Construction and life in the Middle Ages
Over 200 years (1290-1506) the Einbecker needed the completion of the largest hall church in Northern Germany. Seven generations worked on her. Steinmetzzeichen on the outer wall testify to it. The funds were not enough for a planned massive twin-tower system. So a baroque hood completed the construction. The church thus has its typical stocky shape.
The pin was connected to a Latin school, which was one of the most famous North Germany. In the year of the big fire in 1540, the convent building, school and library burned down. In 1545 the monastery became Protestant - not entirely voluntary. Previously, a visitation had exposed the canons' complete ignorance of biblical and spiritual issues.
