Prose comments

• "The complex was named a historic monument in 1974." can you be any more specific about the type of monument?
  • I cannot, unfortunately. The text in the cited source for that is "Der gesamte Ort Bebenhausen steht seit 1974 unter Ensemble-Denkmalschutz", or "The entire borough of Bebenhausen has been under monument protection since 1974." –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
  • you say " protected monument" instead of 'historic monument' in the body
    •  Fixed –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
• "The monastery was established in the late 12th century first by the Premonstratensians and then by the Cistercians." How can something be established twice?
  • Changed to "The monastery was established in the late 12th century by the Premonstratensians, but was ceded to the Cistercians in 1190." –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

  •  Done –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
• "especially favored by its Kings for its location in the Schönbuch. Württemberg's first king" inconsistent capitalization of 'king' I'd personally suggest lowercase should be used except for when saying the full title or right before a name. See MOS:JOBTITLES

  •  Done –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
• " In response, Rudolph granted the Cistercian project the freedom of not recognizing a vogt in mid-1211" why? Also maybe clarify 1) what a vogt is, 2) whether this was a big deal, or something Rudolph did all the time 3) was the freedom starting in mid-1211 and continuing indefinitely or only for a short period of time in 1211
  • I've added a clarification of what a vogt is. I have no idea why even Rudolph granted this privilege to Bebenhausen. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
• "would be consecrated " -> "was consecrated"

  •  Done –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
• "t paid the highest dues to the" how does this indicate flourishing? For all the reader knows, maybe the Bishop really didn't like this abbey and wanted to punish it
  • Changed to include specifically what that due was (a sum called a procuratio that was to cover the Bishop's expenses). –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

  •  Done –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
• "56 choir monks and six" per MOS:NUMNOTES "Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures"
  • Changed "six" to "6". –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
• "another 14th century addition by abbot Konrad von Lustnau" It's unclear what was the 14th century addition-- the refectory or the turret
  • Oops. Shortened "another" to "a". –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

• "From that retreat, Frederick celebrated his 58th birthday held several days of feasting and hunting," 1) I think a word is missing between 'birthday' and 'held' 2) what year was this?
  •  Fixed. I somehow neglected to give the date, 9 November 1812. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 20:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

  • All that I can offer is that these meetings were plenary sessions.
• Anything else between '52 and 2017? was it a museum?

THat's prose comments and a first pass- very nice work on the whole. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 17:35, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
