The Klostermarienberg Garden is a Catholic monastery of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in Burlo , a district of Borken in Westphalia . To distinguish it from the Kleinburlo monastery , it is often referred to as "Großburlo monastery". In the Middle Ages and the early modern period it was alternately inhabited by Cistercians , Wilhelmites and again Cistercians. In the course of secularization , the monastery was closed in 1803. Since 1920 it has housed an Oblate school. The associated monastery church is dedicated to the Mother of God.
history
An oratory was built as early as 1220 . Between 1242 and 1245 this was owned by the Cistercian monastery Marienborn . In 1245 it was settled by Wilhelmites from the Netherlands. Pope Nicholas V ordered the transfer to the Cistercians in 1447/48. Within the order they belonged to the Colligatio Galiaensis . This group was known for the particularly strict adherence to the rules of the order.
In 1398 the name Mariengarden appears for the first time in documents .
Between 1585 and 1589 the monastery was heavily burdened by looting during the Spanish-Dutch war . During the Thirty Years' War new destruction took place. In 1803 the monastery was closed as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss ; Land, buildings and inventory, especially the monastery library, came into the possession of the princes of Salm-Salm and Salm-Kyrburg ( Principality of Salm , Salm (nobility) ).
With the Burlo Convention , concluded on October 19, 1765 in the Mariengarden monastery , the previously controversial border between the Dutch province of Gelderland and the Duchy of Münster became binding and has remained unchanged since then. Today the Kommiesenpatt leads as a hiking trail on both sides of the border from the "St.-Vitus-Stein" at the intersection of the municipal boundaries of Südlohn - Winterswijk and Vreden over numerous old "customs officers and smugglers' paths" to the Burloer monastery.
Parts of the monastery were used for schools as early as the 19th century. In 1920 the Oblates of the Immaculate Virgin Mary repopulated the Mariengarden Monastery and founded a private school here, the Mariengarden Gymnasium . Today there are 12 fathers and brothers in the community (as of 2019), which is headed by Rector Father Martin Wolf OMI. The activity of the community extends to pastoral care and school pastoral care , the community also looks after a guest house with 130 places.
architecture
In 1220 the first oratorio was built. Church construction began around 1300. Initially only partially completed, construction was completed in 1474. After the destruction in the Thirty Years War, it was re-consecrated in 1682.
In the late 17th century, the east and north wings of the monastery building were built. The west wing was built in 1718/19. In 1752 a crypt was built south of the church. A few years later a new sacristy was built over the crypt. After the abolition of the monastery, parts of the east wing were demolished in 1823.
