history
Abbot Adalgar von Corvey had the new church built between Höxter and Corvey. It was consecrated in 863. Attached to it was a canons' monastery, which was originally a provost of Corvey. The institution was consecrated to Paul . This also included a school that was important at times and even competed with Corvey himself. In particular, Greek was taught there. Around the year 1000 which took place Translation of relics of Liuttrud of Nienkerken to eat pen .
The associated property was separated from the Corvey property. The pen remained subordinate to Corvey. The convention could decide on the admission of new members. The appointment of the provost remained a matter for the Abbot von Corvey. The processions that went from the monastery to the monastery on public holidays also show the close ties between the two institutions. Pope Hadrian IV confirmed the rights of Corvey in 1154.
The unprotected location of the monastery led to Bishop Simon von Paderborn relocating the monastery again to the fortified town of Höxter to the St. Peter church in 1266. The reasons given were predatory attacks, the resulting deterioration in services and the desolation of the place. The bishop obliged the convention to continue to hold services in the collegiate church, which was also the parish church. From the point of view of Corvey, who had long been in dispute with Paderborn over the ecclesiastical exemption , the episcopal regulations had to occur as an interference with their own rights. At Corvey's endeavor, the convent returned to the village in 1284. A short time later, however, the canons returned to Höxter. They allied with the citizens of the city against Corvey.
Since the beginning of the 14th century, only the chapter of St. Peter has been mentioned, but no longer the Nova ecclesia. In 1348 Abbot Theodoric renounced Corvey's rights to the monastery. The Nienkerke pen was largely absorbed by the Peterstift. Similar to the settlement of Corvey, the village lost its importance in the Middle Ages and fell desolate. The pen was abolished in 1536.
