Kloster Alexanderdorf, Benedictine abbey in Am Mellensee, Germany.
The Saint Gertrude Abbey stands in Alexanderdorf village, featuring a chapel and monastery buildings within the Brandenburg countryside at Am Mellensee municipality.
The monastery was established in 1934 when Catholic nurses relocated from Berlin to Alexanderdorf, converting a manor house into the first post-Reformation Benedictine convent in Brandenburg.
The religious community maintains Benedictine traditions through daily prayers, produces liturgical items, and manufactures communion wafers according to monastic practices.
Thirty nuns reside at the abbey, which underwent substantial renovations between 1998 and 2000, including the transformation of an old barn into a church.
During the German Democratic Republic period, several nuns migrated to Westphalia, establishing a connected monastery in Dinklage that maintains ties with Saint Gertrude Abbey.
