Coming Burlage

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kommende Burlage was an East Frisian order house of the Johanniter . Little is known about their history. The archive and library were lost after the Reformation. The desolation of the order settlement has not yet been archaeologically examined. The coming was about seventeen kilometers south-southeast of Leer and a good eleven kilometers east of Papenburg at an altitude of about two meters above sea ​​level .

With the other branches of Johanniter in East Friesland, Burlage was first mentioned in 1319 as Buyrle . However, there is no further evidence of independence. Burlage later became a Vorwerk der Kommende Langholt . After the Reformation there were repeated disputes between the East Frisian Count House and the Order of St. John about the legal ownership of the former commander. In the contract of Leer of 1574 it was finally determined that the former Johanniterkommenden Langholt (with Burlage) and Hasselt should remain the property of the order and the future tenants should be Protestants. The Order of St. John, represented by the St. John Commandery in Burgsteinfurt , awarded the Vorwerk with the old stone house to hereditary tenants. It was not until 1807 that these goods were confiscated by order of Ludwig Napoleon , King of Holland , to whom East Frisia was subject at that time, and thus became a state domain .
