List of places owned by the St. Marienthal Monastery
The list includes places and parts of places that were owned by the Cistercian Abbey of St. Marienthal Monastery . The monastery was in 1234 in the then to Bohemia belonging Oberlausitz founded. In contrast to the communities in the area, some localities remained Catholic even after the Reformation (in particular Blumberg, Grunau, Königshain, Rusdorf, Schönfeld and the monastery part of Seitendorf), while others became Protestant. From around 1560, the places were subordinate to an administrator of the Meißen diocese based in Bautzen at St. Petri Cathedral . The first administrator of Upper and Lower Lusatia was Johann Leisentrit . The type of monastery came to the Electorate of Saxony in the Peace of Prague in 1635 together with Upper Lusatia .
From 1815, through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna, over 40% of the places became Prussian as a result of the division of the Kingdom of Saxony and from 1821 belonged to the Archdiocese of Wroclaw through the papal bull De salute animarum . The remainder of the Meißen diocese in Upper Lusatia in Saxony was often referred to as the Apostolic Prefecture (Upper) Lusatia and became part of the 1921 re-established diocese based in Bautzen. The places east of the Lusatian Neisse are today in the Republic of Poland .
