Marienthron Monastery

The monastery Marienthron was a monastery of the Augustinian hermits , which existed from the 14th to the 16th century near Neustettin in Pomerania .

The monastery was in 1356 by the Pomeranian dukes Bogislaw V. , Barnim IV. And Wartislaw V. founded. The occasion was the subsidence of a plague epidemic , the dukes acted in memory of their parents Wartislaw IV and Elisabeth. The dukes assigned the Augustinian monastery in Stargard to a site south of the city of Neustettin on the Streitzigsee for the construction of this new monastery. The facilities of the monastery included the Great Liepensee , the Vordere Liepensee and the Middle Liepensee as well as 50 Hufen Land. The wife of Duke Bogislaw V, Elisabeth , and the wife of Duke Barnim IV, Sophie, were buried in the monastery.

The monastery joined the German Congregation of the Augustinians.

The Reformation was first announced in Neustettin by a former monk of the monastery, Paulus Klotze. The monastery died with the Reformation. Part of the income was by Duke Barnim IX. transferred to the parish church. The monastery farm came into secular possession. The stones of the now dilapidated monastery church were used in 1579 to build a tower for the parish church; in 1588 the monastery church disappeared.

Today no remains of the monastery are visible above ground.

The farm of the former monastery appeared later (1784) as a knight-free Vorwerk. The small village of Marienthron developed out of it and before 1945 it was a place to live in the rural community of Hütten near Gellin .
