The monastery Rengering , actually Marie book , is a former Cistercian abbey in today Milte , but historically Ostbevern in North Rhine-Westphalia expected. The monastery was founded in the 13th century and at the beginning of the 19th century, as a result of secularization , it was closed and then destroyed.
history
founding
“The Cistercian convent Marienbuch in Rengering was founded by Bishop Ludolf von Münster [1226–1247] towards the end of his term in office in the eastern Münsterland near the border with the Diocese of Osnabrück. The location, a curia of the Münster church, was donated by the episcopal ministerial Hermann von Rengering. The exact founding circumstances are not known, as some early documents have been lost. The oldest surviving document for the convent is a privilege granted by Pope Innocent IV on April 17, 1247, with which he took all persons belonging to the monastery, the monastery itself and all countries, possessions and goods under his protection. Since a certain amount had to be paid for the issuance of the certificate, the convention should have existed for a number of years at this point and had a certain amount of property. "
Thus the date and the exact circumstances of the establishment are unknown. It was donated by the knight Hermann von Rengering on his farm in Rengering as the Cistercian convent Marienbuch in honor of the Mother of God on the north bank of the Bever . The co-founder of Münster, Ludolf von Holte (1226–1247), is likely to have been one of the founders . On April 17, 1247 Pope Innocent IV issued a letter of protection for the monastery; the oldest document proving the existence of the monastery. The founding name Marienbuch has not been able to establish itself, however; The monastery became known under the corridor or under the name of the farm: Rengering.
Rengering and Vinnenberg: the double foundation on the Bever
The founders of the Rengering monastery founded the Vinnenberg monastery after less than ten years . The Vinnenberg monastery and the Rengering monastery are connected around 4.7 kilometers via the Beverstrang. The reason was the unfavorable conditions that the Rengering monastery had encountered in the first ten years of its establishment: While the two brothers of the founder, Bernhard and Johann von Vinnenberg, agreed to the foundation, two other relatives, Hermann and Albero, were looking for it young foundation in 1252 through robbery and fire, but reconciled with the monastery in 1253 in return for compensation of five silver marks. It is assumed that this early dispute initiated or at least promoted the foundation of the Vinnenberg monastery. There is a possibility that when the Vinnenberg monastery was founded in 1256, the Rengering monastery should be abandoned. But in 1257 Pope Alexander IV asked the General Chapter of the Cistercians to formally admit the Rengering Monastery to the order. This possible inheritance dispute between the two brothers was also processed in the founding legend of Vinnenberg .
Construction, Reformation, Faith Controversy and War
The monastery had a provost or provisional officer for its legal transactions - the first was Bruno - who were mostly provided by the Marienfeld monastery . At first they lived in great poverty and later, despite some donations from the 13th to the 15th century, they hardly owned any real estate. On August 1, 1340, a certain Gertrund, widow of Hermannus von Bevern , determined that the Rottwinkel farm, which was taxable to the Bevern family, had to pay the monastery two malter wheat to fulfill the annual memory of her deceased husband . Over the centuries, numerous daughters from knight and patrician families entered the abbey and lived from their manual labor. A contemporary describes monastic life:
"[...] the pious monastery women [...] solely, as the monastic profession demands, the service of God and the works of charity, constantly striving for their own perfection [...]"
In the 15th century Rengering held, like other monasteries also no retreat more. On July 14, 1422 the monastery was opened
“Vorbrandt Dorch a pension master, de se [the sisters] reformers ought to be because of the bishopric. But as a result nothing na, se bleven nha as before. Nochtan's long darna been plumbing [d. H. Received exam again] a. D. 1480 "
In the centuries of its existence, the monastery has been the cultural center of the region. The abbess von Rengering intervened with her authority during the Thirty Years' War , when the feudal lord Schenking von Bevern clearly exceeded his rights towards the serfs, and bravely brought an action against the lord of the castle on behalf of those without rights. The files of the State Archive in Münster show that the monastery, in the person of its provost, Father Gerhard de Wendt, arbitrated right-handers.
“Prothocoll was a deß Closters Rengerinck and its own disputed matters ./. it's holtzhawen, hutdrift, plaggenmät, storffstich, damage inflicted and devastation of the country or the like ./. contracts and compare annotated and marked "
During the monastery visitation of the abbots von Hardehausen and von Marienfeld on October 10, 1670, it was noted that the abbess had to pay strict attention to wearing the Cistercian habit (white tunic with black scapular and white cowl ), as had been ordered in 1602 and 1650 . Church and monastery suffered severe fire damage during the Thirty Years' War; In 1636 Rengering was looted four times. At the visitation of 1698 the monastery had eleven choir and four lay sisters in addition to the abbess .
Until the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss
The monastery was known for its hospital. The abbots of Klosters Marienfeld were also treated here. Abbot Wilhelmus Crone died there on September 15, 1784, as did his successor on July 19, 1795, Stephanus Pöttken , who was buried in the monastery church. The goods of the monastery were mainly in the parishes of Ostbevern and Milte . At times the monastery also had properties at Enniger and Laer .

With the support of the monastery, a women's poor house could be maintained in Ostbevern, whereby the monastery also had the right to a place there.
The end of the monastery from 1803-1813
Secularization under Prussian rule
In 1803, as part of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the Prince Diocese of Münster came into the possession of Prussia , which had already occupied the country militarily in 1802. The new state government initially assured the preservation of the monasteries. The senior bailiff from Benghem, who is responsible for secularization , conscientiously notes:
“[...] You don't stop praying, singing, etc. Hold the choir, secundum regulam Sancti Benedicti , but also dedicate himself to the noble occupation of teaching the female youth, regardless of religion, and the care of sickly and frail people, [...] [also] one has to deal with the education of the Employed rural youth who are given lessons in reading, writing and arithmetic by the monastery organist. [...] "
On July 4, 1803, King Friedrich Wilhelm III. a decree after which the monastery should continue to exist if it meets the following conditions:
- "[...] the convention must promise to submit to all other entertainments and to pay them to the ... state treasury at the same time as all duties, taxes, praestations and acceses that have been paid so far and will be deemed necessary in the future."
- "[...] the same imposes a wealth tax of 150 Rthlr [annually], the money is to be paid to the organization coffers"
- "[...] the Freuleins have to have the work that they or their wage servants cannot do [...] done by craftsmen [...] from the city or province." (According to mercantilism , it was forbidden to assign work to the Abroad of Prussia)
- "[...] [...] no novices may be admitted without local approval and approval."
- "[...] so that the [...] prosperity of the convent [is] secured, [...] Sr. Royal Majesty [...] want the provost Pöttken to be appointed administrator of the monastery, and only after this good housekeeper has left the assumption of a secular administrator make it a duty. "
- "[...] the King's Majesty reserves the right to set up more appropriate institutions in the future in the educational institutions of the monastery [provided] for girls of the educated class and the middle class, and at the same time an institute for educators for female youth to form in it. "
- "One expects [besides] the [...] admission of needy, miserable people, that [...] the convent will accept the current clergyman as a pensioner in the event that he can no longer provide worship and administration."
From the statements of Oberamtmann Benghems it can be inferred that all “Fräuleins declared with the most grateful hearts to accept these conditions and vowed to be mindful of the given regulations in all points [...] also the Probst Pöttken let himself be heard, [...] like him I would very much like to take over the administration of the monastery, as long as heaven gives him the strength to do so. But time was running out for the Rengerning monastery; The conditions show that the promise of receipt is not irrevocable, but that people in Berlin do not yet quite know what to do with the monastery, which has simply fallen to them. The institution is well run and the school has an excellent reputation. So one is already thinking about continuing as an institute for educators. ”In fact, the monastery was doomed to extinction, because the admission of new novices , which was bound by“ sovereign approval and approbation ” , was refused on October 12, 1805, as the abbess of Grevingen asked the Prussian king to accept one or two novices. Then there were the oppressive duties and taxes.
Mediatization under the Grand Duchy of Berg
In the course of the Napoleonic conquests , the area was placed under French administration in January 1808 after the defeat of Prussia near Jena and Auerstedt . Immediately to the east, with the department of the Weser, the newly created Kingdom of Westphalia was established under Napoleon's brother. On its western border, Rengering and Vinnenberg were added to the Ems department in the Grand Duchy of Berg . Rengering was thus in the outermost corner of the newly created Grand Duchy. The new rulers immediately began to dissolve the two convents . The same officials were responsible for this: In a letter dated October 28, 1808, she wrote to the administrative college in Münster:
"[...] Incidentally, the circumstances of this year and last were so oppressive and the taxes so frequent and large that they could not possibly be financed from the abbey's low income, and [...] a capital debt was inevitably necessary [ …] In 1807 alone, the abbey received a total of 374 Rthlr , 23 Gr. 9 pfennigs were paid and, in addition to that, oats, hay and straw had to be delivered for more than 150 Rthlr; this exceeds the powers of the house of God. "
In addition there was a sum of 1198 Reichstalers , which the monastery had to reimburse the pastor of Ostbevern, Vahlkamp. The money had been borrowed in 1770 to get over the war contributions of the Seven Years' War . On November 12, 1808, the Minister of the Grand Duchy of Berg , probably Jacques Claude Beugnot , ordered the inventory of the silver works, the sacristy utensils, the library with books, manuscripts, medals, paintings, etc. This practically ended the monastery’s independence. When the inventory was taken on December 15, 1808, the monastery property comprised around 300 acres of gardens, fields, meadows and forest; the debts as a result of the collections in the Seven Years' War amounted to around 4,431 Reichstaler. On December 19, 1809, Friedrich Clemens Freiherr von Elverfeldt, called Beverförde zu Werries , who had recently moved to Ostbevern, sent his superior a list of all individuals in the monastery to the interim prefect Karl Josef von Mylius in Münster . On December 31, 1809 at 10 a.m. (14 hours before the end), the confessor and administrator provost Robert Pöttken died of dropsy at the age of 61 and was the last to be buried in the Rengering monastery cemetery.
“The Rengering Monastery was regarded by the authorities as a very well-run spiritual house. This was not the case at all with many other monasteries. The reputation of the large Cistercian monastery in Marienfeld was classified as negative by the state authorities when it was dissolved in 1803. In contrast, none of the women's monasteries on the Bever had a really good reputation compared to the many other monasteries in the Münsterland. This was mainly thanks to Father Robert Pöttken, who, with the consent of the government, was responsible for the administration and accounting practically until his death and the end of the monastery. "
Expropriation under the Ems department
With the creation of the Département Ems it became clear that this area should not be occupied by France in the short term , but should be incorporated in the long term . On January 1, 1810, the monastery was classified as state property on paper. On January 6, 1810, in addition to Abbess Marianne von Grevingen, there were five choir sisters and four lay sisters at Rengering, making it only a little smaller than the Vinnenberg monastery. On January 9, 1810, after a last meeting, the common table was lifted in the monastery. H. from then on everyone had to take care of themselves. The nuns, if they were of aristocratic origin, probably traveled to their families in the following days. Some lay sisters who did not know where to find shelter were allowed to stay on site for a while. They were later taken into families in Ostbevern.
Seizure, distribution and repossession
On January 17, 1810 a lot of objects were publicly in an auction by auction. The sales log classifies most of them as worthless; the revenues achieved were correspondingly low. The taste of the times had changed and works of art from the Middle Ages were viewed as something out of date. The same thing happened about seven years later with the Warendorf Altar . Interestingly, the record shows the sale of a picture of the monastery for 20 groschen to a buyer named Preckel from Warendorf. On March 1, 1810, the interim prefect Karl Josef von Mylius , Friedrich Clemens Freiherr von Elverfeldt called Beverförde zu Werries, asked him to send over 40 valuable devotional objects from the monastery; what he did to the letter of receipt. On August 31, 1810, Beverförde-Werries sent a list of other sacred objects from the monastery. These included a large and two smaller altars, a sermon chair, a bench for communists, 16 benches in the church, a confessional, an organ with accessories, a large and a small bell with ropes, a clock, "two chro stations with eight desks" and one Closet in the sacristy . On September 14, 1810, he replied from Münster to Beverförde-Werries:
"[...] I ask you to take the necessary precautions after consultation with the rent manager Reinharz, that the effects are kept under safe supervision [...] [and the same] are not given away for the use of the residents living in the neighborhood [...]"
From the sale of the last harvest and the lease money, a surplus was achieved in 1810. On December 1, 1810, the remaining silver items were transferred to Düsseldorf , the capital of the Grand Duchy of Berg, to be melted down. It was also officially repealed on that day. For unexplained reasons, a monstrance and a silver cross came from the church equipment to the parish church of St. Ambrosius in Ostbevern.
Demolition and appropriation in the canton of Ostbevern
Some monastery buildings were demolished soon after the lifting. When Napoleon ceded all areas of the Grand Duchy of Berg north of a line from Haltern to Sassenberg in 1811 , the Ems department was restructured. The southern parts of the department remaining in the Grand Duchy of Berg were annexed to the Ruhr department on January 1, 1812 . The northern parts are incorporated into the French Empire as Département de l'Ems-Supérieur . After the Tauroggen Convention had initiated the wars of liberation , von Beverförde-Werries, who had meanwhile risen to Mairie and responsible for the canton of Ostbevern , wrote a letter to his new Prefect Karl von Keverberg in Osnabrück on January 30, 1813 :
“At the Rengering monastery there are still two buildings, […] 1. the nuns' apartment or the actual monastery building, 2. the church. Both are empty because after the monastery was closed, the nuns moved away and the service started. - The former administrator Reinharz […] has a certain Caspar Gronhorst employed as guardian of these buildings, who lives in the church for free. This man shows me, however, that they are not only decaying more every day through the ravages of time […], but are also incredibly ruined by evil people, regardless of his supervision […]. So z. B. he said, doors, windows and floorboards were stolen and other things, besides that of wanton whites, were spoiled. When I asked him to arrest some of the perpetrators, he replied that almost all of the tenants there were implicated, but that he had no witnesses and was therefore not allowed to name them, especially since they had probably threatened him with death. Since the monastery buildings are in your Maire district, I must [...] ask you to [protect] the [buildings] from further devastation by means of a publicandum to be read out "
In the first decade after the abolition, there was great uncertainty about the situation, both politically and, as a result, in terms of property law. This transitional period with its wars and confusion and hardship was the fate of the rest of the monastery property of Rengering. It was only with the Congress of Vienna (1815) that the conditions for orderly conditions in Westphalia could be created. It must also be borne in mind that the state authorities, which kept themselves harmless from the monastery assets to finance the Fifth Coalition War , triggered a corresponding attempt to imitate the population. This makes the bigoted attitude clear when Friedrich Clemens von Beverförde zu Werries complains about the “theft” of floorboards in a place where three years earlier he had confiscated all precious metal devotional objects for his own benefit .
“The French bet on the Baron von Beverförde-Werries, who had recently bought the bankrupt property of Loburg . As mayor or mayor by the grace of France, the young baron carried out the orders of the French government. "
Caspar Gronhorst died in the summer of 1815. So there was no one at all to stop the wild breakup. From then on it went on uncontrollably, because in the end the stones were valuable as building material. When old buildings are demolished in the Rengering area, sandstones that have been hewn from the foundation can still be fetched from the ground to this day. After more than half a millennium of beneficial work under the sign of the Enlightenment and progress in ten eventful years , the Rengering Monastery was literally torn apart and dismembered by all those involved out of profit-seeking, although it was for poor relief, health care, school education and pastoral care in Ostbevern there was no adequate replacement, not to mention the loss of the library, archive material, and art and cultural assets. The property was subsequently sold by Prussia in three complexes. Today, two courtyards of 140 acres each were formed from this, and the brewery and Bauhaus became residential buildings. In contrast to the Vinnenberg monastery , this made it impossible for monastic life to flourish again.
description
The extensive trenches and ponds have disappeared today; the river Bever can still be seen as a swampy ditch. The former mill puddle has become a pond. The monastery bridge with the statue of Nepomuk was also preserved . The Donatusgarten, probably a fruit and vegetable garden, is now arable land. The statue of Donatus is in Ostbevern today. A. Twiehaus has reconstructed a site plan from the current findings with surviving news: All that is known about the church is that it had a pan roof and a clapboard-covered tower, probably a roof turret as was customary for a Cistercian convent . This was followed by a two-storey “Fräuleinhaus”, in which the choir women lived with the lay sisters. This was connected to the two-winged abbey building, the seat of the abbess von Rengering, by an adjoining wing. The cemetery was located on the north side of the church. The massive father house was the domicile of the clergyman von Rengering. In the half-timbered guest house , guests, the sick and the infirm were taken in and looked after . There was also a gatehouse with a half-timbered carriage house, a brewery and a Bauhaus - both of which were timber-framed. After the secularization, these two buildings became the houses of the two “monastery courtyards”. In the northeast of the 48 closes hectares large state forest Rengering on.
Holdover
- The statue of St. Nepomuk is still on the bridge railing of the Mühlbach, which was branched off from the Bever to operate the mill.
- The baptism of Jesus is a half-relief with the size of 80 × 80 cm. On the head of John the Baptist you can see a picture of the monastery. After the monastery was demolished, it came into the possession of the Schmalbrock-Loddenkötter family in Ostbevern. Then it was bought by Eduard Silge, who left it to the parish in the early 1880s. On the head of the Baptist there is said to be a representation of the Rennering Abbey.
- A Madonna with the child finally received through the Joseph Glüns family through Anna Maria Burlage in the Siemann family in Ostbevern
- A bell 36 cm high has been preserved in the Schultenhof in Ostbevern.

- Remains of a communion bench, an expositorium from the monastery and an altar stone are preserved in the parish archive of St. Ambrosius in Ostbevern. The parish also owns some of the monastery's old vestments. On the wall behind the baptismal font there is a stone relief of the baptism of Jesus , which once hung in the monastery; also a monstrance and a lecture cross.
- A reliquary of St. Gereon is today in the Gereon Chapel in Schulze-Althoff, southeast of Ostbevern.
- A stone slab with a crucifixion scene (around 1500) can be found in a wayside shrine in a courtyard in Milte.
- The Pietà from the Chapel of the Sorrowful Mother is in Ostbevern.
- In the LWL Museum for Art and Culture there is a large altar relief with the Lamentation of Christ made of limewood, 167 cm high and 150 cm wide.
