The Gerlachsheim monastery was first mentioned in documents in 1209. In the 14th century, the first heyday of the complex, 31 nuns lived here. After several changes of ownership, renovations and different uses, it is now owned by the state of Baden-Württemberg. The monastery currently houses a doctor's office, a school and a vocational preparation class. The former monastery garden is open to the public.
