In 2021, the Order of the Premonstratensians can look back on 900 years of existence. Norbert von Xanten and a group of like-minded people founded a monastery in Prémontré in France, from which the Premonstratensian order, which is now flourishing worldwide, emerged at Christmas 1121. The Kulturhistorische Museum Magdeburg is using this anniversary as an opportunity to hold the first solo exhibition on the Premonstratensians from 10 September 2021 to 9 January 2022. It is one of the three official partner exhibitions for the anniversary, which will also be shown in the Park Abbey of Leuven in Belgium (May to July 2021) and in the Czech Strahov Monastery in Prague (March to May 2022). The exhibition will be accompanied by the correspondent project „Das Erbe der Prämonstratenser“ which is based in Saxony-Anhalt and three neighbouring federal states. In order to embed the exhibition and the Correspondence Point Project scientifically, to safeguard existing knowledge and to discuss new research, the Kulturhistorisches Museum Magdeburg is organising a scientific conference in cooperation with the Zentrum für Mittelalterausstellungen and the research centre "Klöster im Hochmittelalter" of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
