Mariental Monastery (Steinheim an der Murr)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mariental Monastery in Steinheim an der Murr was donated and founded in 1254 by Elisabeth von Blankenstein (née von Steinheim) and her husband Berthold von Blankenstein .

King Adolf von Nassau takes over the bailiwick of Steinheim Monastery, June 25, 1294.

The time up to the foundation and establishment in 1254

In 1235 Elisabeth von Steinheim received the patronage right of the church in Steinheim after a legal dispute between Count Alwig and Berthold von Sulz and Elisabeth's father Albert von Steinheim.

After Elisabeth von Steinheim's first marriage (during which she was named Elisabeth von Hohenriet or Elisabeth von Heinriet ), a second marriage followed with Berthold von Blankenstein. In order for this second marriage to be valid before the Church, the approval of Pope Innocent IV , which was granted on April 4, 1251, was required. On the same day, the Pope also approved the foundation of the Steinheim monastery. Due to the fact that Elisabeth von Steinheim was already married once, it is assumed that the marriage permit had to be supported by the foundation of the monastery.

The monastery was finally donated in 1254. The foundation included a. the patronage of the church in Steinheim, the place Jux (Spiegelberg) and other possessions. The rule of Augustine was laid down as the basis for living together in the monastery .

A nun in the monastery was named Burcsint von Heinriet, whose mother was born Blankenstein. Thus Elisabeth von Steinheim was related to this nun twice: once through Elisabeth's first husband Gerung von Heinriet (Gerung von Hohenriet) and again through her second husband, Berthold von Blankenstein.
