The Johanniter coming Bokelesch is a former Johanniter coming . The monastery was in Bokelesch / Strücklingen on the Sagter Ems , a district of today's municipality of Saterland in the Cloppenburg district in Lower Saxony . The monastery chapel has been preserved from her. The upcoming one comprised the current localities Idafehn -Nord, Elisabethfehn -Nord, Ubbehausen , Osterhausen and Roggenberg with a total area of ​​8000 hectares.

history

The year the monastery was founded is unknown. The monastery was probably founded around the middle of the 13th century as a double monastery by Johannites from Burgsteinfurt . The monastery is mentioned for the first time in a document, the so-called Groninger settlement , from the year 1319. Until 1588 the monastery was managed by religious. The last Komtur Melchior Freiherr Droste zu Senden was murdered in Münster. The names of some of the subsequent tenants who played a role before the Thirty Years' War are still known, such as Johann Schemering, Bolenz Haj and Schulte-Coers, whose descendants were the main tenants until the end of the Coming (1960).

The Commandery remained subordinate to the Johanniter until 1803. By the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 Oldenburg came into the possession of the Muenster offices of Cloppenburg and Vechta and thus also of Bokelesch. For some years Bokelesch was administered from Cloppenburg. In 1820 Oldenburg took over the administration of the Kommende Bokelesch. In accordance with the provisions of Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig, the income of the commander was intended for Catholic church and school purposes in the duchy. During this time, Bokelesch and Ubbehausen on the left of the Sater Ems were politically assigned to the municipality of Strücklingen and the area on the right of the Sater-Ems - Osterhausen and Roggenberg - to the municipality of Barßel.
