history
The foundation of the monastery at the beginning of the 12th century goes back to the Augustinian canons of Springiersbach . At the request of his daughter Gisela, the noble Egelolf gave Abbot Richard I von Springiersbach his castle house, a chapel and other possessions on a promontory near Bremm for the construction of a monastery - a donation that made it possible for him to have a church built. Stuben is first mentioned as ecclesia beati Nicolai de insula , around 1160 as sorores de Insula . In 1137 a large women's convent had settled here. The Archbishop of Trier, Albero, limited this in his confirmation of founding from 1137 to 100 women. The knight Heinrich von Ulmen (detectable 1202-1236) gave his sister Irmgard as head of the pin 1208, the reliquary (now in the Diocesan Museum of Limburg an der Lahn ) with cross particles and other relics , which he from the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) from Konstantin Opel brought would have. Since then, Stuben has attracted many pilgrims. A cruciform chapel was built around 1275 to worship the relic. Despite the economic decline, the monastery church and cross chapel were rebuilt from 1685 to 1687. In 1788 the monastery was converted into a free women's monastery and abolished in 1802. The monastery buildings were auctioned for demolition in 1820.
The storage library and other relics were brought to the right bank of the Rhine in the course of their flight from the French. It came to the Duke of Nassau-Weilburg, who gave it to the newly founded Diocese of Limburg in 1835, along with other Trier relics (including the St Peter's rod ) . (See Limburger Staurothek )
