The convent building of the monastery

Heidenfeld Monastery , also called Maria Hilf Monastery , is a monastery of the Congregation of the Daughters of the Redeemer in Heidenfeld near Schweinfurt in Lower Franconia ( Bavaria ).

history

In 1069, Countess Alberada von Schweinfurt and her husband, Count Hermann von Habsberg-Kastl, donated one of their marriages to build a monastery . Bishop Adalbero von Würzburg , to whom the foundation was handed over, passed it on in 1071 to the Augustinian Canons , who were subsequently mainly active in pastoral care and looked after over 20 parishes.

The monastery was completely destroyed twice in the Peasants' Wars in 1525 and during the Margravian War in 1553/54, but was rebuilt by the Augustinian Canons. In 1632 the priest Liborius Wagner, who was beatified as a martyr, was buried in the collegiate church. Under Provost Andreas IV. Deichmann (1644–1673) the monastery flourished again even after the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War . Balthasar Neumann provided the plans for a new baroque convent building between 1723 and 1733. From 1783 the collegiate church was redesigned by the Mainz court painter Joseph Ignaz Appiani and the Würzburg court plasterer Materno Bossi . The staircase that extends over the three floors and the richly stuccoed main hall on the second floor are remarkable.

The abolition of the monastery in the course of secularization took place in 1803. The complex was sold in 1805 to Count Türkheim, who had the church torn down. The church and monastery furnishings were sold; individual objects are still preserved in churches in the area. From 1807 to 1901 the Barons von Bodeck -Ellgau owned the remaining monastery buildings. In 1901, through the mediation of the later Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber, the Congregation of the Sisters of the Redeemer , a women's congregation founded in 1866 under papal law, acquired the remaining buildings. In 1935 the vacant lot caused by the demolition of the church was closed and a new south wing was built with a chapel and a baroque altar. The monastery initially served as a rest home, then as a retirement and nursing home for members of the congregation. For this purpose, additional buildings were built as a care home in 1975 and 2003.

Toast

The list is based on the essay by Benvenut Stengele The former Augustinian Canons Monastery of Klosterheidenfeld am Main from 1896. Additions from other works are indicated in italics. From the early days of the provost few head have survived. Only from the year 1266 onwards are the provosts comprehensible. In contrast to many Benedictine monasteries in the area, the provosts were not recruited from the aristocratic families of the region, but also came from bourgeois families.
