Upcoming Heiselhusen
The Coming Heiselhusen (also known as Heiselhusen Monastery ) was an order house of the Order of St. John . It was near Campen , a district of today's municipality of Krummhörn in East Frisia .
history
The monastery emerged from a former Vorwerk of the Kommende Goldhorn, which sank in the Dollart at the end of the 15th century (today not far from Finsterwolde in the Netherlands), which is first mentioned in 1319. This Coming received in 1421 from the East Frisian chieftain Brunger of Loquard the uninhabited mound Heiselhusen given.
In 1446 the Vorwerk was economically so successful and so involved in disputes with the parent company, which was slowly sinking into the dollar, that the Frisian master, together with the two Frisian commissioners, raised it to an independent commander on June 20, effective July 12, 1446 . Goldhorn was gradually abandoned in the following years.
Heiselhusen was a double. 1446 nuns are mentioned there for the first time. The terp on which the woman was standing was divided into two parts by a watercourse. The church and cemetery were probably on the northern half, while the sister house was probably built on the smaller, southern half. The basis of economic activity was the keeping of cattle on the 300 or so grasses of land that belonged to the commander.
Towards the end of the 15th century the Kommende seems to have run down economically, because it was incorporated into the Kommende Abbingwehr after 1492 . The latter leased the lands of the Coming and sold the buildings for demolition. In the course of the Reformation , the East Frisian Count Enno II appropriated Abbingwehr with Heiselhusen in 1528, as did the other branches of the Order of St. John in East Frisia. He had the residents chased away and the settlements plundered. With the exception of small remains, the archive was completely lost. The count apparently used an older sovereign protective power over the order.
