Kloster Preetz
The Preetz convent (Kloster) was founded in the early 13th century east of Kiel and settled in the town of Preetz in 1261. Unlike the convents in Uetersen and Itzehoe, Kloster Preetz asserted full control over the town in which it was located, as well as over a large, mostly contiguous swath of nearby territory.
The Kloster was converted to a largely secular (albeit distinctly Protestant) organization during the reformation and as such maintained control over its territory. It was excluded from the partition of Holstein in 1544 and instead was jointly ruled by the resulting countries.
