history
Benedictine monastery
In the 9th century , a new Carolingian style church was built near Meiningen , which was consecrated to St. Michael and used for monastery purposes. However, the monastery only existed for around 100 years and then came to a standstill, but the Michaeliskirche has been preserved to this day.
Benedictine convent
It was not until the end of the 12th century that a monastery was founded by Benedictine nuns about 1,000 meters southeast of the village of Rohr, which was first mentioned in 1206. Berthold von Meiningen and his brothers transfer the bailiwick to the monastery with the deed in 1206. The monastery property grew through transfers, donations and purchases (e.g. transfer of Diemershain in 1269, parts of Dillstädts in 1271, purchase of Wichtshausen in 1275). After 1544 in the county of Henneberg , the Reformation was introduced, it came under Count Georg Ernst von Henneberg to secularization and dissolution of the monastery. A St. John's Church, which was newly built in the same place in the 17th century, has been preserved here . The monastery archive, believed to have been lost for centuries, with almost 100 medieval documents, was rediscovered in the state archive of Saxony-Anhalt by Jörg Brückner and the content was incorporated into the 2006 publication Regesten of the Archives of the Counts of Henneberg-Römhild by Johannes Mötsch .
