Kartause Hildesheim, Carthusian monastery in Hildesheim, Germany.
The monastery complex features individual cells for monks, communal prayer spaces, and traditional architectural elements following Carthusian design principles.
Bishop Gerhard vom Berge established the monastery in 1388 as gratitude for his victory over Magnus I during the battle of Dinklar.
The monastery preserved numerous manuscripts and important documents, which were later incorporated into the Hildesheim Cathedral library collection.
The monastery underwent multiple relocations, with its final position near the cathedral offering enhanced protection against external threats.
In 1708, an Ottoman prisoner of war named Bernhard Aly entered the monastery and became a Carthusian monk under the name Pater Josephus.
