history

The Cistercian monastery Wollin was donated in 1288 by the Pomeranian Duke Bogislaw IV with the consent of his brothers Barnim II and Otto I in the town of Wollin on the island of Wollin northeast of the Szczecin Lagoon in memory of his deceased parents. It was a daughter monastery of the Cistercian monastery in Stettin , with whose nuns it was first occupied. The foundation of the monastery, including the Wollin churches that had been donated to it, was confirmed in the same year by Camminer Bishop Hermann von Gleichen and again in 1297 by Camminer Bishop Peter . At the same time as the founding of the monastery, the city council of Wollin had given the nuns the " Borchwall " in front of the city as a building site for the construction of their monastery complex and also authorized them to keep shoemakers, wool weavers and tanners among their servants for their own needs. In 1306, however, with the approval of the council, the nunnery was relocated to another, newly purchased location on the waterfront and within the city's reinforcement ( juxta aquas infra plancas civitatis ).

In 1302 and 1303, nuns occupied the monastery of Krummin on the island of Usedom as a branch of the Wollin monastery, which was the second monastery located on Usedom, alongside the Grobe monastery, which was moved to Pudagla a few years later .

In 1317, Duke Wartislaw IV gave the Wollin monastery patronage over the town school and sextonry of Wollin, so that the abbess and the monastery provost had to appoint the sexton and the school teacher.

One of the main purposes of the nunnery in Wollin was not least to care for unmarried daughters of the Pomeranian nobility. Duke Bogislaw himself brought his daughter Jutta into the monastery in 1299, who died there in 1366 - consequently after a stay in the monastery of 67 years. She had become the abbess of the monastery. In 1490, Duke Bogislaw X made his beautiful sister, Princess Maria, abbess, although she said she would have preferred to marry a nobleman. Among other things, she made a contribution to Pomerania by promoting Johannes Bugenhagen and letting him study. Shortly before the Reformation , Hypolita Countess von Eberstein was given to the Wollin monastery by her brothers, who owned the Naugard estate in Pomerania.

After the Pomeranian dukes had decided to accept the Lutheran doctrine at a state parliament held in Treptow an der Rega in December 1534, the monastery lacked young people and the nuns gradually died out. Around the year 1560 the monastery was dissolved and its possessions passed to the lordly office of Wollin .
