Town and Monastery Church Brehna
Highlight • Religious Site
The history of the church is closely linked to the history of Dietrich I, Hedwig von Brehna and Katharina von Bora. The original part of the church is Romanesque: the west transept tower from the 10th century, which probably once served as a watchtower or protective castle. The church tower walls are two meters thick. The nave to the east is also Romanesque. It was built as a single-nave quarry stone building.
In 1156, Friedrich I took over the county of Brehna. After his death, his wife Hedwig von Bora founded St. Clemens zu Brehna on August 15, 1201 and made it her widow's residence. The collegiate church was consecrated in 1202. In 1290, a house for canonesses was built. The most famous student of the collegiate church was Katharina von Bora, who was educated there between 1504 and 1508.
After the Reformation, the monastery began to decline. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. All that remains is the substructure of the chapter house and the collegiate church as half of the nave of the entire choir. In the 17th century, the church tower was raised, but it collapsed in the great city fire of 1713. The fragments of the four church tower bells were cast into a large bell a year later, which has survived to this day. The external form of the church has essentially remained unchanged to this day.
As a symbol for travelers, the scallop shell, which is named after the patron saint of the church, can be found on the patron's box in the western part of the church. The wooden pulpit and the buttresses attached to the nave from the 16th century have been preserved to this day. The furnishings of the parish church were mainly created in the 17th and 18th centuries. The late Gothic winged altar decorated with baroque elements is noteworthy. The confessionals date from the early 18th century.
The town and monastery church is surrounded by the churchyard, which was used as a cemetery until 1900. There is now a park of around two hectares with various tombs from the classicism and the Wilhelminian period. The renovation of the town and monastery church is also financed with donations from the Friends of the Town and Monastery Church Association, which organizes regular events every year.[1]
