The Nuremberg Franciscan monastery was a monastery of the Franciscans in the Bavarian diocese of Bamberg.
Franciscan monastery [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
The monastery of the Franciscan order founded in Italy in 1210 (also Barefoot monastery mentioned) at the St. Pauls chapel on the Pegnitz near the Lorenzkirche, in 1224 by the Burggrafen von Nuremberg together with the patrician Konrad Waldstromer and others. Founded and populated by Bamberg monastery. The construction of the Franciscan Church began as early as 1256. The Eichstätter Bishop Hildebrand of carrots promoted the construction with the granting of an indulgence.
The monastery belonged to the Bavarian Custody within the Strasbourg religious province and was taken over in 1447 with the support of the patriciate by the most part from the Heidelberg monastery. For the observance, the monastery members and confessional fathers of the Klarissen Heinrich Vigilis († 1499), Stephan Fridolin and Nikolaus Glasberger also took a position, although their validity was not uncontroversial and temporarily overridden in the Nuremberg convent.
During the term of office by Guardian Georg Büchelbach, a sponsor of art and science as well as organ builder, the Riedfeld Franciscan monastery was created in Neustadt an der Aisch as another branch of the Strasbourg religious province. [first]
After the Nuremberg religious discussion of 1525, where Michael Fries performed for the old believer party, the council banned the monastery of novices and ordered the church to be closed for the time of the sermon. In 1529 the complete closure followed. The last Franciscan of the monastery sentenced to extinction, Peter Pfingstetter, died in 1562.
As early as 1557, the girls ‘and 1560 also moved into the monastery building as the new use of the girls’ and 1560, and a women’s breeding house was incorporated into the monastery buildings in 1671. In the same year, a devastating fire broke out, which the church and part of the monastery building fell victim to. The reconstruction took place in a baroque form in 1682–89 under the direction of the Almosamtsbauer Johann Trost. The architectural model is exhibited in the Germanic National Museum.
Franciscan Church [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
The monastery church was originally built in the form of an early Gothic basilica with arched single -nave choir. The construction in today’s Königstraße 3 probably took place from 1256, the consecration in 1278. In 1434 the church was consecrated again after renovation work.
A year after the death of the last Franciscan, the church was reopened in 1563 and used for Protestant services. The annihilation by the fire of 1671 followed the reconstruction in 1682–89.
Around 1797 there were plans to convert the Franciscan Church into a theater. In 1807 it was sold privately owned by the administrators of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the new city leaders. Many cultural assets of the city were sold or destroyed during this time to remove the city’s debt.
The new owner, Georg Hieronymus Bestelmeyer, resigned parts of the church for the construction of a magazine. The remaining long house parts and the subsequent three choral yokes were canceled in 1913.
The rest of the chorbaus was preserved, changed through installation of windows and floor ceilings and integrated into the current building of Hypo Vereinsbank AG. Only the grave slab of the Anna Groß († 1294) can be preserved from the formerly extensive equipment (including twelve altars!) And seen in the Germanic National Museum.
