Marienborn Abbey (Lütgendortmund)
The monastery Marienborn was a monastery in Dortmund district Lütgendortmund .
The monastery was built in 1295 on the estate bought by Hermann Goldacker during the Beguine movement . Initially beguines lived here under a freely chosen headmistress who had no monastic vows. Later it was first a Premonstratensian and then a Franciscan convent .
The founding of the monastery is attributed to a local family who could not marry their daughters. The monastery was assigned to the Werden monastery and was subject to tax here.
The monastery was demolished at the beginning of the 18th century because of dilapidation. Only a foundation wall of the old building is still there. A new monastery was built on this in 1725. Next to it stood a small monastery church in which the Catholic community held services until the parish church was built in 1892.
During the French rule in 1809 the monastery was dissolved. It was later used as a school. Today it is the seat of the district youth home, the day care center and the city library. Two street names, Beguinenstrasse and Marienbornstrasse, are reminiscent of the monastery. It is entered as an architectural monument in the list of monuments of the city of Dortmund .
