Magdalenenstift (Hildesheim)
The Magdalenenstift "in the bowl basket" was a canon pen on the cathedral courtyard in Hildesheim . It existed from 1307 to 1810. The collegiate chapel was demolished in 1827.
prehistory
In 1046 the Hildesheim Cathedral was destroyed by fire. Bishop Azelin began a new building west of the ruins, which was abandoned under Bishop Hezilo ; instead, the cathedral was rebuilt on the Altfrid foundations. Hezilo had a bishop's court built on the foundations created by Azelin's reconstruction plan . A chapel was built on the north side of the episcopal residence of Hezilos. In the second half of the 12th century a second chapel was built in the courtyard. Under Siegfried II († 1310), the second chapel was demolished to expand the residence. At the same time, a third chapel was built in honor of St. Mary Magdalene .
Foundation and equipment
This chapel was raised to the rank of a canon church . It was endowed with four canons. For maintenance was St. Andrew obliged at the same time the pin had four hooves in Rethen as sinecures . The founding deed was lost, the year of foundation has been handed down in 1307. The coat of arms showed a standing Maria Magdalena. The inscription read Sigillum canonicorum capellae episcopalis .
Siegfried II gave the chapel 10 hooves (300 acres ) in Nienstedt-Hainholz in 1307 . Otto II gave a fifth canonical as well as four Hufen in Heinde and two Hufen in Rössing . Under Gerhard and Johann III. there were several feuds, which led to financial difficulties at the Magdalenenstift. In this situation it was saved by Johannes Conolfus, who was a canon at the monastery and at the same time cathedral vicar. During his lifetime he gave the monastery private funds and the remainder according to a testamentary decree in 1433. Bishop Magnus gave the monastery three canonicals and the altar chapels of a chapel of the Lords of Saldern , which the nuns of the Magdalen convent waived. In 1435 it got nine hooves in Helperde , then one hoof in Adenstedt and the tithe in Ummeln . The Magdalenenstift had the patronage of the castle chapel of the Steuerwald castle .
nickname
Since there was already a monastery of the same name in Hildesheim with St. Magdalenen , the nickname in cartello - " in the baskets " - referred to the fact that the episcopal kitchen houses were also located on the property. The fact that the name was retained at all and the surname was accepted is attributed to the fact that Maria Magdalena had already been the patronage of the previous building of the collegiate chapel, which was older than the Church of the Penitents.
Johannes von Hagen
Johannes von Hagen († 1469) was an official of the Roman Curia . He became a canon at the Magdalenae episcopal court chapel. In 1439 he entered the Bursfelde monastery . Its abbot Johannes Dederoth died of the plague in Northeim on February 6, 1439 , and Hagen was elected as his successor. During his reign, 33 monasteries joined the Bursfeld Union . Hagen died on August 11, 1469.
Reformation and Secularization
With the introduction of the Reformation in 1542, the city council of Hildesheim forbade citizens to attend the service in the Magdalenenkapelle.
Bishop Jobst Edmund von Brabeck († 1702) donated a new roof turret and a high altar.
Under Westphalian rule, on December 15, 1810, the repeal of the Magdalenenstift was decided. The prefect of the Oker department Hammerstein announced on February 6, 1812 the royal decree of January 11, 1812 that the chapter was closed. The chapel was demolished in 1827. Their inventory was distributed to churches in the area. An extension of the former prince-bishop's residence, at that time the district court, was built on the property. This part of the building has housed the episcopal education office since 1976.
