Dominikanerkloster Norden, Dominican monastery in Norden, Germany

The monastery complex includes Gothic architectural elements with pointed arches and ribbed vaults situated in the heart of East Frisia.

Founded around 1264 by local chieftains, the monastery operated until 1530, making it the first monastery in East Frisia to dissolve after the Reformation.

The monastery functioned as a center for education and conflict mediation, hosting important meetings between representatives of Emsigerland and the Hanseatic City of Bremen.

The former monastery grounds now house the Ulrichs Gymnasium, with archaeological excavations revealing original structures, window glass, and animal bones.

In 1300, the monastery held its first Provincial Chapter, followed by subsequent chapters in 1337, 1383, 1422, and 1449.
