Archaeologists explore medieval monastery in Germany
In a groundbreaking archaeological endeavor, the abandoned Himmelpforte monastery, situated near Wernigerode in central Germany, has been excavated for the very first time.
The excavation, led by the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology Saxony-Anhalt, has successfully identified the monastery’s structures and unearthed a plethora of artifacts providing insight into the daily lives of the Augustinian monks who once inhabited the site.
The Augustinian monastery, known as Himmelpforte or Himmelpforten, was established before 1253 by the von Hartesrode family.
This religious, cultural, and economic hub played a vital role in the region. Unfortunately, it endured the plundering effects of the German Peasants’ War in 1525 and fell into disarray during the Reformation, leading to the near-complete demolition and decay of its buildings, the Medievalists has reported.
