The former monastery Scheda in the district Wiehagen of Wickede (Ruhr) was founded in 1143 as a monastery of the Premonstratensians. After the secularization, the buildings were converted into a manor.
It was founded by Wiltrudis and her son Rathard from the noble family of Rüdenberger-Ardey. The facility was occupied by the monastery Cappenberg. At first it was probably a double monastery, later it became a pure monastery for men. The monastery was temporarily subordinated to the monastery Bredelar and the monastery Oelinghausen. The Priory Berentrop remained permanently dependent. Noteworthy is the provost Hermann von Scheda (* 1107/08, † 1181), son of Jewish parents (Juda ben David Halewi), who authored an autobiography. At times it was one of the richest monasteries in Westphalia.
In the late Middle Ages, the monastery was converted into a noble pen. In 1500, under the provost Rotger von Laer came to an internal reform. This probably contributed to keeping the institution faithful to the old faith during the Reformation and afterwards.
This did not prevent a decline in the 17th century. In the year 1622/23 Scheda was re-appointed at the time of Provost Wilhelm Grüter by canons of bourgeois origin from the monastery Knechtsteden. It followed disputes that lasted 25 years. They ended with the restoration of the noble character. (Wikipedia)
