Servitinnenkloster St. Lucia in Cologne

The chapel they acquired was dedicated to St. Lucy, built in 1612/13 and consecrated in 1613. Above a three-metre base, the hall church measured 18 metres long and eight metres wide; five pointed-arch tracery windows with oval windows above them lit the street facade. The Filzengraben facade blended late Gothic and Baroque forms. The convent building, erected in 1631, extended with its gardens from Filzengraben to Große Witschgasse and was arranged around a cloister with an inner courtyard.

Oversight of the Servite Sisters rested with the Archbishop of Cologne. A visitation in December 1640 bound the sisters to the Rule of St. Augustine, with formal enclosure following in January 1641. A further visitation in 1649 uncovered violations of enclosure and the rule of silence. In 1665 the Cologne convent was charged with reforming the Servite Sisters' house in Linz am Rhein, founded as a daughter convent in 1623. The convent's holdings included houses and land in Cologne and several surrounding towns.

When the convent was dissolved in 1802 with thirteen remaining nuns, the chapel closed in 1805. The merchant's widow Franziska Hirn took over the entire complex, converting the convent buildings into a wool factory while using the chapel as a private family chapel. Until 1814 she secretly sheltered Trappist monks from Darfeld on the premises. In 1849 the property passed to Cologne's Protestant congregation, which had the chapel and convent buildings demolished in 1857. In their place rose the Protestant Trinity Church, completed in 1861. A section of the old convent wall survives in the parish garden.
