The monastery Rode (also Monastery Roda or pen Klosterroda ) was a Norbertine - Canons in today Klosterrode in Blankenheim in Mansfeld-Südharz in Saxony-Anhalt . In the course of the Reformation it was converted into a manor .

history

It was founded around 1147 as a daughter monastery of Magdeburg's Liebfrauenstift by the burgraves of Magdeburg on the southern edge of the Harz Mountains and occupied by Premonstratensians . In 1181 the nobles of Querfurt became secular patrons of the monastery. In the 13th century, the Roda monastery was already stately and important property in the area and an estimated 100 canons .

In 1432 the neighboring Counts von Mansfeld took over the patronage of the monastery. The collegiate church burned down due to lightning around 1470 and was then rebuilt.

In April and early May 1525, in the course of the Peasants' War, there were also campaigns of rebellious peasants against the Roda monastery, whereupon the Premonstratensians fled their monastery. The monastery buildings were looted, but not destroyed, so that eight canons could return there.

When the Reformation was introduced in the Duchy of Saxony after the death of George the Bearded, the Rode Premonstratensian Monastery was also abolished in 1540 by the ducal office of Sangerhausen . In 1543, the Counts of Mansfeld bought the secularized monastery buildings from Duke Moritz of Saxony for 14,000 Meißnian guilders. The last provost, Petrus Meise, who was only elected in 1537, was taken over as the Count Mansfeld administrator of the monastery, which had been converted into a manor , and held this position until his death in 1558.

In 1567 the Counts of Mansfeld sold the Rode monastery property, for which the name Klosterrode (Closterrode) gradually emerged, to Otto Heinrich von Bodenhausen . From 1569 he built a mansion from the partially demolished monastery buildings, today's Old Castle . Building material was also obtained from the partial demolition of the unused monastery church. Nearly the estate was plundered several times from 1626 in the Thirty Years' War , it was desolate from 1630 to 1652 .

In 1659 it was sold by Kuno Ordomar von Bodenhausen to his son-in-law Werner von Alvensleben . In 1739 Johann Friedrich von Alvensleben and Joachim Werner von Alvensleben sold it to Adolph Friedrich von der Schulenburg .

According to Adolph Friedrich von der Schulenburg's will, his estates were divided up when his eldest son, Gebhard Werner von der Schulenburg , turned 25. In the lottery in 1748 Klosterrode fell to his youngest son, Albrecht Ludwig von der Schulenburg (1741-1784). He had a new mansion built between 1778 and 1783, the so-called New Castle . His marriage to Auguste von Stammer (1751–1809) in 1771 resulted in the only son and thus heir Friedrich Albrecht von der Schulenburg . Since his marriage to Armgard von der Schulenburg (1799-1883), a daughter of Alexander von der Schulenburg-Emden and Caroline von Alvensleben, remained childless, the Count's line Schulenburg-Klosterrode expired on his death in 1853. The property was then jointly owned by several members of the von der Schulenburg family from Wolfsburg , Beetzendorf and Detzel , until it was acquired by Werner von der Schulenburg in 1879 through compensation from the co-owners.

Werner von der Schulenburg sold Klosterrode in 1904 (formally in 1906) to the entrepreneur Max Müller for economic reasons. In 1928, the Hamburg- based margarine manufacturer Fauser acquired Gut Klosterrode from Max Müller's bankruptcy estate, but sold a large part of it again straight away. In 1936 the so-called New Castle , the new manor house built between 1778 and 1783, was blown up, and part of the property was given to 16 farmers from the region by the Sachsen-Anhalt settlement company. The rest of the property was bought by Dr. Lamprecht, from whom it was expropriated in 1945 as part of the land reform . The property was then given to the community and used in the GDR for residential purposes and as a day care center. In 1990 it was supposed to be sold for the purpose of gastronomic reuse, but this was not realized.
