The coming situation was a coming of the Order of St. John and Maltese in the area of ​​today's municipality of Rieste in Lower Saxony . It existed from the middle of the 13th century to 1810 and, along with Steinfurt, is one of the most important branches of the order in north-west Germany.

history

middle Ages

Count Otto I. von Tecklenburg donated a court in 1245 to the Order of St. John. Before 1260, the settlement of the Johanniter began there, in 1262 twelve religious lived in Lage. In the following decades, Lage grew to become the largest branch in the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Ballei , in 1341 45 Johanniter were already based there. In the 14th century, the pilgrimage to the Kreuz camp , a crucifix consecrated in 1315 , which is now in the church of St. John the Baptist , began.

In connection with a feud with the county of Tecklenburg , the Osnabrück prince-bishop Dietrich von Horne demanded two tithes from the Johannitern camps in 1377 . After the religious, who had actually been exempt from secular taxes, refused to do so, the bishop attacked the commander in February 1384 from his neighboring Vörden castle , making the buildings uninhabitable and driving the Johanniter out. As a result, Dietrich von Horne was banned from church . After a long dispute, he returned the location to the Order of St. John in 1395 and provided support for the reconstruction of those who came. In the period that followed, however, this no longer achieved its former importance; in 1491, six friars lived in Lage in addition to the Commander- in-Chief.

After the Reformation

After the Reformation , the Coming location, next to remained monastery Malgarten , a Catholic enclave in an otherwise Protestant become parish Bramsche .

The Thirty Years' War had a strong impact on those to come. It was first raided and looted in 1615 and 1622. In 1626 a Danish army under Johann Ernst von Sachsen-Weimar quartered itself in Lage on the way to Osnabrück . From 1627 to 1642, Swedes held the Kommende permanently and the buildings were again badly damaged.

Under the command of Johann Jakob von Pallandt (term of office 1646 to 1693), new buildings were built for those coming after the war. In the period that followed, there were hardly any friars living in the Kommende apart from the Commander. After the end of the Holy Roman Empire , the Coming Situation was lifted in 1810 and should be sold in support of the Order of the Westphalian Crown under Jérôme Bonaparte , but this did not materialize.

After the end of French rule, the Kommende fell into the possession of the Hanover monastery chamber . In 1964 the buildings were sold and converted into a hotel and restaurant. In 1999, the bishop of Osnabrück bought the Coming and taught there a convent of Dominican nuns one.

Coming building

The surviving committees were built between 1657 and 1660, after being damaged in the Thirty Years' War. Originally it was a four-wing complex on an almost square floor plan. The surrounding forces were connected with one arm of the hare . The north wing was demolished in the 19th century and the northern moat that separated the complex from the church in front was filled in. The west, south and east wings as well as the northwest tower have been preserved . A bridge leads from the gatehouse wing on the west side over the Hase, in the south wing there is a knight's hall .

Church building

Parish and pilgrimage church of St. John the Baptist

A house chapel in the Kommende was first mentioned in 1260. At the beginning of the 14th century, a church was built outside the command building, which was destroyed in the attack of Osnabrück Prince-Bishop Dietrich von Horne in 1384. The Church of St. John the Baptist was built at the beginning of the 15th century and consecrated in 1426 .

After the Peace of Westphalia , St. John the Baptist also functioned as a parish church for the Catholic population in the area. In 1659 the church was renovated. After the dissolution of the Kommende in 1815, the parish of Lage-Rieste was recognized. 1902–1904 and 1960–1962 the church building was expanded.
