The Magdalenerinnenkloster Sprottau was a monastery of the Magdalenerinnen in the Silesian Duchy of Glogau . It was located in the small town of Sprottau at the mouth of the Sprat in the Bober (today Szprotawa in the Polish Lubusz voivodeship ). The monastery building south of the monastery and town parish church was rebuilt after 1672 and received further changes in the 18th century. It is a three-story structure with a vaulted ground floor. After the secularization of 1810, the building was used as a district court and hospital and housed a local history museum from 1912 to 1945. The building was extensively restored until 2018 and is one of the listed objects in the Lubusz Voivodeship.

history

The monastery was founded in 1289 as a subsidiary of the Magdalen convent Naumburg am Queis in Beuthen an der Oder . Since the monastery in Bytom was often exposed to harassment in the open field, it was moved to Sprottau in 1314 at the request of Duke Heinrich IV of Glogau and his mother Mechthild. After the Reformation , only four of the order's numerous monasteries remained: in Silesia the two in Sprottau and Naumburg, in Upper Lusatia the Magdalen convent in Lauban and another in Hildesheim . The monastery in Sprottau had patronage rights over the St. Andreas Church in Nieder Eulau since 1318 and over the parish church of St. Maria in the center of the city since at least 1329. However, since the Reformation there have been repeated disputes with the predominantly Protestant city about pasture justice and school patronage. It was not until 1565 that a settlement was made on the freedom to practice religion for both denominations and the common use of the parish church. Due to the Counter-Reformation , which was carried out particularly intensively in the Principality of Glogau, the Protestant churches were then closed again by 1654. The town of Sprottau became Prussian after the First Silesian War in 1742 and the monastery was secularized in 1810. At that time there were eleven nuns in addition to the prioress and a subprioress.

Monastery property

Since 1299, even before the move to Sprottau, some places around Beuthen belonged to the monastery property: (Klein) Heinersdorf ( Jędrzychów ) near Grünberg ( Zielona Góra ) and Rauden ( Rudno ) near Neuensalz ( Nowa Sól ) as well as shares from (Ober) Hirschfeldau ( Jelenin ) near Sagan ( Żagań ) and Langheinersdorf ( Długie ). Other monastery locations were Bergvorwerk, Kunichen and Nieder Eulau in today's urban area, as well as Hirtendorf ( Pasterzowice ), Kortnitz ( Kartowice ) and Niederleschen ( Leszno Dolne ).
