Engelthal is located in the heart of the Franconian Jura.

In 1243 the village of Swinach became the seat of the Engelthal Dominican convent. From 1289 to 1356 Christine Ebner lived in Engelthal Abbey, who wrote about her numerous visions and revelations and those of her fellow sisters (Life and Revelations, from 1317 and Engelthal Nursing Book, before 1346). Because of her life and work, she was one of the notable women of the first half of the 14th century. Engelthal is known for this monastery, which was a center of mystical spirituality and an almost unique production of German-language mystical literature in the 14th century
