St. Adalbert zur Eiche

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. Adalbert zur Eiche was a Benedictine convent near Danzig in the 13th and 14th centuries.

location

The branch was located at the church of St. Adalbert zur Eiche (Latin ecclesia S. Adalberti ad quercum ) about 7 kilometers south of the medieval city of Danzig on an important trade route. Later the place St. Albrecht was created there , today Święty Wojciech and a district of Gdansk. Remains of closed buildings are not known, even in today's church there are probably no remains of the former building.

history

The name refers to St. Adalbert of Prague , who came to Gdansk in 997 and preached to the local population in the vicinity. It is possible that one of these sermons took place here; there are no other places in the vicinity of Gdansk that were associated with his name.

The Church of St. Adalbert near Danzig belonged to the Wielkopolska Monastery of Mogilno at the latest around 1220. Since when there was a convent (priory) is uncertain. Mogylno vel Gdanzk ( Mogilno or Danzig ) has been handed down as a name from 1222 , as the first preserved reference to this settlement. In 1236, Prince Swantopolk II of Pomerania confirmed the possession of Gora, Pelasewo, Trubki and Kemnathi , the court with tavern in Gdansk, and the church in Slona with accessories that his ancestors had to the abbot of Mogilno for the church of S. Adalberti ad quercum Abbot Paulinus would have transferred. In 1281 a prior was mentioned. In 1315 St. Adalbert was referred to as praepositura (provost, priory) of Mogilno. The last mention of 1333 is preserved.

The further development is uncertain. In 1359 a new stone church was consecrated. In 1541 the abbot of the Mogilno Monastery exchanged goods near Gdansk with the Bishop of Włocławek, possibly referring to this place.

In 1711 the Order of the Vincentines founded a monastery here, which was dissolved by the Prussian authorities in 1818. Since 1945 there have been Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul there.

The certificate documenting rights and donations in Pomeranian Kolobrzeg and the surrounding area for the monastery abbot Mogilno with Paulinus, but probably not for St. Adalbert, as Dreger in German summary. He considers the name Mogylno to be a synonym for St. Adalbert and apparently does not know the Wielkopolska monastery.
