Sittichenbach Abbey (Kloster Sittichenbach), sometimes also known as Sichem Abbey, is a Cistercian monastery in Sittichenbach, now part of Osterhausen near Eisleben in the Mansfeld-Südharz district, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. ==First foundation== The abbey was founded as a daughter house of Walkenried Abbey in 1141 by Esiko of Bornstedt, under the first abbot Volkuin. The new foundation rapidly acquired extensive lands on which to establish farms. In 1180 monks from Sittichenbach, at the request of the Margrave of Brandenburg, established Lehnin Abbey. Later foundations were Buch Abbey near Leisnig (1192) and Grünhain Abbey in the Erzgebirge (1235). In 1346 the abbey suffered greatly from a feud between Ludwig of Halberstadt, Bishop of Meissen, and the Count of Mansfeld. The abbot and monks were taken hostage and treated so harshly that several of them died. The Count of Mansfeld was excommunicated as a result of this incident. In 1540 in the course of the Reformation the abbey was dissolved. It was at first in the possession of the Counts of Mansfeld, and transferred by them in 1612 to John George I, Elector of Saxony. From this time onwards the abbey premises were used for local government purposes. ''Amt Sittichenbach'' passed in 1656 to Saxe-Weissenfels and from 1686 to 1745 to the Principality of Saxe-Querfurt, after which it was included in the Electorate or Kingdom of Saxony. It was incorporated into the new Prussian state in 1815. 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「Sittichenbach Abbey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
