    Beguines and Begarden were the members of a lay order who led an ascetic and devout life, similar to the life in a monastery, where beguines denoted the female members and begards the male.
    Her life was the well-known expression of the semi-religiosity that emerged in the late Middle Ages and was an intermediate form of religious life and secular life. Begarden were numerically overshadowed by the much more strongly represented Beguines and were exposed to stronger official church persecutions.

    The Tännich Beguinage in Marburg was a communal living and working project for women. According to frauenwohnprojekte.de, this project in Tännich has since been dissolved. It was a modern form of housing based on the historical tradition of the Beguines.

    The Beguine community: They lived communally as Christian women, but without strict monastic rules, and were involved in caring for the sick and the poor, which is typical of the Beguine movement in German-speaking countries.
