The Malchow Monastery is a former Magdalenian convent in Alt Malchow in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is located on the south side of Lake Malchow .

history

A first monastery of the Magdalenerinnen , "penitents in the succession of Maria Magdalenas" ( sorores penitentes see Marie Magdalene ), was built before 1274 in Neu Röbel an der Müritz.

Religious affiliation

Between May 21 and June 2, 1298, the convent of the Order of Penitents was moved by Bishop Gottfried I von Bülow from the Havelberg diocese to the archdeaconate of Waren in the village of Alt Malchow on the south bank of Lake Malchow. The convent building in Röbel was taken over by Dominicans .

Monastery history up to secularization

With the consent of his mother Sophia, Nikolaus von Werle transferred the church patronage to Alt- and Neu-Malchow and Lexow to the women's monastery in 1298 .

In the 15th century the convent was considered to be Cistercian .

Conversion into a state monastery

After the Reformation , the monastery was with in Article 4 of Sternberger Assekuration of 2 July 1572 a noble convent converted and united country stands transferred. With the monastery Dobbertin and the monastery Ribnitz it formed the three state monasteries of the Mecklenburg knighthood. The prerequisites for admission were proof of monastery ability . Their prerequisites included noble origin with ancestral test , virginity, Christian religion and a written declaration of “domestic descent”. Only members of the local and popular nobility had the right to have their daughters registered. A few days after the birth, parents had their eldest daughter enrolled in Dobbertin, the second born in Malchow and the third daughter in Ribnitz. 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.

As a result of the revolution in 1918, the state estates were abolished as a corporation, the state monasteries were initially placed under state supervision and completely repealed by the constitution for the Free State of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and the Introductory Act of May 17, 1920. However, existing registrations at that time remained unaffected. The monastery office was run by a gentleman from Lücken .

Monastery complex

The monastery complex is located on the east side of Lake Malchower, opposite the town of Malchow, which is on an island, and is characterized by the church. In addition to the cemetery, the monastery complex also includes the so-called English Garden , which was laid out in the time of the chef Cristian Engel from 1786 to 1818 and completed in 1856.

Building history development

Most of the buildings were preserved until the major renovations in 1722, 1729 and 1730; only the furnishings were adapted to the changed needs. Parts of the cloister with cloister buildings still exist from the old complex.

The monastery church was built from 1844 to 1849 according to plans by Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel . There was a special festival program for the laying of the foundation stone of the tower on April 3, 1844. A 52-meter-high square tower with an octagonal top was added to the west building and the nave was renewed from 1847 to 1849 . After a fire in 1888, the church was extensively renovated in the neo-Gothic style according to the plans of Georg Daniel by 1890 .
