Zissendorf Monastery
The Zissendorf Monastery was a Cistercian monastery in what is today the district of Stossdorf in the city of Hennef . Today it is run as the »Gut Zissendorf Specialist Clinic«.
history
The monastery was founded in Blankenberg in 1247 .
In 1563 it was reported that the nuns in the Zissendorf monastery had withdrawn their habitat, had left the church for ceremonies, but had chanted in German . Nor did they want to be obedient to the abbot of Heisterbach . In 1565 the nuns declared that they did not want to put on their habit again. They wanted to use their mouths, they didn't understand Latin . Thereupon they were interned by the duke, the monastery key handed over to the abbess and the monastery files handed over to the bailiff of Blankenberg . In 1644 the monastery and the monastery church were destroyed by fire.
In 1654 a new altar was created by the Bonn painter Tilman Krull. The church was used again from around 1670 after the new building. In 1671 the adjoining cloister was built. In 1673, the entire monastery convent joined the Arch Brotherhood of Maria-Seelen-Hilf in Bonn. In 1803 the monastery was secularized and used as a manor. In 1934 it was bought by the Cologne cigarette manufacturer Heinrich Neuerburg .
In 1959 the site was acquired by Caritas for 200,000 DM . In May 1960 she opened the Sankt Mechthild addiction clinic for alcohol-dependent women.
