"The community was first mentioned in 1022....the first buildings were consecrated on 24 August 1241." Is there an error in "1022"? ==Wetman (talk) 14:56, 10 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Actually, there is an error in that someone changed it from 1228 to 1022 - I will change it back if no one disagrees with me. 1228 is the date that the convent was first founded in Restorf, but there were a few changes of location, until they settled in Altenmedingen in 1241. I will edit that paragraph in a bit to clear up the confusion!Jenny.lemke (talk) 08:37, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
I edited the paragraph - does it now become clear what I meant to say? :) I also changed the date back to 1228 as the person who edited it did not give a reason for why he or she did it and I cannot find any reference that even mentions 1022. Of course I am happy to discuss that if someone has any objections! Jenny.lemke (talk) 09:48, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
