1920's Religious Charm Frau von Vinnenberg

Original 1920's religious necklace with a Frau von Vinnenberg charm. Unsere Liebe Frau von Vinnenberg, Bitte für uns. (Our dear lady of Vinnenberg, pray for us). Gelobt sei das Hhl. Sakrament durch Maria zu Jesus. (Praise be the sacrament through Mary to Jesus). The charm is aluminum. In good condition overall with light wear.

This is probably in reference to the Vinnenberg Monastery. The oldest documented mention of the monastery is from 1256. During WWII, the buildings were used as a "National Socialist people's home" by the NS district leadership of Münster and Warendorf, as well as the Luftgaukommando VI Westphalia. The monastery church was converted into a warehouse. The area was bombed in 1943. The Americans marched in in April 1945. The US Army only used the monastery as a hospital for a few days because of its unfavorable location. After the American troops had given their consent, the sisters returned on May 2, 1945.
