The Schaumberg (the "local mountain" of the Saarland) is one of the highest peaks in the Saarland with a height of 569m. In Celtic times there was already a refuge on the mountain, in the Middle Ages the "Schauenburg" stood there until the Thirty Years' War. At the foot of the foam mountain is the place Tholey with the Benedictine abbey of St. Mauritius. The 7th century abbey is the oldest monastery in Germany and was abandoned during the French Revolution in 1794. The resettlement took place in 1947. Today the Benedictine abbey is the spiritual center in Saarland. It's worth a visit. According to legend, St. Wendelin - whose grave is in the Wendelinus basilica in St. Wendel - was the founding abbot of Tholey Abbey. The widespread volcanic basalt stone tholeyite (tholeit) was named after the village. Source: Text information board
