The Kleinburlo monastery in Darfeld is a former monastery from the middle of the 14th century, of which there are no visible remains except for a few outbuildings. It was named Maria Weingarten ( Vinea Mariae ). Until its abolition in 1803/12, the monastery was owned by various orders.

history

1351 Horstmarer Burgmann Konrad Strickland and his wife Haseke made a donation of land to the in Burlo located Klostermarienberg Garden to one of between Darfeld, Horstmar and Eggerode Wilhelmiten to justify populated office. About ten years later, the Kleinburlo monastery was built on one of the donated farms. In 1407, the Großburlo and Kleinburlo monasteries were separated after visitations identified grievances at the headquarters: in addition to the spiritual life, there was not enough time to cultivate the extensive land, the monastery in Großburlo ran into economic difficulties. Kleinburlo was made a priory and at that time numbered 22 monks. In 1447/48 the Wilhelmites in Groß- and Kleinburlo joined the Cistercians . The mother monastery became Kamp . Within the order they belonged to the Colligatio Galiaensis . This group was known for the particularly strict adherence to the rules of the order.

Kleinburlo experienced several difficult economic times, in the Seven Years' War (1756–63) it faced ruin. Poverty led to the dissolution of the convent in 1798. Due to high debts, the cathedral chapter of Münster took over the complex. With the consent of the Cistercian order, Alexians from Neuss were supposed to take over the monastery. This plan was not implemented. Instead, Trappists from Darfeld leased the Kleinburlo monastery, which was closed in 1803 in the course of secularization . In 1811 the Napoleonic government ordered the final abolition of Kleinburlos. After the monks left the monastery, it became the property of the Salm-Horstmar family in 1815 . In 1823 ownership and part of the monastery archives passed to Privy Councilor von Riese. In 1835 it was acquired by Count Droste zu Vischering .

Little remains of the Kleinburlo monastery today. The church and the structurally connected monastery were completely demolished. There are different details about the time of removal. In part, 1826 is mentioned as the year the church and monastery were demolished; According to Franz Darpes , the church was demolished in 1815 at the earliest, but in any case in front of the monastery buildings, the latter in 1835 at the earliest.

Some of the documents are in the Darfeld archive. The separation document from 1407 is in the Fürstlich-Salm-Salm'schen Archive in Anholt. The inventory was publicly auctioned as early as 1804. The monastery library, a directory from 1803 lists 1165 volumes, generated 174 Rtlr of the 331 Reichstalers in total. The library consisted of religious and ascetic writings as well as Greco-Roman classics. There were also 330 duodecs and some choir books.

Of the few buildings that have not been demolished, the brewery belongs to the grain mill ( coordinate ), called Burloer Mühle. Today, after the half- hipped roof including the half-timbered “mezzanine” was removed after damage by Hurricane Kyrill in 2007 and replaced with a low corrugated iron roof, this is used as a stable building. The former oil mill has fallen into disrepair.

The Madonna Bell of the former monastery is the work of Pieter van Seest (1716–1780), who was director of the Amsterdam city foundry from 1756 to 1780. It bears the year 1765 and the inscription "I call for holy joy in the choir at Burlo". The bell has been hanging in the church tower of St. Margareta in Asbeck since 1804 .

Expedition Münsterland brings the foundation walls of the monastery to life

In 2013 the Expedition Münsterland , a project of the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster , which presents scientifically interesting places in the Münsterland , dedicated two on-site events to the "disappeared" monastery Kleinburlo. In 2015, the House of Science at the old Darfeld train station ( generation park ) is devoting an exhibition to the Kleinburlo monastery. The exhibition can be visited on weekends during the summer months during the opening hours of the station café.
