Mauritiuskloster Minden, Benedictine monastery in Minden, Germany
The monastery complex stands next to Simeoniskirche, with the St. Mauritius Church serving as a separate oratory for religious ceremonies.
Bishop Bruno von Waldeck established the monastery in 1042 on a Weser River island to protect the river crossing point.
The monastery joined the Bursfeld Congregation in 1464, leading to a period of increased religious and educational activities.
The original location on the Weser island moved to its current position in 1434 due to flooding risks and security concerns.
The monastery produced bricks from clay deposits on the right bank of the Weser River, documented in records from 1353.
