Vårtur Memleben
Spring trip to Memleben
... Otto II grunnla et benediktinerkloster i Memleben i 979, hvis imponerende rester fortsatt kan sees i dag. I 1525 ble klosteret plyndret under bondekrigen og til slutt oppløst i 1548 som en del av reformasjonen.
Fra 2011, for første gang på 500 år, flyttet benediktinermunker inn i Memleben-klosteret for en uke. Besøkende kunne overvære bønnene i krypten.
I tillegg foregår det vitenskapelige arkeologiske utgravninger på stedet i dag, det er et omfattende museum og en liten kafé og vakre hager ... et absolutt feel-good sted.
... Otto II donated a Benedictine monastery in 979, the impressive remains of which can still be seen today. In 1525 the monastery was plundered by rebellious peasants during the Peasants' War and finally dissolved as a result of the Reformation in 1548.
In 2011, after 500 years, Benedictine monks moved back into the Memleben monastery for a week. Visitors could attend the prayers in the crypt.
Furthermore, nowadays scientific archaeological excavations take place on the site, there is an extensive museum and a small cafe and beautiful gardens...
we felt so comfortable... and will definitely be back.
Til pikniken vår bakte jeg surdeigsbrød med fersk villhvitløk...
For our picnic I baked sourdough bread with fresh wild garlic from my garden...
and tarte au citron.
It is the wine-growing region of the Saale-Unstrut valley, great white wine :-)))
We stayed at the hotel and also visited Goseck Castle and the 7,000-year-old sun observatory in Goseck.
It was just fantastic...there were 6 of us in our family group.
Det er vinregionen Saale-Unstrut-Tal, flott hvitvin :-))) Vi bodde på hotellet og besøkte også Goseck Castle og det 7000 år gamle solobservatoriet i Goseck.
Det var bare fantastisk... det var 6 av oss i vår familiegruppe.

I would enjoy wandering around the ruins of the old monastery. I could easily spend an entire day there. Afterwards I could join in a wonderful picnic with sourdough bread and lemon tart washed down with a great wine. Granny M

AntwortenLöschenWonderful post!!
AntwortenLöschenVery nice and full of history these rest, I looked at the map to locate it correctly, it sounded to me but I have not gone there, close but we did not get to see it.
AntwortenLöschenBest regards.
Hi Jose, I'm sorry you couldn't find it. In the Middle Ages they were major centers... but today they are small towns and villages, but set in beautiful countryside.
LöschenMemleben (Kaiserpfalz and Memleben Monastery) is about 90 km west of Leipzig/Germany and the Goseck solar observatory (near the town of Freyburg/Unstrut) is about 40 minutes by car from Memleben.
Hug
For en flott tur, og for et vakkert sted! Det er mange steder du viser i Tyskland som jeg kunne tenke meg å reise til. Håper det blir en mulighet til det. Jeg ønsker deg og familien deilige dager fremover.

Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Maria
Please read my post
AntwortenLöschenIch liebe alte Kloster und Runinen - dieser Ort wäre genau das Richtige für mich gewesen. Das Sonnenobservatorium sieht auch hochinteressant aus. Sauerteigbrot mit Knoblauchblättern aus deinen Garten - das klingt richtig lecker. Sauerteig in Deutschland schmeckt anders und ehrlich auch besser als hier in den USA; hier ist es einfach nur langweiliges weißes Brot. Ich vermisse das deutsche Brot sehr - so ein richtig gutes Vollkornbrot mit Butter ist einfach was Herrliches.
AntwortenLöschenAcabo de recorrer, una a una tus fotografías y me ha encantado, lo que he visto en ellas.
AntwortenLöschenTe deseo un feliz fin de semana.
Ciao Viola, grazie per essere passata da me. Che belle foto e che bei posti!! Ciao
AntwortenLöschenHello,
AntwortenLöschenWhat a beautiful place to visit. Love the monastery images. Your picnic sounds fun, the food looks yummy too. I love anything with lemon. Take care, enjoy your day!
