The foundation of the Mariendonk monastery is closely linked to the general history of the late 19th century, especially the cultural struggle. For the monasteries, the "Law relating to the spiritual orders and order-like congregations of the Catholic Church" of 1875 was decisive, because in it all monasteries in Prussia were dissolved, with the exception of those that were devoted to nursing.
