Kornelimünster Abbey ((ドイツ語:Kloster Kornelimünster)) is a Benedictine monastery in Kornelimünster, since 1972 a part of Aachen (in the district of Kornelimünster/Walheim), in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. == First foundation == The monastery was founded in 814 by Benedict of Aniane, adviser to Emperor Louis the Pious, successor to Charlemagne, on the little river Inde. The monastery was at first known as the "monastery of the Redeemer on the Inde". In the mid-9th century the monastery became an Imperial abbey ("reichsunmittelbar") and received not only great endowments of land but also the so-called biblical or Saviour's relics: the loincloth, the sudarium and the shroud. In 875, half of the shroud was exchanged for a relic of the head of the martyred Pope Cornelius (died in 253), after which the abbey was known as ''Sancti Cornelii ad Indam'', and later as ''Kornelimünster''. (The full official title of the present monastery is the Abbey of the Abbot Saint Benedict of Aniane and Pope Cornelius). In the 12th century, a canon of Aachen composed the famous ''Tafelgüterverzeichnis'', a registry of certain royal estates and what they owed the king's court. It is one of the earliest pieces of evidence for the extent of the German royal fisc. In 1500, the Imperial abbey (''Reichsabtei'') of Kornelimünster became part of the Lower Rhenish–Westphalian Circle. In 1802, the territory of Kornelimünster came under French rule and the abbey was dissolved in the secularisation.〔Paul Fabianek, Folgen der Säkularisierung für die Klöster im Rheinland – Am Beispiel der Klöster Schwarzenbroich und Kornelimünster, 2012, Verlag BoD, ISBN 978-3-8482-1795-3〕 The abbey church became the parish church, and the remaining abbey buildings state property, now belonging to the ''Bundesland'' of North Rhine-Westphalia. Kornelimünster became a ''mairie'' in Kanton Burtscheid. In 1815, Kornelimünster became part of the Kingdom of Prussia and of the district (''Landkreis'') of Aachen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kornelimünster Abbey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
