Salbke Monastery Estate
The Salbke monastery estate was an estate in the Salbke district of Magdeburg .
history
The monastery property belonged to the monastery of Our Dear Women in Magdeburg. Various occasions the north in is Buckau based Klosterbergegarten suspected as the owner. However, such monastery property of the Berge monastery is not mentioned in the literature on the ownership of the monastery.
The place Salbke was often associated with possessions of monasteries in combination, for the first time 937 when Otto I the pin Quedlinburg goods poured in Salbke. In 1015 the monastery of Our Dear Women received land from Archbishop Gero Salbker, in 1189 the Munzenberg monastery near Goslar owned land in Salbke with a dairy and a free farm . A Vorwerk belonged to the Sionsberg monastery in Quedlinburg. Freihof and Vorwerk were sold to the monastery of Our Dear Women in 1515. At times the monastery farmed 520 acres of fields and 140 acres of meadow. The Kreuzhorst belonging to the monastery on the other side of the Elbe was also looked after from the monastery property . Access was via the monastery ferry . The Monastery Mill Salbke , which was founded in the 12th century, was also connected to the monastery property .
During the Schmalkaldic War of 1546/1547, Salbke also destroyed the monastic properties. On December 4, 1550, Magdeburg troops from the besieged city made a sortie by ship and drove between the enemy camps in Cracau and Buckau to Salbke. They looted the monastery courtyard and set it on fire, and the crew was taken prisoner. Remnants of the monastery property remained, however. In the 19th century, the former monastery was used as a farm. The complex was laid out as an irregular three-sided courtyard . In addition to a residential building, there was a sheepfold as well as two horse and ox stalls. The still preserved circular tower was called the pigeon pillar. It was created between the 18th and the first half of the 19th century. The round arched gate to the west of the tower dates from the 19th century . The tower, wall and gate are built from rubble stones , although it can be assumed that the building material came from demolitions of medieval or early modern buildings.
In 1781 Christian Gottfried Böckelmann , later Mayor of Westerhüsen , leased the monastery property before he took over his father's farm at today's Kieler Strasse 9 in Westerhüsen in 1793 . Since at least 1894 the estate has belonged to the owners of the saccharine plant in Fahlberg-List . They intended to build a copper extraction plant on the farm , but the plans were never implemented. Instead, apartments were built on the site. The tower was used as a laundry room after renovation and the incorporation of two windows.
The independent Salbke manor district emerged from the estate . In addition to the West Elbe estate, the East Elbe Kreuzhorst also belonged to this district, which did not belong to the municipality of Salbke. On April 1, 1903, the west Elbe part of the manor district was incorporated into Salbke. The Ostelbische remained in existence until 1928 and was then connected to Magdeburg.
In 1960 the area was taken over by the state-owned company Fahlberg-List, but the stables and barn fell into disrepair, so that they later had to be declared dilapidated.
Leftovers
Today only the tower and a stone wall of the monastery are preserved. The name of the adjacent street Klosterhof refers to the old monastery property.
