The nunnery that moved into Sonnenkamp came from the branch in Parkow. The Marienkloster in Bergen on Rügen had also been intended as the mother house, but the Benedictine convent in Arendsee in the Altmark was a more likely candidate, since Adelheid, the second wife of Prince Borwin I, was a princess from the Mark Brandenburg who, through good relations with the Arendsee monastery, brought the first Benedictine nuns to Mecklenburg. After 1245, the convent adopted the Cistercian rule, which was probably due to the influence of the powerful Cistercian abbey of Doberan. In a letter of protection from Pope Clement IV dated May 26, 1267,[6] a Cistercian monastery was first mentioned as Cysterciensis ordinis, and the monastery was governed by a prioress and followed the rules of Saint Benedict according to the customs of the Cistercian brothers….

Stone Arch Bridge The old postal or stone arch bridge at the foot of the Wallberg was built in the 18th century and is a listed technical monument. Traffic once traveled between Rostock and Wismar over this bridge. It was part of the postal road until the B105 highway and the Rostock-Wismar railway line were built in 1882. Today, the European Hiking Trail E9, the Hanseatic Way, and the Baltic-Westphalian Way of St. James share this section. Source: Information board of the municipality of Neuburg

The church's interior has now been beautifully restored and is open for viewing. A very beautiful altar and wonderful frescoes can be seen, among other things. The old cemetery surrounding the church has also been somewhat renovated. "A priest for Neuburg was documented in 1219. The building was built as a residential church in brick from 1220 to 1244. It is one of the oldest village churches in Mecklenburg. [...] Around 1266, thanks to a donation from Henry the Pilgrim, it received a share in the income from the town wine cellar in Wismar. [...] The mighty west tower, with an almost square floor plan, is as wide as the nave and was built at the end of the 14th century. [...] The remains of a 14th-century Last Supper depiction were uncovered on the south side of the choir. On the north wall of the nave, depictions of Christopher and George from around 1400 were found. On the east wall of the nave and in the clerestory, depictions of the apostles can be seen; they were painted in the second half of the 17th century. The painted wall hangings and the angels in the choir date from the same period." You can find the complete text here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Neuburg
