Hermits of Saint William

The Order of the Hermits of St. William ( Ordo Fratrum Eremitarum Sancti Wilhelmi ), short Wilhelmiten or Guglielmiten, was a monastic order, which was represented mainly in Italy, France, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.

History

The Order cites (deceased in 1157, and later under erroneous assumption of French origin also called Guillaume de Maleval ) to the hermit William of Malavalle, emerged from its surroundings, the living after the Benedictine Rule Wilhelmiten. William hermitage southwest of Siena was expanded to the monastery.

In France they were because of their clothing also called Blancs - manteaux ( white coats ). They had priories in Louvergny at Rethel ( 1249 founded by Count Johann of Rethel, † 1251 ) and Mont Rouge in Paris ( her second priory in France, founded in the second half of the 13th century ), and from 1297 in Paris, where she the Augustinian replaced, their order was dissolved. Your home in Paris was in the 4th arrondissement, on the north side of the Rue des Blancs manteaux, roughly where today begins the Rue des Guillemites. After the Wilhelmiten Guillemin is named, the one district of Liege, which houses the main railway station of the city. Here the Wilhelmiten from 1287 had an establishment around which the settlement developed.

Mid-13th century there were major changes, with the Papal Bull Licet ecclesiae catholicae of Pope Alexander IV several hermits orders were combined for the fourth mendicant called Augustinian Hermits. The Wilhelmiterorden 1256 was dissolved and integrated into the newly founded religious community. After considerable intervention by the Wilhelmiten solved over the next pope, Clement IV, in 1266 it again from the Order of Augustinian Hermits out and presented as the independent Wilhelmitenorden restores.

The Wilhelmiten existed until the 18th century. After the dissolution of the religious houses in Austria under Emperor Joseph II was Gräfinthal (municipality Mandelbachtal, Saarland ) is the last Wilhelmitenkloster in the kingdom. With the Bull of 24 November 1785 Pope disbanded the request of the monks of this monastery also.
