- Administrative/biographical history:
- The monastery of St. Crucis (Kreuzkloster) was probably founded around 1230 on the Rennelberg outside the St. Petri gate of the city of Braunschweig. At the latest from 1409 onward it followed Cistercian rule. At the end of the 15th century, the possessions of the monastery were affected during the clashes between the City of Braunschweig and Duke Heinrich the Elder of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (Wolfenbüttel). After the destruction of the monastery by bombs in 1944 it was not rebuilt. The Protestant monastery had almost completely dissolved shortly before.
