstadt as an episcopal own monastery before 1141. The first provost came from the Stötterlingenburg monastery .
Since the patronage of the village church consecrated to St. Andrew belonged to the Ilsenburg monastery, there are often arguments between the two monasteries.
The number of convent members was set at six canons in 1143, the provost always being from the Ilsenburg monastery.
The Augustinian Canons Abbenrode had little land ownership and played only a minor story in the Halberstadt diocese . Between 1243 and 1252 the monastery was converted into a Cistercian convent. In the Peasants' War in 1525, it was largely destroyed and completely abolished 1554th
No remnants of the old monastery have been preserved in the townscape. 78 documents from the Abbenrode monastery from the period 1150 to 1727 are now managed in the Saxony-Anhalt State Archives in Magdeburg .
