The listed monastery Dobbertin near Goldberg in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is located on a peninsula on the north bank of Lake Dobbertiner and is connected to the village of Dobbertin by the monastery park . It was one of the largest nunneries of the Benedictine order in Mecklenburg. After the conversion into a noble women's monastery in 1572 , the current state monastery with its newly formed monastery office became one of the largest and richest commercial enterprises in Mecklenburg until its dissolution in 1918.
Today people with intellectual disabilities and mental illness live there. "Ladies' houses" that have been renovated in accordance with historical monuments, newly built workshops for the handicapped and a school for individual coping with life in the renovated cloister buildings characterize the current establishment of the diaconal work . The Dobbertin Monastery in its entirety is one of the best preserved monastery complexes in Mecklenburg and will celebrate its 800th anniversary in 2020.
history
Benedictine monastery (OSB)
Only a few sources have come down to us from the historical beginnings of Dobbertin Monastery. The monastery was probably founded without a foundation deed or one was lost at an early stage. The date of the actual founding day has not been recorded. Whether it was March 21st ( Benedict's Day as the anniversary of the death of Benedict of Nursia ) is an unprovable legend, but July 4th has been mentioned for centuries.
The first document from August 28, 1227 black Munche ordinis Benedicti , which has not been preserved in the original since 1748 but is the most important document for its founding history, is only available in copy. In it, the Obodrites brothers Johann and Nikolaus confirm and expand the possessions that their grandfather Borwin I , their father Borwin II and his brother Nikolaus von Gadebusch had transferred to the monks of the Benedictine order as founding outfitters . The monastery must have been founded between 1219 and 1225. As early as 1219, Borwin I had given the Benedictine monastery of St. Maria im Sonnenkamp zu Neukloster the village of Techutin ( Techentin ) near Dobrotin ( Dobbertin ) and Golz ( Goldberg ) when it was founded . Due to the great distance, the conversion of the pagan reversion in the area around the later bailiwick of Goldberg was difficult. Therefore, around 1220, Borwin I founded a special monastery at Jawir See, today's Dobbertiner See , in which black monks of the Benedictine order are said to be . The Dobbertiner monastery was the oldest field monastery of the Benedictine order in the state of Werle and the only Benedictine monastery in the diocese of Schwerin and in Mecklenburg. The bishop of Schwerin was in charge of the monastery and later nunnery .
The patrons as patron saints of the monastery were the Virgin Mary , Johannes Evangelist (1274, 1360) and for a time Quirinus of Siscia (1337, 1360). In the parabolic seal of the monastery provost Arnold from 1302 the Virgin Mary is standing with the Christ child on her left arm and Quirin can be seen in the provost Dietrich's 1351.
The first monks had been sent to Dobbertin by Abbot Christopherus of Stade's Marienkloster from his convent . The order member Theodoricus Thedelinus prepositus fratum de Dobrotin was named as the first provost in 1227 . In his function as the abbot's deputy, he conducted the legal transactions in the monastery, sealed documents and concluded contracts. An abbot is not recorded for Dobbertin.
In 1231 Johann I (Werle) transferred the rights and income to the church in Goldberg to the Dobbertiner monastery as a replacement for the loss of the annual grain tithe promised by his father . The monastery provost Odalricus also received the archdeaconate right of the Goldberg church in 1231 . Generous donations from the lords of Werle and foundations increased the core holdings of the monastery around Dobbertin. In addition to the villages of Dobbertin, Dobbin with the Dobbiner See , Jellen with the Langhagener See and Lohmen with the Garder See , there were annual grain taxes from Goldberg.
After conflicts between the monks and the abbot Albert in the Marienkloster zu Stade , the Dobbertiner monks withdrew to Stade. However, according to the oldest building finds, they left the nuns of the same order in Dobbertin already solid wooden buildings with sunk cellar pits as apartments and a small prayer house. It is assumed that through the mediation of the Marienkloster zu Stade and with the assistance of the Archbishop of Bremen Gerhard II. Benedictine nuns were sent from the Zeven monastery to Dobbertin between 1231 and 1234 . But it was not until 1243 that Abbot Dietrich and the convent of Stade Abbey testified that they sold their property there with all rights to Dobbertin for 60 Marks Lübisch.
Real estate
In its early years, the Dobbertin monastery had already acquired properties in the Röbel region and in the Turne region in the direction of Pomerania and Brandenburg in addition to the monastic core area around Dobbertin . These were referred to as the front and rear sand props, the administrator based in Röbel as sand props. Zielow , Krümmel , Schwarz Diemitz and Lärz were the first sand propsteid villages in 1237.
Benedictine Monastery (OSB)
Documentary evidence of the date of the conversion to the Benedictine nunnery is missing. What is striking here, however, are the similarities between the Dobbertin and Rühn monasteries with the founding of the Rühn Benedictine monastery. Archbishop Gerhard II of Bremen confirmed on May 14, 1233 in Stade the foundation of the Rühn nunnery, which was started by Bishop Berno zu Schwerin and continued by Bishop Brunward . In 1237 Thedelinus was named the first provost of the Rühn monastery. Between 1227 and 1231 Thedelinus was provost in the men's convent in Dobbertin and was mentioned there as a documentary witness. In terms of time it would fit that, after the monks' convent withdrew from Dobbertin, a proven leader as provost ran the newly built convent of the same order. The two monasteries Dobbertin and Rühn later also shared property such as the use of the Holzendorfer See , had the same privileges and were visited by the same visitors during the Reformation . The descriptions of ownership and confirmations of the Dobbertin monastery ruler by Niklaus von Werle as Prince of Rostock in 1237 testify to the further upswing of Dobbertin as a nunnery .
According to the constitution of the Benedictine monasteries, the provost as head of the women's monastery and the prioress as head of the convent were responsible for secular and spiritual matters and the administration of the monastery . In Dobbertin also called "Priorissa", her deputy was the Unterpriorin, also called Subpriorin. She was responsible for managing the economy. As in the Zeven monastery, the Dobbertine nuns did not have an abbess . In the medieval documents, only provosts and prioresses are mentioned by name of people and life in the nunnery. The provost, also called prepositus or prior, assumed the leading position and was called dominus ("lord").
The important position of the provost in relation to the prioress is evident in Dobbertin in the fact that the names of Dobbertin provosts have been handed down since the monastery was first mentioned. A prioress by the name of Gertrud was mentioned for the first time after 60 years, then the prioress Mechthild only in 1337.
The provost, as the nuns' spiritual father, was also the legal administrator of the nunnery and acted in all economic matters together with the prioress and the convent. He signed and sealed documents, without him no legal transactions, no purchase or sale, no exchange and no pledging could take place. The administration and protection of the monastic possessions and goods as well as the representation of the monastery to the outside world were also part of the provost's duties. But there should also have been forged documents in the nunnery. Provost Johann already had his own seal in 1300 and his successor, Provost Arnold, in 1302 .
With the conversion of Dobbertin into a nunnery, the Benedictine nuns received the right of free choice of provost and prioress from the Schwerin Bishop Brunward on October 27, 1234 , but with the indication that “this person, who was unanimously elected by the convent, leads the church in spiritual and secular matters could ". The supervision of the nunnery was the responsibility of the Bishop of Schwerin.
The Archdeaconate over the churches in Goldberg , Lohmen , Ruchow , Karcheez and Woserin was awarded to the Dobbertiner church provost Ulrich . The property ownership of the monastery grew particularly quickly, as can be seen from the deeds of ownership a few years later from 1237 to 1397. After Bishop Brunwards death in 1238, Wendish nuns are said to have come to Dobberin Monastery from Sonnenkamp Monastery.
For unknown reasons, in 1249 the convents of the Benedictine convents Dobbertin and Krevese in the Altmark came to a dispute over the sandy propstei village of Lärz , because both monasteries owned half of the village. Provost Stephan von Röbel settled the dispute between Provost Heinrich von Krevese and Provost Vulrad (full councilor) von Dobbertin without trial. The village was awarded to the Dobbertin monastery and Krevese monastery received compensation of 30 marks of Slavic pfennigs. Since both Benedictine monasteries shared the same patron saints, the Virgin Mary and Quirin, venerated and shared property, it can be assumed that Krevese also participated in Dobbertin's conversion into a women's monastery. Because Krevese was founded by Count Albrecht von Osterburg before 1200 .
From the few surviving archives on the inner development of the nunnery, we learn that in 1263 Pope Urban IV placed the monastery and its property under his protection.
On June 13, 1288, the Schwerin bishop Hermann confirmed the foundation of a hospital in the village of Dobbertin. With the support of Pastor Detlev von Wackerbart from Lüdershagen , the house with a heated infirmary was to be built for the sick nuns. In addition to the Dobbertiner Provost Henricue (Heinrich), Provost Gozwin (Gottschalk) from the Benedictine convent Neukloster and Provost Dietrich from the Benedictine convent Rühn were also present.
On June 6th, 1309 Pope Clemens V in Avignon confirmed the foundation and granting of the hospital in Dobbertin by the pastor Detlev Wackerbart von Lüdershagen and the knight Detlev Wackerbart . Pope John XXII. took the nuns' convent and the entire possessions of the Dobbertin monastery under its protection on October 23, 1333 and on March 12, 1360 18 bishops in Avignon granted the visitors of the Dobbertin monastery indulgence from the penalties. Disputes had to be settled again and again in the monastery. This is reported in a document dated August 2, 1418, which Prof. Tilmann Schmidt from the Historical Institute of the University of Rostock found in the Vatican Secret Archives in Rome . After Provost Nikolaus Meztorp died in 1417, the nuns asked Pope Martin V for an ecclesiastical judge for disputes in which the monastic convent was constantly drawn. The Pope decided: It should be done for ten years.
Little is known about the life of the nuns and their social origins, but everyday life was strictly regulated. The recurring services such as choir prayers and convention masses determined the daily routine. The records of the Dobbertine nunnery, which are in the Danish Imperial Archives in Copenhagen , contain registers of the nuns and prioresses from 1491 to 1560. Up to 30 nuns are said to have stayed in the monastery. The majority of the virgins came from aristocratic families established in the region. Through the connection with the Mecklenburg nobility, not only the reputation but also the prosperity of the monastery increased, the prebends increased through the dowries of the nuns of nobility. The possessions and acquisitions were so numerous that listing them would fill pages. Particularly noteworthy are the many are Luebeck and Wismar councilors , the daughters as nuns after Dobbertin sent.
Some of the surviving medieval altar figures and individual paintings from the old monastery church have been in the Schwerin State Museum since 1834 . Including a carved head of a grave Christ mid 15th century, an almost 60 cm high carved oak Holy St. Anne , the second half of the 15th century and the three of Olives disciple John, James and Peter to 1430. These are in the medieval collection in Güstrower Schloss issued . The Dobbertiner grave Christ is possibly related to a candle donation to the provost Nicolaus Behringer and the prioress Ermegarde Oldenborghe. Among the witnesses on the document dated August 30, 1454 is Peter Kassow, the virgins' confessor.
Since the observance of the rules of the order was "severely neglected" even in the Benedictine monastery in the old town of Kolberg before the beginning of the Reformation , in 1521 the Schwerin canon Ulrich Malchow, as administrator of the Schwerin diocese, had two nuns with an exemplary lifestyle travel from the Dobbertin monastery to Kolberg. They should carefully inform the nuns there who are “ignorant of the rules of the order”. The Camminer bishop Martin Carith from Kolberg sent two Kolberg nuns to the Dobbertin monastery.
Up to the Reformation, 44 provosts and 21 prioresses could be proven in the almost 340 years as a nunnery. The grave slabs of confessor Bernd Holle (1382) and the canon canon Nikolaus Mestrop (1417) still stand in the southern cloister today. The Dobbertiner provost Johannes Thun became bishop of Schwerin from 1504 , provost Heinrich Möller was one of the few prelates to sign the rural union in 1523 and provost Bartholdus Moller died in 1530 as rector of the University of Rostock .
reformation
In Mecklenburg, too, the Reformation was last carried out in the women's monasteries and should prove to be extremely complicated. Especially in the Benedictine monastery in Dobbertin the dukes and their visitors encountered the most stubborn resistance. In 1549, the state parliament decided to introduce the Lutheran denomination in Mecklenburg at the Sagsdorfer Bridge near Sternberg .
In 1552, Duke Johann Albrecht I ordered the Reformation of the duchies, which had hitherto been half-heartedly pursued, to be carried out more energetically. The Dobbertiner Prioress Ypolita Gans (Hippolita Gans zu Putlitz) and Unterpriorin Ermegard Stralendorp (Irmgard von Strahlendorff ) immediately complained to the Duke with the whole convention that they had been deprived of all worship for years . This is the fault of the evil Predicante who has a wife and children. What was meant here was the pastor Andreas Eberlein, a clumsy person who could not show any reason for the Christian doctrine and always passed the exam badly, almost old and indolent, whom the virgins did not want at all ... The concern of the Dobbertin nuns was not unjustified, because in March 1552 the abolition of the first women's monasteries in the duchies began. The order was issued to the Dobbertiner visitators to provide the virgins with a capable, learned preacher who could instruct them in God's Word .
Visit from 1557
The first attempt at reform in Dobbertin took place in 1556, but left little impression on the nuns. You can read about it in Duke Ulrich's diary : 1556, Nov. 2. On the same day I abolished the Dobbertin abottery at the Nuhnen. But when he intervened personally, he only met stubborn resistance from the 30 nuns. At the Güstrow state parliament on April 10, 1557, the visitors were instructed by the dukes Albrecht and Ulrich to expel all monks and old-believing preachers from the country.
The visit to the Dobbertiner monastery church and its nine patronage churches in Goldberg , Mestlin , Lohmen , Kirch Kogel , Sietow , Lärz , Schwarz and Zidderich had already begun on March 22, 1557. The visitation of the monastery began on March 24, 1557 at 10 a.m. in the Reventer, the meeting room of the monastery, and continued on March 26. The prioress Elisabeth von Hobe made some concessions, but an acceptance of the Reformation was out of the question. Thereupon the visitors immediately took action, removed the annoying pictures, some of which were plastered and decorated, from the choir and brought them to the confessional, secured by a lock and seal.
The key was given to court marshal Jürgen von Below , who had been the monastery captain and administrator in Dobbertin since 1557. The visitors left it with these half-hearted measures. The commission felt too weak for a complete abolition of the Abgottery in the choir and in the nuns' cells . So the nuns persisted with the old rite and the complaints about the nuns to Dobberin disobedient and godlessness soon reached the dukes in Güstrow . When the visitors returned to Dobbertin on September 3, 1557 with the monastery captain Jürgen von Below, they were not allowed into the monastery. The conversations were held for five days through the latticed window of the office. On September 7th, the land rider had to climb the tower as a gendarme and take the clapper out of the bell . After that, the negotiations were broken off and the nuns called the visitors public church breakers. because they would have had the bells removed without authorization.
Equipped with stricter ducal instructions, the visitors entered on September 17th and had masons wall up the upper choir and break a door from the cloister into the church. After big hewls, puffing and shouting in front of the choir stairs, the nuns forcibly entered the choir like mad, mad, tholl and thoricht , procured the prayer and hymn books that had been taken from them and pelted the masons with them. The princely servants were also put to flight with stones, pourings of water and blows. During the night the nuns had robes and measuring instruments secretly put on a boat. On the Dobbertiner See the boat overturned and the wooden bailiff drowned. In the morning, the monastery captain Jürgen von Below and the kitchen master Johann Graetzen drove out onto the lake and brought some of the cargo back. On September 30th, the visitors tried for the last time and again stood in front of the locked monastery gate. Even in the next five years nothing should change in the Dobbertin monastery.
Visit from 1562
However, Duke Johann Albrecht from Güstrow did not give up. On September 26, 1562 he came to the nunnery in Dobbertin with his court entourage and the visitors. In his personal diary it is noted: 1562, Sept. 26th, visits the nuns. 1562, Sept. 27. Disputed with Junckfrawen at Dobbertin. After the new statutes had been read out, the nuns were threatened with being driven out of the monastery if they were not accepted. The nuns wanted to defend themselves immediately, also against the new monastery captain Joachim zu Kleinow, with stones and clubs. On September 29th - the day of the personal hearing of the 26 nuns - there was already in the early hours of the morning fights between Catharina von Pressentin and the evangelical nuns Margareta von Wangelin and Elisabeth von Hagenow . In the minutes one read of 14 obedient , 11 disobedient and one sick nun. When the disobedient were about to be loaded onto the ten wagons waiting in the cloister courtyard, a strange spectacle occurred. The stubborn nuns picked up stones and sticks with which they beat the ducal servants. Then they walked out of the monastery and through the village to the noble estate in Suckwitz , where relatives of Dorothea von Grabow lived , singing Latin church chants. The wagons followed, but unused by the nuns.
On September 30, 1562, the dukes appointed Margaretha von Wangelin as the first Lutheran prioress for the dismissed prioress Elisabeth von Hobe and the sub- prioress Catharina von Pressentin . On the morning of October 1st, the remaining 14 nuns appeared in the Reventer to read the new monastery rules; but in the afternoon for the exam, apart from the new prioress, now called Domina as headmistress , all the other nuns were excused under questionable pretexts. In the report of the monastery captain Joachim zu Kleinow of October 20, 1562 on the monastery visitaion carried out, one can read: The dullen nuns Krich was, i.e. the Buren Krich, sed tamen fulmen ex vitro. (Like the Peasants' War, the Mad Nuns War was only a brief flare-up). For the dukes and visitors, the monastery was now considered to be reformed, but it would take another decade to complete.
Visit from 1569
As early as 1564, many of the obdurate and expelled nuns had returned to the monastery. In 1565 the dukes ordered a renewed visitation. This failed, however, because the deputies of the knight and landscape did not appear. It was to be assumed that some of the noble nuns came from their families. It was noted that the failure of the visitation even strengthened the stubborn youngsters' courage to blaspheme more God and to suppress the pious . Anna von Bülow also secretly returned to the monastery in 1567.
At the beginning of October 1569, the visitors came back to Dobbertin and found that the old Catholic order had been almost completely restored in the monastery. The elderly nuns refused to read the German Bible and Luther's catechism and disregarded the Protestant worship service. They even took in two virgins of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher and, despite the prohibition, novices , clothed them and took their vows. Under the protest of the nuns, the evangelical-minded Elisabeth von Hagenow was chosen as the new prioress and referred to as Domina for the first time . Margaretha von Kerberg , a remaining nun, was appointed to the sub- priority .
The visitation commission of 1569 could not achieve anything else and there was no one in the duchy for a long time who was ready to take on the vacant position of monastery captain. It was not until the beginning of 1570 that the Güstrow court marshal Joachim von der Lühe could be won over to the office following a special negotiation .
Visit from 1570
On March 13, 1570, the visitors returned to Dobbertin and found that even among the pious and evangelical-minded virgins there were forbidden newly clad nuns. As a deterrent, they had Meta Krantz, who immigrated from the monastery of Stift zum Heiligengrabe, expelled from the monastery with immediate effect because of her disobedience, which was her hero . On March 16, the visitors entrusted the new monastery governor Joachim von der Lühe and pastor Joachim Krüger with the implementation of the church order. Success did not materialize, because as early as May 1570 the Dobbertiner nuns continued to live according to the old rite and the old chants. The 1572 Reformation and Order of the Jungfraw Monasteries. How it should be kept in it with Christian teaching, the use of the venerable sacrament, daily chants and other Christian exercises as monastery order received little attention in Dobbertin. With the transfer of the Dobbertin monastery to the knighthood and landscape in 1573, the dukes lost interest in the monastery reformation in Dobbertin.
Visit from 1578
After eight years another visit, probably the last, took place in Dobbertin Monastery. On March 17, 1578, the visitors came to Dobbertin for just one day, including Jürgen von Below, Johann von Linstow and the monastery captain Joachim von der Lühe. Hardly anything had changed over the years, the strict morals continued to be neglected and the lack of discipline and order would last for years. Only with the confirmation of the revised Dobbertiner monastery rules by Duke Ulrich on May 3, 1578 and their handover to the monastery maidens on March 10, 1579, the Catholic rites and ceremonies were gradually neglected.
The 21-year resistance only ended with the extinction of the older indomitable nuns. This process was unique in history in Mecklenburg as Der dulle Nonnen Krich . After the introduction of the Protestant church order in Mecklenburg, the nuns could not resist in the long run.
The state monastery
State monastery with monastery office
On June 4, 1572, Duke Johann Albrecht and Duke Ulrich agreed to the surrender of the Mecklenburg monasteries to the knighthood and landscape at the Sternberg state parliament on Judenberg. According to Article 4 of the Sternberger Assekuration of July 2, 1572, the Dobbertin Monastery was designated as an evangelical monastery for noble women "for the Christian upbringing of domestic virgins, if they would like to enter it". The cession of the monastery was to take place on October 15, 1572, but the actual transfer did not take place until 1573.
With the conversion of the nunnery into a secular women's monastery, a new administrative organization with fixed rules for the preservation and increase of the monastery property was required. In place of the provost , who before the Reformation also handled the administrative business of the monastery and lived outside the monastery, the monastery captain now took over as managing director. Over the years he was also referred to as the bailiff, administrator or monastery head of the monastery office. Over the decades, 34 monastery captains and 59 provisional agents from the oldest Mecklenburg noble families headed the monastery office. The monastery captain had a provisional supervisor from the Duchy of Schwerin and the Duchy of Güstrow and the kitchen master was in charge of the monastery office. The provisional members were elected to the state parliaments for four years and the monastery governor for six years. They all had to belong to the Mecklenburg nobility.
A master chef and a syndicus were at the side of the monastery captain in the exercise of official business . The kitchen master as a tax officer was responsible for all income and expenses as well as accounting and the monastery treasury. The Syndicus, an independent legal advisor, worked as a judge at the monastery district court. There were plenty of legal proceedings and trials, from brawls to murder and manslaughter, from insubordination and horse theft to fornication and "fornication" to witch trials with death sentences. Local police power was incumbent on the land rider. The four prison cells can still be visited today under the roof of the former brewery and distillery. Between 1594 and 1682, 25 witch trials were carried out with the Dobbertiner Sandpropstei in the entire monastery area , 15 witch trials with nine death sentences took place in Dobbertin.
The extensive monastery properties located south of the Müritz and referred to as the front and rear sand propstei were administered by a secular official, the sand propst , who lived in Röbel / Müritz .
The office secretary with actuary, the forest inspector and the clerks also belonged to the monastery administration. The simple officials included the village mayors, pastors of the patronage churches, sextons, teachers, doctors and pharmacists, official messengers, foresters, wood guards, officials, station hunters, park guards, night watchmen, postmen, gardeners, bakers and building yard workers. In the monastery office there was also a master baker, master mason and master carpenter.
In the centuries that followed, the monastery office developed not only into a flourishing business enterprise, but also into a decisive shaper for the entire region. At the end of the 19th century, the property still included 25,122 hectares of land, meadows, forests, lakes and at times 132 villages, 26 monastery estates, 17 leaseholds, 12 forest farms, 19 parish churches, 27 schools, 16 mills, 13 village jugs , six brickworks and three lime kilns Construction yards, three glassworks , tar ovens , sawmills , forges , dairies and the monastery construction yard in Dobbertin. The monastery office also regulated poor and sick care, in Dobbertin they had to look after three poor houses, a hospital with 14 beds, a pharmacy, and a school for children. One of the main tasks was the leasing and management of the monastery properties, villages, monastery courtyards, blacksmiths, village jugs, mills and dairies. In addition there were the forests, hunting with guardianship and the lakes with the granting of fishing rights. The monastery office was also responsible for the construction and maintenance of buildings, the construction of roads and roads, electrification, the post office and the telephone in the monastery villages.
Monastery villages in the administrative area with the Sandpropstei were Altenhagen , Bossow , Darze , Diemitz , Dobbertin , Dobbin , Garden , Gerdshagen , Groß Breesen , Jellen , Kläden , Kleesten , Klein Upahl , Kirch Kogel , Lähnwitz , Lärz , Lenzen , Lexow , Lohmen , Mestlin , Mühlenhof , Neuhof, Nienhagen , Oldenstorf , Ruest , Roez , Rum Kogel , Schwarz , Schwarzer Hof, Schwinz , Sehlsdorf , Sietow , Spendin and Vimfow .
The annual account books, which are meticulously kept by the chef, show the eventful history of the monastery as well as that of the 36 monastery captains over the past 370 years. Such was Joachim von Bassewitz on Levetzow after his term from 1588 to 1601 as a monastery Captain provost in Schwerin, was replaced there in 1610 for incompetence. From 1612 to 1622, the Oberhofmarschall Joachim von Oldenburg was head of the monastery on Gremmelin . He worked at the Imperial Court of Justice and then at the Mecklenburg court in Güstrow with Duke Ulrich . According to the poor house register, Joachim von Oldenburg had a poor house set up for six poor subjects in the Peltzer house in Dobbertin as early as 1612 .
The privy councilor and president of the Mecklenburg court and regional court under Duke Johann Albrecht II in Güstrow , Paschen von der Lühe auf Thelkow near Ticino , took over the management of the monastery office in 1635. In 1640 he sent the 19-year-old Dobbertin pastor Enoch Zander to the Swedish Queen Christina in Stockholm to obtain a protection and umbrella letter for the Dobbertin monastery. In his tenure from 1709 to 1744, Joachim Lütke von Bassewitz did a great job; because in these years he had 17 new “ladies' houses” built with stone roofs. He covered part of the expenses by selling wood from the Schwinzer Heide and the guest freedom for the nobility passing through was reduced to two nights. With his first wife Agnes Hedwig, geb. von Krakewitz had eleven sons and nine daughters. The grave slab is in today's monastery shop.
As Holstein's Prime Minister , Privy Councilor and Oberhofmarschall , Henning Friedrich Graf von Bassewitz was in Prebberede in 1714 and 1724 in St. Petersburg with Tsar Peter the Great and in 1725 with Tsarina Katharina I. Back in Mecklenburg state politics in 1733, he was elected monastery captain in 1746 Dobbertin, where he died in 1749.
1730 the deeds were the 1721 selected as Provisor Jobst Hinrich von Bulow on Woserin , with his, the 1744-1746 provisionally held the administration of the monastery Office Glass War and the messy preacher election in the history of the monastery one. In this way he raised money for the restoration of the nuns' gallery in the monastery church, which was carried out in 1747. When the preacher was elected in 1738, he had the election protocols falsified, simply added 15 votes and the court preacher Christian Behm became pastor. But since the ladies of the monastery did not want his preferred candidate, the state parliament, the law faculty and the Reichsgerichtshof had to deal with this operational nonsense for four years .
The monastery captain Dietrich von der Osten on Karstorf near Schlitz Castle was heavily indebted during his tenure in 1762 and in 1768 he was wanted in all Mecklenburg because of fraudulent bankruptcy . Moved to the fortress in Dömitz in 1771 , he was pardoned after three years in prison with expulsion from the country to Rügen , which at that time still belonged to Sweden.
From 1836 Carl Peter Johann was Baron von Le Fort auf Boek on the eastern Müritz monastery captain. As a merchant he did an excellent job in the administration of the monastery office, so that he was re-elected as monastery captain three times for six years in the state parliaments until 1854. Le Fort raised money to build the church, created the park and left well-organized finances. From 1844 onwards, his sons received lessons from the private tutor and Low German poet John Brinckman . When Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II of Mecklenburg-Schwerin from Malchow Monastery came to visit Dobbertin Monastery on August 13, 1853 , Le Fort and his family went to see relatives in Holland. The guided tour of the monastery was carried out by the 74-year-old Domina Hedwig von Quitzow , after which the Grand Duke and his entourage immediately traveled on to Schwerin.
On December 2, 1869, at the age of 35, Christian Joachim Hugo von Bernstorff was elected as the new head of the monastery in the Mecklenburg state parliament in Sternberg . He was responsible for the administration of the monastery from 1870 to 1882. During his time, restorations were carried out on the village churches in Lohmen , Sietow and Kirch Kogel .
From 1882 to 1894 the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was chamberlain and district administrator Wilhelm von Oertzen on Lübbersdorf monastery captain. During his tenure he was particularly committed to improving the entire school system in the monastery villages. According to his school regulations issued on August 13, 1886 for the localities, regular school attendance had to be ensured. The head of the monastery and the pastor were in charge of the supervision, assisted by the village schoolteacher and the teacher, who also jointly determined the curriculum, the textbooks and the teaching materials. There were plenty of holidays, for example at Christmas, Easter, Whitsun and during the grain and potato harvest.
Hellmuth Otto Maria von Prollius auf Stubbendorf , the last monastery captain elected in the state parliament in Sternberg in 1917, was deposed by the new state government on November 1, 1918 after only one year in office due to the turmoil of the revolution. He was allowed to continue his official business until he was deposed again on July 7, 1919 by the Minister of State Dethloff at the request of the Dobbertiner Workers' Council. A probably unique event in the history of the Mecklenburg regional monastery.
Of the provisional from the duchies of Schwerin and Güstrow, 59 have been identified so far. The longest term as Provisor had the district administrator Hans Dietrich Wilhelm von Blucher on Suckow at Teterow from 1820 to 1861. While studying at the University of Leipzig Blucher was in 1811 together with Theodor Körner arrested for brawl and other offenses, and after nine weeks lockup expelled from the university . After the Battle of Waterloo , he said goodbye to the 2nd Hussar Regiment in 1816, took over his father's property and was elected provisional in the Landtag zu Sternberg in 1819 at the age of 30. Von Blücher held this office with loyalty and dedication for 41 years and died in 1861 at the age of 72. Monastery captain Otto Julius von Maltzan then arranged for him to ring the bell for four weeks in all the churches of the monastery office daily from eight to nine and in the afternoon from one to two o'clock.

Only 27 of the master chefs have so far been handed down by name. Of the last, from 1852 Wilhelm Schultz had ruled as an Actuarius at the Lübz civil and criminal court for 37 years with seldom loyalty to his duties and to the full satisfaction of his office as master chef. After that, from 1889 Gustav Schulze was kitchen master for 27 years and also chairman of the monastic health insurance company. On July 25, 1908, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV awarded him the title of accountant during his visit to Dobbertin . Because of the rather long terms of office, the position seemed to have been coveted nationwide. In 1908, 112 applications were received following a public tender, including lawyers, managing directors and authorized signatories, state secretaries, government councilors and tax officials from the Redefin State Stud .
State monastery with women's pen
Life in the women's monastery was organized relatively independently by a dominatrix elected for life as headmistress. The representative was a prioress who was also elected by the Convention . In the Dobbertiner monastery regulations it can be read: If the dominatrix elected for life should be physically handicapped in her office, the prioress has to represent in these pieces. The conventual women had a variety of tasks to perform in this evangelical community.
In the almost 370 years of existence as a noble women's monastery, 21 elected dominatrixes were active here as head of the convent, some held their office for more than 30 years. At the age of 13, Anna Leveke von Bülow from Groß Siemen came to the monastery in 1695 and lived there for 52 years, 20 of which as a dominatrix . Her portrait hung in the convent hall until 1945, and her grave slab is still in the north cloister today. From 1757 onwards, Oelgard Anna Ilsabe von Kruse (n) from Bredenfelde was a dominatrix for 35 years and died in Dobbertin at the age of 91. The handover of the order Pour la vertu by Duchess Louise Friederike took place on March 9, 1764 in the office of the monastery captain at a lavish party in front of over 100 invited guests. Her coat of arms hangs on the nun gallery in the monastery church, her oil painting was stolen from the convent hall in 1945. Hedwig Elisabeth von Quitzow came to Dobbertin from Severin in 1831 , she headed the convent for 37 years and died at the age of 96. Her name can be read in the keystone of the western cloister. After the consecration of the church in 1875, she had a strong influence on the complete interior decoration of the monastery church. As her successor she wanted Mathilde von Rohr , also a Prussian who had lived in Dobbertin since 1869 and was friends with the writer Theodor Fontane .
From 1875 on, Herwig von Schack from Pankelow headed the convent as dominatrix for 31 years . On her 25th anniversary in 1900 she was awarded the gold official cross with one large and four smaller light blue-green turquoise and 42 diamonds on the gold chain from the Duke Regent Johann Albrecht zu Mecklenburg . Her tombstone with an inscription is still used in the Dobbertiner monastery cemetery as a boundary wall for the garbage pit.
The daughter Auguste Elenore von Bassewitz of the Schwerin secret government councilor Friedrich von Bassewitz was domina for almost 19 years from 1906 to 1925 . After the war years and the recall of the monastery captain Hellmuth von Prollius in 1918, she vigorously campaigned for the new monastery administration to maintain the convent in Dobbertin. In 1925 the convent unanimously voted Auguste Caroline von Pressentin auf Rohlstorf as dominatrix . In 1936 she was replaced by the Parchim District Administrator Friedrich Roschlaub through the intrigues of the conventual woman Agnes von Bülow, the head of the National Socialist women's association in the Parchim district with the gold party badge of the NSDAP . As the last dominatrix elected by the convention , she died almost blind at the age of 91 on February 23, 1951 in Dobbertin. Her tombstone is in the monastery cemetery.
While admission to the monastery was still the sole responsibility of the prioress during Catholic times, this had changed with the new monastery rules of 1572. The prerequisites for admission were proof of monastery ability, aristocratic origin with proof of ancestry, virginity , Christian religion and a written declaration of “domestic descent”, only from the Mecklenburg nobility. Just a few days after the birth, parents had their eldest daughter enrolled in Dobbertin, the second born in Malchow Monastery and the third daughter in Ribnitz Monastery . If a place in the monastery became vacant by leaving , the next young lady was allowed to “move in” according to the registration list. Until the request to “move into the monastery”, waiting times of 40 to 50 years for a free place were common.
Registered book
The Dobbertiner registered book, which has been kept since 1696, contains a total of 2066 entries by daughters of the 160 best-known and oldest Mecklenburg noble families, such as von Barner , von Bassewitz , von Below , von Behr , von Bernstorff , von Blücher , von Brandenstein , von Bülow , von Both , von Cramon , von Dewitz , von Ferber , von Flotow , von Graevenitz , von Gundlach , von Hahn , von Hammerstein , von Hobe , von Holstein , von Kamptz , von dem Knesebeck , von der Lancken , von Lehsten , von Levetzow , von Linstow , von Lowtzow , from Lücken , from Lühe , from Lützow , from Maltzan , from Meerheimb , from Mecklenburg , from Moltke , from Oertzen , from Oldenburg , from the east , from Passow , from Pentz , from Pressentin , from Preen , from Plessen , from Plüskow , von Pritzbuer , von Quitzow , von Raven , von Restorff , von Rieben , von Rohr , von Schack , von Schuckmann , von Stenglin , von Storch , von Stralendorff , von Vieregge , von Voss , von Wangelin , von Weltzien , von Wickede , von Winterfeld , von Zeppelin and von Zülow , who also played a major role in the history of the country.
Ladies pen

Only 32 virgins lived in Damenstift, who now called themselves conventual women, but also “Fräulein” or “Klosterdame”. Since 1737 there were also at least two daughters from Mecklenburg citizen families eligible for advice, mostly daughters of mayors. To be able to live in the women's monastery meant a secure supply until the end of life. What was important in the women's monastery was the dress code, which also stipulated what Frau Domina and the conventual women had to wear on Sundays, in parties or when mourning. The white bonnet was part of the daily wardrobe. Appropriately, the ladies were not only decorated at festivities. From 1764 they wore the monastery order Pour la vertu ("For virtue"), which Duchess Louise Friederike had donated.
The apartments were spacious, had six to eight rooms, a kitchen with a pantry, two to three attic rooms, a cellar and woodshed. A front garden and considerable garden land on the monastery grounds were also part of it.

One or two servants, a maid and the servant were available to each ladies' household to help with all the heavy work in the house. To digging in the women's gardens and for the potato field, the yard workers were requested. The lady servant not only had to perform the agreed services, he had to appear in a suitable suit when waiting . Natural produce was delivered free of charge, the hunters brought game from the monastery forest, the fish from the monastery lakes were supplied by the fishermen. The land rider's wife was responsible for the smoking. The monastery bakery had to bake bread and cakes twice a week with the flour from the monastery mill. Each lady also had a cow. Every morning the cowherd brought fresh milk, in the afternoon the Goldberger dairy delivered the cream. The keeping of pigs and chickens on the monastery grounds also served to care for the women.
In addition to walks in the guarded monastery park with a lawn tennis court, the Gaude Hafen was another convenience for the ladies . From there one could row with the ladies' boats to a coffee party over the Dobbertiner See to Buchholz (Goldberg) , the beech forest of the monastery forest office. The local wood bailiff was responsible for translating the ladies and keeping the paths clean and had to make his heated large room available to the ladies as required. Two carriages were available for the ladies in the Remise for trips lasting several days . In the carriage regulations, however, it was also stipulated that the coachman had to return the key to the carriage house to Frau Domina in the evening in order not to be able to make a “black drive”.
In addition to the 32 women's apartments, there were separate houses in the monastery for the monastery captain and the provisional, the kitchen master and the dominatrix . In addition to the church and the cloister buildings, the monastery area included the brewery and distillery, the monastery bakery, the fruit kiln with the granary, the ice cellar , the bathhouse, the prison cells and the stables of the monastery master. A little apart, across from the monastery cemetery , was the home of the land rider, the monastery policeman. Behind it was the large building yard with the accommodation of the building yard people and craftsmen, several cattle sheds, the warehouses, the cow pasture of the conventual women with the night paddock and adjoining the large nursery of the monastery.
The most important task of the monastery administration and the Dobbertiner building yard was the daily and constant "functioning" of the monastic life with the supply of the 32 conventuals in the women's monastery itself. This included the constant cleaning and maintenance of all streets, footpaths and gutters in the entire monastery complex with the park and the cemetery. The delivery of coals and chopped up firewood for the monastery apartments and office rooms, but also the heating of all stoves and the ash removal was the task of the monastery servants and building yard workers. In addition to the daily messenger services for the conventual women, the carriages had to be driven, the boats rowed and the ladies' gardens digged up. Their arable land had to be cultivated and their horses, cows and pigs looked after. There was also cemetery work, the bells in the monastery church had to be rung, the monastery park had to be locked in the evening and the lights in the cloister and in the women's apartments had to be switched off.
In the 370 years 19 pastors were responsible for the spiritual care in the women's monastery, since the foundation of the monastery a total of 72 provosts and pastors have been active in Dobbertin.
After studying theology at the University of Rostock , Peter Röbelmann was pastor at Dobbertin Monastery from 1582 to 1607. In 1608 the 29-year-old Ennoch Zander took over the pastor's position from his father-in-law. During the Thirty Years War , the entire monastery area with its villages was badly damaged. When the pastor family Zander also died partly of the plague in 1638 , the 19-year-old son Petrus Zander was appointed pastor after trial sermons in Güstrow Cathedral and Schwerin Cathedral . In 1640 the monastery captain Paschen von der Lühe auf Thelkow as president of the court and district court, then the youngest pastor of Mecklenburg , sent him to the Swedish Queen Christina to get a letter of protection and protection for the Dobbertin monastery. The Queen wished that he should remain in Stockholm as pastor of the German parish and then wanted to ennoble him. From 1704 Casper Wilhelm Heerder was pastor in Dobbertin for 33 years. After his death in 1738 a disorderly election of preachers caused a sensation in the country and occupied the state parliament and the law faculties for four years. Duke Carl Leopold zu Mecklenburg had this electoral fraud declared invalid by the Reich Court of Justice as an act of nonsense . The ladies of the monastery had chosen the amiable preacher Christian Hintzmann, but the provisional Jobst Heinrich von Bülow auf Woserin wanted the court preacher Carl Christian Behm. He simply had the election protocol changed and 15 votes written in favor of Behm. But it wasn't until 1742 that Preacher Behm had to vacate the rectory.
State monastery with state estate administration
After the end of the monarchy , the November Revolution of 1918 also led to the dissolution of the three state monasteries Dobbertin, Malchow and Ribnitz. On November 18, 1918, the Dobbertin Monastery Office with all its assets and possessions was placed under the new Free State of Mecklenburg-Schwerin . According to § 75 of the constitution of May 17, 1920, this regulation was no longer contestable. The monastery office remained as the state monastery administration until June 1, 1922, after which it was briefly run as the Landdrostei Dobbertin , only to become the state monastery administration again. From 1 January 1925, took over Landdrostei Lübz the State Gutsverwaltung Dobbertin and was until 1945 the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and domains in Schwerin. Employees of the current management were around 1922 kitchen master Reckling, Oekonomierat Jerichau, senior administrative secretary Kleesath, senior manager Rittmeister a. D. Moll and official Rode, who later became the estate inspector. The seat of the estate administration was the monastery building yard.
The conventual women could continue to stay in the Dobbertin monastery until they died. To secure its claims there were 1,924 to 1,927 more cases before the Civil Division of the Higher Regional Court of Rostock and the Supreme Court , whose judgments gave in much of the Konventualinnen legal and civil rights of all 1,918 registered in the list Exspektantinnen confirmed a Konventualinnenstelle. The management of the apartments in the monastery from 1924 to 1945 was now the responsibility of the management. From 1925 the first pumps were abolished and water pipes were laid. In 1928 an antenna for the radio receiving system was approved.
On December 9, 1925, Auguste Sophie Caroline was elected the last dominatrix by Pressentin by the convention . After her deputy Julie von dem Knesebeck died on April 3, 1926 at the age of 82, Magdalene Marie Luise Auguste Wilhelmine von Oertzen was elected prioress. The Mecklenburg Church Newspaper celebrated her 95th birthday on June 21, 1959 . Magdalene von Oertzen, the last prioress of the Dobbertiner Convention, died on June 13, 1962 at the age of 98 in Dobbertin. Her tombstone is in the Dobbertin monastery cemetery .
The Parchim District Administrator Friedrich Roschlaub visited the Dobbertin Monastery with the NSDAP district leadership on August 24th. At the suggestion of the Mecklenburg Knighthood, the Klosterkonvent Dobbertin e. V. was founded and the statutes submitted to the district court in Goldberg on December 20, 1933, which were entered in the register of associations there on January 17, 1935. The association should maintain and promote contact between the conventual women in the monastery and the expectants and represent their legal position externally. According to the Dobbertiner statutes, the Ribnitz Convent Association was founded on December 5, 1935 in the Ribnitz Monastery. On June 15, 1936, the conventual and fanatical National Socialist Agnes von Bülow, as head of the Nazi women's group in the Parchim district of the NSDAP Gau Mecklenburg-Lübeck with the golden party badge, wrote a petition to the Parchim District Administrator Friedrich Roschlaub to the Political Police in Schwerin and the Mecklenburg State Ministry, Dept. Agriculture, Domains and Forests to the Dobbertiner monastery association, which was raised in 1933 .
Even after the involuntary replacement of Domina Auguste von Pressentin on June 2, 1936 by the Parchim District Administrator Roschlaub and the simultaneous appointment of Conventual Agnes von Bülow as a confidante in the convent, the monastery association was a nuisance for both of them. Agnes von Bülow was not elected head of the convent by the conventual women, nor did she receive the gold official cross with a chain. Despite the involvement of the Secret State Police in Schwerin, the dissolution of the monastery association, which had been in operation since 1934, could not be achieved because the Reich governor and Gauleiter of Mecklenburg, Friedrich Hildebrandt , personally prohibited the dissolution of the monastery association on September 21, 1938. Four women from the monastery were active in the Nazi women's group, three of whom died before the war began. All the others were sharply opposed to the Nazi party system. As a conventual, Agnes von Bülow and her closest confidante Luise von Winterfeld forced herself to join the Dobbertiner parish council on July 23, 1933. Then in 1933 Pastor Ulrich Schliemann left the Dobbertiner rectory and went to Brazil . The later very musical pastor Martin Romberg caused the Nazi-Bülow to leave the church, to go to church in uniform, and the windows in the rectory were smashed. From 1939 he was a division pastor in the Russian campaign and was shot in May 1945 as a hospital pastor in Posen .
In May 1937, the Reich and Prussian ministers for science, education and popular education tried to reorganize the constitution and administration of Prussian ladies' pens in order to provide the needy, fatherless and unmarried daughters of officials of the NSDAP and state officials with adequate supplies to ward off physical hardship . The same should happen with the Mecklenburg ladies' pencils. According to the protocol, the Reichsstatthalter and Gauleiter Friedrich Hildebrandt visited the monastery with the rooms of the NS district women in the administrative building, the mill farm for a BDM camp and the warehouse building for a state youth hostel on 23 November 1937 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Dobbertin. The Reich Governor suggested that the ugly cardboard-roof stables on the women's apartments should be demolished in order to have a clear view of the lake. The ladies of the monastery could stay in the Dobbertin monastery.
From 1942, bombed-out families of the SS and RAD from the Rhineland, especially from Cologne and Leverkusen, Hamburg and Berlin, were housed in the empty monastery apartments. As early as 1941, the Reich Ministry for Science, Education and National Education in Berlin-Spandau tried to set up Mecklenburg's first “German home school” for SS girls in the Dobbertin monastery. Because the apartments with refugees and air war victims , including the families of SS-Sturmbannführer Bremer from Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler , Lieutenant General of the Waffen-SS and commander of the SS Panzer Grenadier Division Totenkopf Hermann Prieß from Marnitz and the Oberstfeldmeister from the Reich Labor Service Dieter von Wulffen were occupied, the headmistress, teacher Dittmer, was still unable to begin teaching in "Damenhaus I" in December 1944. After a site visit on February 28, 1945 by employees of the Schwerin ministries with Ministerialrat Dr. Weber, Public Education Dept., Senior Building Officer Dr. Fischer, Dept. Building Construction and Parchim District Administrator Roschlaub, it was decided to set up barracks behind the ladies' houses I. and II. The building material delivered in Goldberg, however, no longer arrived in Dobbertin. On November 28, 1945, the Parchim District Office informed the President of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania about this process: “The investigations by the Mayor of Goldberg have shown that nothing is left of the school inventory of the planned home school in Dobbertin Monastery. The Red Army would rather have an officers' school; if the occupying power refrains from doing so, the apartments would later be provided for expected refugees. The plan to build a home school will therefore not be pursued for the time being. "

In 1942, a training camp for German forest workers was set up by the State Forestry Administration in the Klosterhauptmannhaus. But on the instructions of the Gauleiter and Reich Defense Commissioner Friedrich Hildebrandt, the Office for People's Welfare of the NSDAP Gauleitung had taken over the monastery captain's house "to take in expectant mothers and as a maternity home" in the course of the disaster operation. While there were 39 births of Wehrmacht helpers in 1943, there were a further 163 births in 1944 and 64 births by April 30, 1945.
The economic situation of the Dobbertiner Staatliche Gutsverwaltung in the last years of the war is to be clarified by the letter of the estate inspector Adolf Rode of March 16, 1944 to the Mecklenburg State Ministry, Dept. Agriculture, Domains and Forests in Schwerin about the provision of prisoners of war as workers by the employment office in Parchim. “Originally I had 20 Soviet prisoners of war, the initial number was reduced to 10. At the instigation of the district farmers, 8 prisoners of war were reassigned to the emergency. Dobbertin is an exception in the whole country with the monastery and all the existing needy residents, relocated people, refugees and the heavily occupied mother home with warrior women. With the departure of the 7 Russians in Dobbertin, an extraordinary emergency arises. Of the remaining 11 Russian prisoners of war, 2 work in the cow, pig and horse stables. In fact, I have 9 workers left. Since the required 5 team leaders, 1 governor as an assistant guard at the same time, 2 milkers, 1 tractor driver, 1 pig master and milk driver, 1 wheelwright and machine master as special workers have their permanent assignment in the company, only 2 German freelancers together with 9 Russians remain for the economy. The fact that an operation of around 1000 acres with 240 acres of two-cut meadows and 35% root crops with vegetables cannot even be maintained with these workers does not require any further discussion. ”It got even worse for the estate management. In October 1944 Freiarbeiter Auer was given over to the farmer Nehls in Dobbin as a housekeeper, because Nehls is "in the field". The freelancer Lembke and the team leader Bernhardt were handed over as war-indebted workers for war-necessary work for a period of five weeks and two Russians prisoner of war had to be brought to the hospital in Slate .
In the last report of the estate administration dated April 6, 1945, one can read: “The winter crops make a very good impression. The milk is distributed to the dairy, cloister ladies, breeding calves, deputies and refugees. Constant strain from billeting of treks, Wehrmacht and prisoners of war on the estate. Due to the many treks, a heavy druse was brought into the estate , which contaminated the entire horse population, including the colts. "
Before the Red Army marched into the monastery on May 2, 1945, Elisabeth Rindt and the bricklayer Paul Baumgarten hoisted a white flag on the towers of the Dobbertiner monastery church instead of the blue and white monastery flag. At the end of the Second World War, the state monastery and the state estate administration were dissolved.
The time after 1945
In Dobbertin and in the monastery, the Second World War ended quickly and without great losses. A fleeing German soldier and two refusing citizens, the forester Kliefoth and the shoemaker Radke, were shot by Soviet soldiers. On May 1, 1945, in the monastery bakery, the monastery master baker Ernst Müller baked an additional 200 loaves of bread on the orders of the German Wehrmacht to supply the soldiers of the Feldherrenhalle division, who were deposed in the Spendiner fir trees one kilometer north of Dobbertin . On May 2, 1945, the road bridge over the Jasenitz in the direction of Goldberg was blown up and in the evening the first Soviet soldiers with Panje wagons were in the monastery, who stole the bread there.
Red Army combat troops were stationed throughout the monastery, the victory was celebrated and some of the Soviet soldiers were drunk. By order of May 3, 1945, the monastery was to be evacuated within two hours. The nuns and refugees sought refuge in the surrounding villages of Dobbin , Kläden , Schwinz , Jellen , Spendin, Lüschow and in the Buchholz and Dobbiner Plage . Only the monastery bakery was allowed to stay, because the monastery baker Ernst Müller was responsible for the bread supply with the twelve Soviet soldiers assigned to him. It was baked in three shifts, the food was supplied by the former Russian prisoners of war outdoors on Lake Dobbertiner.
The conventual women also had to leave the monastery. Some found accommodation in Dobbertin and Dobbin as well as with relatives in the Malchow and Ribnitz monasteries. Eight of them, including Bertha Moll, Johanna Freiin von Brandenstein, Elisabeth von Lowtzow, Hedwig von Winterfeld, Margarethe von Schuckmann, Emma von Plessen, Helene von Blücher and Agnes von Bülow, died in Dobbertin and the surrounding monastery villages in 1945. The shop steward and head of the Nazi women's group in the Parchim Agnes von Bülow district hanged herself on November 13, 1945 in the attic of the forester's house in Dobbin and was buried by the Dobbin cemetery wall. In 1945, 91 burials are recorded in Dobbertin's death register, the village pastor Kurt-Vollrath Peters was still a prisoner of war in the USA. As a former NSDAP member, the Cologne refugee pastor Carl Köhler was banned from the pulpit in Dobbertin, but at the insistence of the mayor carpenter Wilhelm Roloff and the orders of the Russian commandant, he had to perform pastoral service without a gown at the burials of the caseless dead, sometimes two or three times a day. The village was also partially cleared and the houses were looted by migrating Polish and Russian foreign workers.
From August 1945 the first Soviet soldiers of the combat troops withdrew from the monastery and were replaced by occupation troops. From May 8, 1945 to September 1945, there was a transit, delousing, and clothing camp for Soviet prisoners of war , forced laborers , foreign workers and Latvians in the Dobbertin Monastery . For tens of thousands (around 82,000) people to be deloused, a disinfection system was built at Gauden Hafen using bricks from the monastery’s Hellberg brick factory . These numbers cannot be proven, but the disinfection system has been proven to have passed. The landing stage is located there again today. Then the Soviet citizens came to the repatriation camp No. 217 at Hellberg near the Goldberger See for further political filtration , for state examination .
During the search for the Soviet prisoners of war hiding in the forests of the Schwinzer Heide , who did not want to return to the Soviet Union with the transports, five soldiers and one officer were shot dead on August 4, 1945 near Kleesten on the orders of the SMAD commandant service . The repatriation camp No. 217 existed with 273 barracks and board sheds from May to autumn 1945. The march back took place through the Schwinzer Heide to Bossow for loading back home or to the Stalinist Gulag in Siberia .
In 1963 barracks for the 8th Panzer Regiment and the 8th Missile Division of the NVA were built on the site of the former Partriierungslager , which have been unused since the dissolution in 1991.
On December 28, 1945, the 82-year-old prioress Magdalene von Oertzen, who lived with her housekeeper Ms. Urban in an attic room in the Dobbertiner rectory, wrote a petition to the Prime Minister Wilhelm Höcker . ... when in mid-September 1945 our terrible plight for the Russians, which has deprived us all of our beautiful home, including all our belongings, since May 2nd, reached an unbearable level ... I try to establish the necessary connection to the monastery ladies who are scattered all around to obtain. A new strength has to come and is found. Miss Irmgard von Oertzen, one of our youngest ladies at the age of 68, is ready to take on the business mediator between the ministry and the monastery. From 1946 to 1948, Irmgard Bertha von Oertzen was the last dominatrix appointed to the state government as a liaison. Auguste von Pressentin, the last dominatrix elected by the convention, died at the age of 91 on February 23, 1951 in Dobbertin.
During the Russian occupation, on the night of October 30th to 31st, 1946, the eastern cloister building adjoining the church burned down. The southern of the two church towers was also damaged by the soaring flames. The sound hatches and the top layer of beams with their planking in the tower were burned. Since access to the monastery was not released until the spring of 1947, the fire damage could not begin until May 1947.
On December 24, 1946, the Soviet troops finally moved out of the monastery and handed over the completely empty monastery complex with the church, which was in a desolate state, to the Dobbertiner mayor. On April 25, 1947, the Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Wilhelm Höcker, rejected the takeover of the former Dobbertin Monastery by Regional Bishop Dr. Niklot Beste to the Mecklenburg State Church on the grounds that these buildings are urgently needed by the Ministry of Social Affairs for the construction of an old people's home . Höcker's consent for the Ministry of Social Affairs to use it as an old people's home was given on December 23, 1946, before the Russians left. On January 8, 1947, the Department of Welfare and Building Construction of the Parchim district and the Dobbertiner mayor carried out an informative tour. In the report of January 14, 1947 to the state government, one can read: In the current state none of the buildings is habitable! Missing windows, doors and ovens have to be installed everywhere and installations and sanitary facilities have to be repaired. The first work began in April 1947.
The inauguration of the old people's home took place on November 2, 1947 in the large hall of the former monastery captain's house. The rooms were furnished with simple wooden beds, straw sacks and blankets that were stuffed on site. There was no wallpaper, curtains or pictures. Eating utensils consisted of a bowl and a drinking cup. There was also a special house for the blind , and the former domina house with adjacent parts of the cloister were used as a hospital and infirmary. It later switched to the state retirement home and then became a district party evening home with around 520 beds. In 1957, some houses were declared nursing homes, where there was better food and care.
From 1948 onwards, twelve conventual women were again allowed to live in the monastery, including Erna von Blücher, Emmi von Bassewitz, Anna von Dewitz, Martina von Ferber, Therese von Lützow, Nadine von Lücken, Magdalene von Oertzen, Irmgard von Oertzen, Auguste von Pressentin, and von Raven and Margarete von Stenglin. The last of them, Elisabeth Charlotte Countess von Bassewitz , died on April 22, 1974 and was buried in the monastery cemetery in Dobbertin.
With the decision of the Schwerin District Council on January 3, 1962, the Dobbertin district party evening home was converted into a special nursing home for the mentally ill and the entire monastery complex was used for the mentally handicapped and mentally ill under the sponsorship of the Schwerin District Neurological Clinic .

A report from 1965 on the condition and use of the cloisters in the cloister buildings: During a visit to Dobbertin, we also visited the old monastery building with the cloister. Yes, how it looked here. The cloister is currently used as a storage room. Huge rolls of discarded ship ropes, which are otherwise processed by the residents there, blocked the passage. Large piles of cardboard were stored on the other side, and in between you waded through briquette gravel. Everything is in an unkempt and decaying condition! From 1973, tealights could be made by hand in small workshops and cellars for VEB Wittol, Ebersbach division . The wood supplied by the state forestry was used to manufacture broom stems and flower stems as well as wooden pallets and boxes for the scrap trade VEB Sero secondary raw materials were repaired.
In 1984, 654 people lived in the so - called long - term Dobbertin area , 414 of them adults and 240 children. In 1990 there were 590 people, sometimes up to seven people in one room. The monastery complex, which has been a listed building since 1977, was structurally in a desolate state. In addition to three boiler houses, there were 265 stoves in the houses and 85 chimneys that were heated with brown coal. There were several fires in the houses, in 1983 House V on the west side of the cloister building burned out. The small wastewater treatment plant, built in 1951, was completely out of date, and the wastewater flowed overfilled several times through the monastery park into the Dobbertiner See.
Use as a diaconal work
After the fall of the Wall , the Diakoniewerk Kloster Dobbertin gGmbH took over responsibility for the entire area of the Dobbertin Monastery on July 1, 1991 . The first chairman of the supervisory board was Pastor Karl-Otto Paulsen, managing director of the Vorwerker Heime and managing director of the Diakonische Homes of the Diakonisches Werk in Lübeck (today Vorwerker Diakonie Lübeck), who played a major role in the development of the Diakoniewerk Kloster Dobbertin, its maintenance, renovation and current use. The Diakoniewerk is active in the areas of assistance for the disabled, assistance to the elderly, psychosocial assistance, assistance for addicts and those at risk, educational and support assistance and assistance for children and families. In 2012, the Diakoniewerk had 1,435 employees in 54 facilities at 29 locations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In 1991, 550 people with intellectual disabilities or mental illnesses were accommodated in the former 14 women's houses for 32 conventual women in the Dobbertin Monastery and were looked after by 280 employees.
Since 1991, December 8, 1982, was listed Asked monastery and the church with the support of the German Foundation for Monument Protection and the German Environmental Foundation for a cabinet decision of the state government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern renovation of 27 May 1997 comprehensively. A workshop for the disabled was built as new buildings between 1994 and 1995, and a large kitchen from 1997 to 1998. From 1997 to 1999, all water and sewage pipes, long-distance heating cables as well as power and telephone cables were laid on the monastery grounds. The new boiler house and the transformer station were built into the former barn with a grain floor, today's technology building. Since 1993, the first renovated residential buildings have been heated in an environmentally friendly way with a heating container and oil tank that had been built for the Druzhba route in Russia before the fall of the Wall .
From 1998 to 2016, all 23 listed buildings were renovated. The living and living conditions of the people living there have improved accordingly.
The interior of the monastery church, which has belonged to the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since 1918, is currently being renovated.
In 1995 the 775th anniversary of the Dobbertin Monastery was celebrated. On February 9th, 2008 the “Theodor Fontane-Freundeskreis MV-Kloster Dobberin” was founded and on June 21st, 2009 a Theodor Fontane exhibition was opened in the former convent hall.

In 1997, Benedictine monks from the Ottobeuren Abbey in Bavaria visited the former Benedictine monastery in Dobbertin for the first time . In 2000 the nuns of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Gertrud came from Alexanderdorf and in 2004 the monks of the Benedictine priory of St. Ansgar came from the Nütschau monastery in Dobbertin. On July 4, 2001, the Federal President Johannes Rau visited the monastery complex in Dobbertin together with the Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Harald Ringstorff .
In the former brewery and distillery of the monastery there is now a restaurant with a terrace on Lake Dobbertiner. On the upper floor there are still four prison cells of the former monastery district court. In 2013 the first part and in 2018 the second part of an exhibition on the Dobbertin monastery office opened there.
Guided tours of the monastery and concerts, also as part of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Festival , are offered.
Monastery complex
The findings during the architectural archaeological support of the extensive renovation of the cloister building from 2000 to 2006 made it possible to prove for the first time that people in the Slavic period from the 9th century entered the peninsula on Lake Dobbertiner . A larger pit filled with Slavic municipal waste and a fireplace, which had been preserved under the medieval floors of the cloister building, prove the Slavic settlement of the area.
Located on Lake Dobbertiner and founded around 1200, the Benedictine order's monastery complex with its double-towered church is geographically almost in the center of Mecklenburg. Since people were already concerned about the safety of the new monastery at that time, it was built on a peninsula on Lake Jawir, today's Dobbertiner Lake, with a clearly visible entrance. In this way, the defensive monks could easily defend themselves against a considerable number of enemies. As pious, sincere and hard-working people, they turned the surrounding desert near Dobrotin into built land and drained the Great Werder ... As early as the last third of the 13th century, a wide water-bearing ditch was dug between the former office building and the northern farm buildings. It served as a security system and separated the monastery area from the upstream Großer Werder , from which access to the monastery took place until the early modern period. The oldest documented access to the monastery consisted of a boardwalk with a grate construction. The dendrochronological dating of the timber yielded data from the end of the 14th century. With the redesign of the monastery complex from the early 18th century, this access road was moved to the east side, where it is still located today.
Monastery church
Cloister building
Exam
The cloister , essentially of medieval origin, rebuilt several times, has been integrated into a spacious building complex with its four two-story brick and half-timbered houses since the 18th century. The appearance of the outer enclosure building was strongly influenced by the church renovation with the new double tower system from 1837. As early as 1838 the northern cloister was given an upper floor and in 1886 the historical gable, also known as the domina gable, was built on the northern front of the western cloister building. On the eastern side of the enclosure, a neo-Gothic brick extension made of shaped stones was built in 1882 by the Schwerin building officer Gustav Hamann for a representative upgrade . Despite the numerous recent changes, extensive parts of the original medieval building fabric have been preserved.
The construction of the enclosure building began in the late 13th century not with the east wing, which is connected to the church, but with the south wing . Two vaulted rooms with three columns could be built on the ground floor. From the medieval upper floor of the south wing, only remnants of the eastern end wall remained after the extensive renovation from 1720 to 1722. The nuns' old cells had been broken down and replaced with new apartments for women . Another great hall was built with the construction of the west wing in the first half of the 14th century. Findings of medieval shield arches of four and a half meters document the existence of a high vaulted hall along its entire length. A basement section as a flat ribbed vault and resting on five square pillars as the first construction phase in the late 13th century is still in the southern basement section. In the still existing cellars with the barrel vaults from the end of the 15th century, remains of two, but not simultaneous, medieval warm-air heating systems could be detected and documented under the floor on the north side. They date from the 15th and 16th centuries.
The northern enclosure originally consisted only of the cloister, which was added to the west wing in the middle of the 14th century. In today's monastery shop, part of the unplastered former outer wall of the north wing can still be seen. After the completion of the double tower system in 1837 at the monastery church, the northern enclosure building was also expanded in 1838. The two-storey north facade was made of brickwork with pointed arch windows. On the inner courtyard side, a two-story half-timbered building was simply built on top of the former cemetery. The eastern cloister building , which is now only fragmentary, seems to be limited to the cloister in its medieval structure. Of the east wing, which was only completed in the 15th century, with what was once the most important functional rooms of the monastery, little has been preserved after multiple renovations, demolitions and fires.
Cloister courtyard
While the cloister retained its medieval character, numerous changes can be seen in the inner courtyard. The chronological development of the settlement on the inner surface of the cloister wing can now be traced back to the archaeological construction supervision carried out from 1998 to 2003 by the archaeologist Frank Wietrzichowski during the renovation of the four cloister buildings to make them suitable for monuments and handicapped people. The entire inner courtyard was lowered by 0.85 m in order to restore the old floor level of the cloisters, to avoid further moisture damage to the cloister walls and to guarantee the disabled access. Meaningful Mesolithic flint material from the Middle Stone Age and Middle and Late Slavic sherds were found, which prove that this place was explored in the 10th - 12th centuries. At the latest from the end of the 14th century to the first half of the 18th century, the courtyard area was used as a cemetery. The earliest body graves are dated on the basis of given coins and the most recent graves found in the inner courtyard can be well dated by inscriptions on coffin fittings and on the grave slabs. Overlying skeletons testify to the long burial period and the multiple occupation of the grave sites by the nuns. The later construction of tombs and the use of large grave slabs, however, testify to the high social status of the dead.
With the help of geomagnetic mapping and georadar mapping by the University of Kiel , the sites were localized and then exposed using 10 search cuts using the cross-cut technique. Among the 36 archaeologically relevant findings, various medieval body graves in coffin burials, three tombs with barrel vaults and remains of coffins, three grave slabs made of Gotland limestone, including Anna Christina von Bülow, who died in 1725, and three grave slabs on a crypt as multiple burials were documented. Pilgrim signs and book fittings were also found. Since no more burials have been carried out since 1730, after the reconstruction of the monastery church, from the middle of the 19th century, the inner courtyard was filled with soil of half a meter and then landscaped with lawns, rose beds and benches. After 1940 the inner walls of the cloister building were covered with an eaves plaster, which is evidenced by a coin found under the plaster, a Reichspfennig from 1942.
The exposed field stone foundations on the south facade also show that there were once Gothic buttresses on the walls. Since from 1830 the living space was no longer sufficient for the more than 30 conventual women, in 1838 a half-timbered building was simply built in the inner courtyard and on the old nuns' cemetery behind the northern cloister. In 1995, when excavation pits were set up to test the stability of old field stone foundations at a depth of two meters in the northern enclosure building, completely preserved skeletons of nuns were found, which confirmed the construction in the cemetery. After the occupation by the Red Army in 1945 , various rubbish was buried in the courtyard. These included ammunition finds from the Second World War, such as carbine and pistol ammunition and a live 7.5 cm tank shell. A total of 17 4655 individual finds were recovered, of which 7 145 individual finds were inventoried. Among the special finds are a seal, five glass seals and a knife handle made of bone with a carved image of a king carrying a falcon on his right hand, probably from the end of the 13th century. and richly painted early China porcelain.
With the previous excavations it has been possible to reconstruct a large part of the buildings of the monastery from the end of the Middle Ages to the early modern period. The present shape of the inner courtyard with the spacious terrace is the result of the last renovation between 2002 and 2006.
Cloisters
The four-wing cloister , which was both a connecting path and a meditation room, formed the heart of the monastery complex. On the south side of the monastery church, contrary to the building rules, there is a cloister arm that is not at right angles. The four cloisters were built in several periods with different vault heights and widths from the 13th to the 15th century. The walls were built with red-fired bricks. This brick-faced surface had apparently survived for many decades. The plastered vault caps were painted white and the floors were covered with square terracotta tiles. There were also several changes between the 16th and 19th centuries. All four cloister wings enclose the rectangular inner courtyard and form a closed walkway on the ground floor.
The eastern cloister has a flatter, round vault with deep ribs and square keystones with floral patterns. With its eleven yokes and almost 45 m, it is the longest and widest cloister of the enclosure. The windows to the inner courtyard are shaped with pointed arches, the gate is provided with a round arch and there are candle niches in the inner outer wall.
In contrast to the other three aisles, the north cloister, almost 31 m long, with its ribbed vaults does not connect to the inner courtyard. Its eight yokes are all vaulted with round arches and almost square. The ribs of the vaults do not descend as deeply as in the east corridor. The square keystones are decorated with floral ornaments, the console stones with plastic symbols and sayings in Gothic minuscule from the second half of the 14th century.
The twelve yokes of the southern cloister, almost 32 m long, are vaulted with high pointed arches. The windows facing the courtyard are pointed arch shape, the niches with round arches. The twelve different keystones have rosettes with exclusively floral or star-shaped representations. The console stones on the walls all have a sculptured leaf with vine and oak leaf shapes as well as acanthus and vine leaf shapes. In the middle of the southern wing of the cloister, the two halls are separated by a passage with a medieval step portal with glazed shaped stones. In the course of the renovation, it was able to be restored in its original form in 2006. Medieval figurative paintings were uncovered on both sides. On the left side of the portal, St. Christopher is depicted as a larger than life figure with a staff covered with leaves and the Christ child on his arm. A holy king with a crown and a palm frond can be seen on the right side.
The twelve almost square yokes of the western cloister with a length of 31 m are also vaulted with pointed arches. The windows facing the courtyard are designed with pointed arches, the gate to the courtyard and the doors to the convent hall with round arches. Most of the keystones have circular inscriptions with the names and positions of the prioress, the dominatrix, the monastery captain, the provisional and 1858 when the cloisters were renovated. The console stones, on the other hand, are kept very simple.

In 2003, the specialist civil engineering company Stump from Berlin reestablished the almost 600-year-old field stone foundations of the four cloister wings. Enormous damage had caused the walls in the inner courtyard to be partially inclined. Using the jet grouting method, cement suspensions were pressed into the ground up to three meters deep. Over 200 of these concrete pillars now secure the enclosure building with the cloisters. Between 2004 and 2005, a glass entrance area to the cloister in the lower church and to the nuns' gallery was created at the northern cloister connection to the church, which also represents the main entrance to the cloister building and the school. This part of the building burned down during the occupation of the entire monastery complex by the Red Army in 1946. Inside the four cloister wings is the cloister courtyard.
Grave slabs
There are still 23 grave slabs in Dobbertin Monastery, on which 26 deceased are named. The historically most valuable limestone tombstones of some dominae, prioresses and conventual women were set up in the cloister and in today's monastery shop in the northern cloister building. These include names of well-known Mecklenburg noble families, such as von Bülow , von Krusen, von Bassewitz , von Meerheimb, von Lützow , von Plüskow , von Rohr , von Weltzien , von Scharffenberg, von Holstein and von der Lühe .
In the southern cloister in front of the entrance to the refectory are the two oldest grave slabs of the monastery. The more than two meter high grave slab for the secular mill builder Hinrik Glove dates from 1371. The deceased is depicted under a tracery canopy. He has folded his hands and is wearing a knee-length robe, a hood and pointed shoes. His beard is undulating and a kidney dagger hangs from his belt. Directly below the hands is a Greek cross, which is apparently intended as part of an otherwise unused prayer chain, in the lower right corner a wheel with four spokes, in the left an ax as a professional symbol (mill builder). In the corners there are medallions with the symbols of the four evangelists. The surrounding inscription reads: HERE IS BROTHER HINRIK GLOVE FROM DOBBERTIN, A MASTER OF MILL CONSTRUCTION. LET GOD AND OUR LADY LET HIS SOUL REST AND REST . This magnificent relief tombstone is one of the earliest written monuments of the Low German language in the Hanseatic region.
The grave slab of the Güstrow collegiate canon Nicolaus Mezstorp, who had been provost in Dobbertin since 1382, dates from 1417. The deceased is depicted under a richly articulated tracery canopy with wide supports. He wears liturgical clothing with an almucia , a hood that reaches over the shoulder, often with fur trim . In his left hand he is holding a goblet, the right hand is raised in blessing. A coat of arms on the left at his feet. In the four corners medallions with symbols of the evangelists. The surrounding inscription reads: IN THE YEAR OF THE LORD 1417 LORD NICOLAUS MEZSTORP, PROPST OF THIS CHURCH, DIED. HIS SOUL IN PEACE. AMEN .
Since nuns could not be ordained a priest, clergymen had to celebrate mass and hear their confession. The heavily worn grave slab of confessor Bernd Holle from 1387 was found in 2001 during archaeological excavations in the cloister courtyard and is located in the passage of the southern cloister next to the refectory.
The restored grave slab of the monastery captain Cord (Churd) von Behr , who died in 1660, stands on the gable of the western extension of the monastery captain's house. All of the grave slabs of the prioresses and conventual women in the cloisters date from the post-Reformation period, including some re-used slabs. In the southern cloister is the grave slab of Petrus Henningi, who died in 1518, on which the late Gothic inscription has been preserved. The representation of the deceased has been processed in the inner field. Today the carved grave inscription for Agnes Johanna von Plüskow, who died in 1748, can be read today.
refectory
.jpg)
The two-storey south wing, built in the 13th century, is the oldest part of the enclosure. What has been preserved in the eastern part of the first floor is a two-aisled, four-bay hall room , the refectory as the dining room of the nunnery. The eastern hall has been completely preserved in its medieval substance. In contrast, the vaults and columns are missing in the western hall. The three monolithic central columns made of Gotland limestone with the associated bud capitals and Attic bases support the ribbed vaults . As in the vaulted room of the Cistercian monastery in Zarrentin , the three Gotland limestone columns, which were manufactured at the end of the 13th century and exported as luxury goods to the Hanseatic region, came to the Dobbertin monastery. The composed of four mold bricks terracotta - consoles for the vault ribs have been used only after the brick construction of the walls. Under the eastern yoke there is still a barrel-vaulted cellar, which was probably built at the end of the 18th century to be used as living space for conventual women. Architectural studies showed that you could only get into the cloister from the eastern hall via the middle corridor. The western hall, on the other hand, was only accessible via the cloister.
Besides the church and the cloister, the refectory is the only surviving medieval vaulted room. During the years of the noble women's monastery, it was used as living space by conventual women. From 1951 to 1952 the refectory was first renovated and from 1964 to 1965, safety measures were carried out on the foundations and the outer wall together with the Institute for Monument Preservation in Schwerin. During the extensive restoration of the cloister building from 2000 to 2004, the original red color was restored in the refectory according to the findings on a sample area. The vault caps covered with a very thin lime mortar plaster could be whitewashed again and the brackets made of lime plaster stucco could be painted light gray.
Domino house
The so-called Dominahaus is located in the north-western part of the cloister building . The Domina was after the Reformation from 1572 selected from the convent for life head of the women's congregation. The residence of Ernestine Hedwig von Schack, who was elected dominatrix in 1875, had been quite modest up to that point and was to be upgraded according to her position in the monastery. On November 12th, 1884, the monastery governor reported to the state parliament in Malchin: The building includes the apartment of the reverend Frau Domina Hedwig von Schack and the apartment of a conventual. In its current state, both internally and externally, it is not worthy of the Dobbertin monastery, especially since the gable of the monastery captain's apartment is directly opposite, defaces the entire monastery square and does not adjoin the other buildings there. The existing gable of the two-storey half-timbered house with the low-hanging mansard roof was demolished after 1884. By erecting a decorative gable with the associated renaissance forms of this time, the new domina house should emphasize and appreciate the importance of the domina in the monastery compared to the dominant baroque Pitz building of the monastery captain.
As recently as 1884, the monastery chiefs gave the Schwerin court building officer Georg Daniel the task of submitting cracks and notices for a dignified apartment for Frau Domina. The interior of the spacious apartment on the upper floor with the curved staircase also included the contemporary furnishings of the convent hall. The gable, designed in the neo-renaissance style, with the three-axis central projection , the surrounding terracotta frieze and the decorative elements made of sandstone was completed at the end of 1886. On November 23, 1886, the monastery leaders reported to the state parliament: The expansion and construction of the Domina apartment, approved by the state assembly, is now complete. At the special request of Ms. Domina, the local committee is happy to see that the revered woman has expressed her full satisfaction with her new apartment. In terms of style, the gable is reminiscent of the facade on the Bernstorf manor, which was also built by Georg Daniel before 1882 .
The construction costs were not insignificantly exceeded, but in order to design a worthy renovation, the monastery leaders had been given a free hand. This matter was thus settled and brought to a close. During the last extensive renovation of the cloister building, the decorative facade was also repaired in 2004.
Convent hall
The convent hall is on the ground floor of the western cloister building. It was manufactured and furnished in 1886 with the installation of the new dominatrix apartment next to the representative staircase. All wooden components such as panels, toe boards and window sills, frames and doors were imitated in dark oak. The wall surfaces had been furnished with high-quality wallpaper. The convent hall was also used on festive occasions, such as the election of the dominatrix as head of the convention by the conventual women, but also for devotions in the cold winter months. Until 1945, 18 oil paintings of monastery captains, provisional agents, dominatrixes and Mecklenburg sovereigns hung here like in an ancestral gallery. The portrait of Duchess Louise , the wife of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I , had a special place because she donated the star of the order to the conventual women .
On the portraits, Anna Levecken von Bülow ad H. Groß Siemen (1727–1747) 20 years Domina, Oelgard Anna Ilsabe von Krusen ad H. Bredenfelde (1757–1792) 35 years Domina, Hedwig Elisabeth Dorothes von Quitzow ad H. Severin ( 1838–1875) 37 years Domina, Ernestine Hedwig von Schack ad H. Pankelow 31 years Domina (1875–1906) and Auguste Eleonore von Bassewitz from Schwerin (1906–1925) 20 years Domina. The portraits of Lieutenant Colonel Joachim von Bassewitz in Levetzow (1709–1744), Jobst Hinrich von Bülow in Woserin (1747–1762), August Friedrich Strahlendorff in Gamehl (1767–1774), Friedrich Christian von Krackewitz in Briggow hung from the monastery captains (1776–1790), provisional Joachim Friedrich Matthias von Grabow auf Suckwitz (1755–1760), Rittmeister and monastery captain August Friedrich von Lowtzow auf Klaber (1805–1818), Carl Peter Baron von Le Fort from Boeck (1836–1854), district administrator and provisional Hans Dietrich Wilhelm von Blücher auf Suckow (1820–1861) 41 years provisional, district administrator and monastery captain Heinrich Thedwig von Oertzen auf Lübbersdorf (1882–1894), hereditary marshal Carl Friedrich Ludwig von Lützow auf Eickhof (1894–1914), district administrator and provisional Josias Helmuth Albrecht von Plüskow auf Kowalz (1862-1889) and Vice-Landmarschall and provisional Johann Heinrich Carl von Behr auf Hindenberg (1845-1864). Valuable gifts also once adorned the convent hall. These included a crucifix from the 15th century, two pewter altar candlesticks from 1606 and a sixteen-armed brass chandelier with the Bülow coat of arms. Nothing is known about the whereabouts of the oil paintings and the valuable furnishings. They disappeared without a trace after the World War II and the occupation of the monastery by the Red Army.
After the completion of the renovation work on the cloister building in 2006, a Theodor Fontane exhibition will be shown in this room in memory of the years of the conventual Mathilde von Rohr from 1869 to 1889 and the visits of Theodor Fontane from 2009 onwards.
Outbuildings
Klosterhauptmannhaus
During the development work on the entire monastery grounds from 1997 to 1999, unknown structures of medieval monastery buildings were excavated when some of the first dirt, rain and drinking water pipes were laid in front of the south portal of the monastery master's house. Foundations and cellar remains made of rock and cloister format stones give evidence of a partially basement building that dates from the 15th century. Among the finds, charcoal can be dated to 1457 and fragments of glass and fragments of stove tiles to the 14th century. Since the majority of the remains of the cellar and foundations are under today's office building, this could be the former provost's office. Because until the demolition or destruction of this building before the construction of the new office building from 1751 until the Reformation, the provost in the nunnery and from 1572 the monastery captains in the state monastery held the administration.
The monastery governor's house, also called the Amtshaus, was built for administrative purposes and as the official residence of the monastery governor in the years 1751 to 1756 in the middle of the brick-embossed monastery complex and still stands out due to its plastered architecture and solitary building position. It is classically structured with a half-high basement, two high full floors and a hipped roof with remarkable dormer windows. The building, which is still baroque at its core, has a flat central projection and triangular gable with its elegant entrance staircase pointing to a park-like open space. The portal is framed with pilaster strips and a round gable. Above the renewed baroque front door there is a stone plaque next to the dates 1751–1756: “The Lord bless you and protect you”. The brightly plastered facade is structured by a strong eaves cornice and corner pilasters.
The size of the house shows the importance of the monastery office. From the annual account books of "the virgin monastery office" it can be seen that the "new office house" began in 1751 and was completed in 1757. In 1754, 12,000 bricks came from the monastery's own brickworks in Lähnwitz and Mestlin, and the Gotland limestone slabs for the foyer from Wismar. At the state parliament on November 13, 1757, the monastery captain von Bülow reported "that when Secretarius Haase moved into the new Ambts house, the transportable cupboards with the Dobbertin's Ambts archive in the good room had to be put into proper order."
For over 360 years, 32 monastery captains had directed the fortunes of the monastery here. After the dissolution of the monastery office in 1919 and the replacement of the last monastery captain Hellmuth from Prollius auf Stubbendorf, the office building has been used in many ways to this day. As early as October 1919 it was to be used as a home for children at risk of tuberculosis. After 1938 a training camp for German forest workers was set up. From 1943 to 1945, in addition to accommodation for refugees, it was also a maternity home for expectant mothers of military assistants. The monastery captain's house was also occupied by the Red Army until 1947. Then as a state retirement home and from 1962 it was used by the Schwerin District Nervous Clinic.
Kitchen master house
The neo-Gothic brick building with a surrounding plinth in ashlar plaster and the arch-like two-flight staircase was started in 1843 and completed at the end of 1845 for the kitchen master as a tax officer. The floors of the wide central risalit facade are separated from each other by a plaster panel as a horizontal band with the "so-called running dog and inlaid lily motifs". In the upper triangle of the gable there is a larger semicircular window with cast iron bars. As a trained financial officer in the monastery administration, the kitchen master was responsible for all income and expenses of the monastery property, lands, forests and for the registrations of the noble ladies. In the kitchen master's house, next to the office space, there was his apartment and on the southern gable was the entrance for the apartment of a conventual. In 1946 it was the administration of the state retirement home and was renamed Haus Güstrow . From 1962 it was used by the branch of the Schwerin District Nervous Clinic as a care station for children. After a renovation carried out in 1992 due to unreasonable living conditions, the entire evacuation took place in 2001 due to the constantly deteriorating state of construction. From 2002 to 2003 extensive securing and renovation work was carried out, including environmentally friendly re-foundation of the foundations with special drilling rigs on a 4.50 m thick layer of peat. Today the former master chef's house is used as a dormitory.
Ladies houses
In the years 1864 to 1877 another four “ladies' houses” were built in the neo-Gothic style. Noteworthy are the slender gable porches with pillar templates, the narrow pointed arched windows and the massive ornate chimneys. In these prosperous monastery times, the roofs were still covered with slate . Each of the separately accessible and very spacious apartments usually had a hall, six to eight rooms, a kitchen and pantry, plus two to three attics, a cellar, woodshed and a front garden.
Brewery and distillery
Written sources, such as the account book of the monastery office, attest to brewing activities in the monastery as early as 1524. The provost had to buy hops and malt ... Today's brewery and distillery was built after 1744 as a single-storey brick building with a half-hip roof. Completed June 28, 1746, it was 111 feet long and 43 feet wide. In the account book main register of the virgin monastery office Dobbertin from 1751 four beds are noted in the building. In 1766 the official actuary (clerk) Schröder had listed the inventory with the new master brewer Matthias Malchow.
At the Sternberg Landtag in 1843, the monastery captain Carl Peter Baron le Fort reported: “They wanted to convert the distillery building into a house for three monastic servants”. Since the prisoners were no longer allowed to live in the bailiff's house according to the new criminal court regulations, four prison cells were to be set up under the roof for the monastery district court in the building that was only approved in 1846, which are still there today. In 1880, the official bakery with the bakery was set up in the north side wing. It remained in the family until 1958 and was then continued as the HO bakery until 1966 . In addition to a day nursery, an HO sales point was set up on the ground floor from 1958. In 1993 the empty rooms were converted into a monastery café. After extensive renovation work, it has been used as a restaurant under the name Brauhaus since 2011 . The foundations of the brewing kettle and the chimney bell were uncovered during the building archaeological investigations during the construction work. With the size of such brewing kettle with a diameter of two meters, it was possible to brew up to 1500 liters of beer for personal use.
Gate house
The gate house stands on the edge of the monastery park. At that time, this building, one of the oldest in the monastery, was the first access from the Großer Werder to the monastery complex. Since they were concerned about the safety of the monastery, they chose the access through the moorland. Two doors and windows with old round arches have been preserved on the east side of the single-storey brick building with a hipped roof and plain tiles. The three ridge vaults and belt arches in the interior also suggest an early construction, which was destroyed by fire in 1757. Domina Ilsabe von Krusen had noted in the account book of the Dobbertin monastery on November 27th, 1757, on November 11th, 1757 our gatehouse and workshop burned down due to the inability of the carpenter, whereby we suffered a lot of damage.
Around 1750 the prisons, which were not always safe to escape, were still located here, because in 1751 Paul Albrecht, who had been arrested for theft, broke through a wall after removing the strong shackles and chains. After the reconstruction in 1862, the Secret Archives Councilor Friedrich Lisch from Schwerin with the then monastery captain Otto Julius Freiherr von Maltzan on Penzlin believed that the building dates from the time the monastery was founded. During restoration investigations in 1994, the restorer Andreas Baumgart found 17 color versions from white to gray to red on a belt arch behind the entrance door, a text written in pencil by the glazier journeyman Hans Höning from 1863 and a glazier from Ribnitz from 1864. After the renovation in 1994, the former gate house was first used as a residential building and now as a therapy building.

Monastery cemetery
In the monastery cemetery there are still over 70 tombstones of former conventuals, dominatrixes and temporary agents. Particularly worth seeing is the granite tombstone donated by the prelate von Arnim for the conventual Johanna Agnesa von Gloeden , who died on February 22, 1791 , the plaited sandstone obelisk for the cloister captain Chamberlain Hans Friedrich Christian von Krakewitz, who died on November 11, 1790, and the grave of the Conventual Mathilde von Rohr , who had lived in the monastery since 1869 and died in Dobbertin on September 16, 1889. Her long-term friendship with Theodor Fontane made him often stay in Dobbertin from 1870 onwards.
On grave crosses are the names of von Schack, von Maltzan, von Bassewitz, von Oertzen, von Lowtzow, von der Lühe, von Weltzien, von Quitzow, von Bülow, von Heyden, von dem Knesebeck, von Blücher, von Flotow, von Hoben, by Hammerstein, von Behr, von Wickede, von Both, von Pentz, von Restorff, von Graevenitz and von Schuckmann. Of the last conventual women still living in Dobbertin after 1945, Domina Auguste von Pressentin became Domina Auguste von Pressentin on January 13, 1962, Domina Magdalena von Oertzen on June 13, 1962, Margarete Freiin von Stenglin on February 27, 1965 and Elisabeth Charlotte on April 22, 1974 Countess von Bassewitz is buried in the monastery cemetery.
Personalities
In Dobbertin Monastery, the nunnery was headed by a prioress (often also called priorissa in Dobbertiner documents), the subpriorin (also called subpriorin) was her deputy. The provost, as the spiritual father of the monastery, was also the legal administrator and took care of the secular business and affairs for the monastery together with the prioress. In its 340 years as a nunnery, 44 provosts have been identified so far. Among the large possessions of the monastery there was also a so-called sand propst in Röbel an der Müritz , who managed the administrative business for the monastery in the front and rear sand propsties (were the lands with poor, sandy arable land) from his residence there. After the Reformation and the dissolution of the nunnery in 1572, the headwoman in Dobbertin, who was elected for life in the convent, was named Domina in the noble women's monastery and her deputy prioress. In the 350 years as a women's monastery, 21 elected dominatrixes, some of them for more than 30 years, were demonstrably active. The day-to-day administrative business for the monastery was now taken over by a managing director who was elected for six years from the members of the knighthood eligible for the monastery and was called the monastery captain. Also from the knighthood of the two Mecklenburg (partial) duchies of Schwerin and Güstrow who were eligible for a monastery, the state parliament elected two provisional members for four years. In addition there was the monastery office with its administration, which was led by the kitchen master as the financial administrator. The Syndicus, as the authorized agent of legal matters for the monastery office, was also a judge in the monastery district court.
The Low German writer John Brinckman lived in the monastery captain's house from 1844 to 1846, where he was tutor for the sons David, Ludwig and Franz of the monastery captain Johann Carl Peter Baron von Le Fort.
The Brandenburg writer Theodor Fontane (1819–1898) has visited his long-time and closest confidante Mathilde von Rohr several times since 1870, who from 1869 spent the last twenty years of her life as a conventual in the noble convent of the Dobbertin monastery.

Witch trials in the Dobbertin monastery office
In addition to many truthful and documented stories, there are also some monastery files from previously unknown witch trials that took place 400 years ago in the Dobbertin monastery office. From 1594 to 1682, 25 witch trials in the monastery office are known to date, including 14 witch trials with nine death sentences by burning at the stake in Dobbertin. The ruling files are in the judgment books of the university archives in Rostock and Greifswald. The Dobbertiner monastery district court was free to use the teaching institute in reaching its verdict, the strictest sentences (mostly death sentences by burning) came from the law faculty of the University of Rostock.
The negotiations took place in the office of the head of the monastery. The position of executioner seemed to have been sought after, because in 1624 Claus Lowens from Güstrow made a request to the Dobbertin monastery for appointment as an executioner.
On a map from 1777, the judicial mountain is shown on the old country road from Dobbertin to Güstrow, on the border to the Spendiner Tannen, to the left of the former Spendin monastery. The gallows stood there and the sentence was carried out there.
