Osterreide monastery
The Osterreide monastery is a former Augustinian monastery in East Friesland that perished when the Dollart was created . It was staffed exclusively with nuns. It was located in the eponymous village at the confluence of the Reider Ee in the Ems on the East Frisian side of the former border river.
The sources on the history of the monastery are sparse. It is mentioned for the first time in 1376 when several chiefs , including Ocko I. tom Brok, mediated between the chaplain of the Margaret Chapel in Dykhusen and the nuns of the monastery together with the pastor from the north (at the time official of the Bishop of Bremen in East Friesland) . In return for compensation, the chaplain left the chapel to the order so that the order could found a new monastery in Dykhusen. Two years later it is reported in the Norder Annalen that nuns from Osterreide have moved into the new monastery. In the 15th century, Easter cereal was mentioned several times in wills, so it probably existed parallel to the daughter monastery in Dykkhusen. It is mentioned for the last time in 1492. There are no other sources on the history of the monastery. Easter grain was probably lost in the storm surges at the beginning of the 16th century.
