View of Kloster Bornhofen
Highlight • Viewpoint
Around 1400, Knight Johannes Brömser von Rüdesheim, the bailiff of Electoral Trier for the administration of Sterrenberg Castle, began building a church on the ruins of a previous building, which is believed to have been built during the armed conflict over the imperial pledge of the castle between the Archbishop of Trier, Balduin of Luxembourg, and the previous owner Count Diether V. of Katzenelnbogen had been destroyed; The winner of this dispute was Electoral Trier, which held the property until the end of the Old Empire in 1806. The coat of arms of the Rüdesheim Brömser family (silver and black with 6 lilies) can still be seen in the choir area.
Under Brömser's son Johann, the church was completed on the eve of the Assumption (August 14) 1435; this was previously documented by an inscription on the bell tower, which, however, was destroyed in a fire in 1949. A miraculous image of the Virgin Mary attracted more and more pilgrims and pilgrims over the course of time. Since the local pastors could no longer cope with the rush, the Archbishop of Trier, Johann Hugo von Orsbeck, called on the Capuchins from nearby St. Goarshausen-Wellmich to found a monastery. In 1680 the foundation stone was laid for the complex, which was completed in 1684.
