| Henneberg - associated Kloster which was closely associated with the Bibra family especially in the 1400's. Bishop Lorenz was educated here as a child. Many family members were buried there prior to the completion of St. Leo's Church in Bibra which was begun in 1492. (In the 1300's many were buried at Kloster Rohr.) While three grave stones remain at church (see below), I don't know what happened to other markers. It was reported to me, but I have not been able to verify, that they were moved to Bibra. The Henneberg grave stones were removed to Schleusingen hundreds of years ago. The kloster was mostly as a parish church when it burned down in around 1940. |
