Benediktinerinnenkloster Spandau, Benedictine nunnery in Spandau, Germany
The monastery complex stood south of the city walls of Spandau, between the Havel River and the current Klosterstraße, near a major trading route.
Founded in 1239 by Brandenburg margraves Johann I and Otto III, the monastery operated until its dissolution during the Reformation in the 16th century.
The monastery housed the original Spandauer Madonna, a Gothic statue from the 13th century, now displayed at the Märkisches Museum in Berlin.
The monastery buildings were completely demolished in 1636, and no architectural remains exist at the site today.
The nuns managed extensive estates within a 20-kilometer radius, including fish farming operations in lakes such as Lietzensee and Jungfernsee.
