| Additional information |
Gertrud of Anwart served as abbess of Quedlinburg from 1233 until her death in 1270, one of the longer tenures in the house's medieval history. Quedlinburg held the status of an Imperial Abbey — directly subordinate to the emperor rather than any bishop — and its abbesses exercised the full coinage rights that came with that privilege. Bracteates of this period were the dominant penny form across northern and central Germany precisely because their thin, single-die fabric allowed faster production at minimal silver cost.
