Maria Rosalia Bachems
Maria Rosalia Bachems (* around 1756 in Eltville am Rhein ; † unknown) was a German Cistercian and abbess in the Rosenthal monastery in the Eifel .
Life
Maria Rosalia Bachems, about whose youth and education there are no records, made her religious vows in 1773 . In 1794 she was elected abbess of the Rosenthal Monastery , which made her the last director of the monastery before the monastery was abolished by the French during the secularization . A last lease agreement concluded with her and Peter Josef Mohr in February 1801 had to be signed by a French commissioner, which was also the last official document from the Rosenthal Abbey. In 1802 the French finally abolished the monastery and declared it French state property . All the nuns who remained there vacated the monastery in a great hurry and mostly returned to their home villages and homes. When the monastery with its buildings and the adjoining properties was offered for auction on February 16, 1802, no buyer was found for several years. It was not until 1809 that M. Sonntag from Müden acquired the monastery for 8,500 francs .
