    Tips

    January 5, 2022

    The brothers Wittegow and Berengar von Albeck founded an Augustinian canon monastery in 1190 on the central mountain of the Steinheim meteor crater. This pen then fell to the Counts of Helfenstein before it was acquired by the Roman-German King Albrecht I in 1302.

    King Albrecht I in turn handed over the monastery with all rights and all possessions to the Cistercian monastery in Königsbronn, which was newly founded at the time.

    As early as the 15th century, the monastery courtyard was given up and management was left to the local farmers.

    There are still old structures and old path markings (curbs). The Steinheimer Heimatstube is housed in a building from 1648. Here you will find, among other things, early Halemannic finds, a medieval bakery and objects from the life of farmers and craftsmen. A Chinese collection from around 1900 should also be emphasized.
