Excursion Kloster Börstel

The excursion ‘Börstel Abbey’ leads to the former Cistercian abbey of Börstel, which is located in a secluded, forested area in the Osnabrück-Nordland. With the Reformation, this abbey also became a Protestant convent, into which two Catholic canonesses were also accepted. The interdenominational character of the convent has been preserved until today. We visit the medieval Cistercian church and the abbey building. While doing so, we also have an opportunity to speak with chapter sister Johanna Pointke. We then continue to the village of Berge, where we want to examine the coexistence of Catholic and Protestant congregations in the Osnabrück Land on site. The village also makes it possible to comprehend the various epochs of Christian architecture exemplarily. We begin with tour through the exhibition: '1517. A Legacy' in the Liberna study hall of the Draiflessen Collection in Mettingen. Cost per person: € 49, plus € 15 for lunch together.
