List of the Abbesses of Quedlinburg

Abbey building in Quedlinburg from the west

The abbess of Quedlinburg ruled the woman pen Quedlinburg of 966 until its suspension in the course of Reichsdeputationshauptschluss circuit in 1803. The monastery has been 936 by Otto I. founded. The original idea for this probably came from his mother, Queen Mathilde (* around 895 in Enger ; † March 14, 968 in Quedlinburg), who had been educated in the Herford women's monastery until 909 . Queen Mathilde and her husband Heinrich I had tried the convent of Wendhusen monastery before 936to move to Quedlinburg in order to found a women's foundation there. However, this failed because of the resistance of the Wendhusener canonesses , especially the local abbess Diemot. So the Quedlinburger Stift was occupied by other women. For the first 30 years, Queen Mathilde presided over him as the widow of King Henry I, but without having been ordained an abbess. Only her granddaughter, a daughter of Otto I the Great and also named Mathilde after her grandmother, was ordained first abbess in 966.

Like the abbesses of Essen , von Gandersheim , von Herford or von Vreden , the Quedlinburg abbesses, as imperial duchesses of the Holy Roman Empire, had their own seat on the diet . In 1641 these imperial monasteries, which were not located in the so-called Swabian district and organized in the Rhenish Imperial Prelate College, applied for their own curate vote.

The abbesses of Quedlinburg had to pass several major tests in the almost 900 years in which the monastery existed on the Quedlinburger Schlossberg . First of all, they had to cope with the loss of importance when the royal and imperial rulers stopped visiting from the 13th century. Then in 1477 the citizens of the city of Quedlinburg opposed their city mistress by force of arms. Abbess Hedwig of Saxony asked her brothers, the Wettin dukes Ernst and Albrecht , for help. The troops sent stormed the city without any losses of their own. Thereupon the citizens submitted and withdrew from all alliances. Even during the vacancy of the abbess's chair from 1704 to 1718, the monastery was in a threatening situation.

In total, the abbess list is counted with 39 abbesses. Queen Mathilde (936–966) and Aurora von Königsmark (1704–1718) ran the monastery without having been abbesses. The names of the two abbesses Eilica (1095–1110) and Meregart (1160–1161) are only attested by coin finds, but not passed down in a document.
