cistercium.info:
Just a few kilometers from Maulbronn Monastery lies the Elfinger Hof estate, one of the monastery's first granaries. It has been historically documented since 1152 and, along with the neighboring vineyard, was one of the monastery's most important economic assets, which was initially managed by lay brothers themselves and later by tenants. The estate still gives a vivid impression of the monastery landscape of Maulbronn, although the buildings in the hamlet are probably all from more recent times.

The settlement is older than Maulbronn Monastery. Lorsch Monastery received the village or hamlet of Albingheim between 784 and 785 from a nobleman named Ruthart.
When the Cistercians arrived in the Salzach Valley, the Elfinger Lake and vineyard may already have been there. The transfer of the village to Maulbronn Monastery in 1154/1155, the desecration of the parish church in 1159 and the conversion to a monastic granary ended Elfingen's independence.
