    Herrenalb Abbey was founded by Cistercians in 1148. It was founded by a count in gratitude for being allowed to return home from the Second Crusade.

    Cistercian monasteries provided for themselves. The achievements resulting from this way of life transformed the Cistercian monasteries into economic and cultural centers by the end of the 13th century.

    In Herrenalb, the original land holdings were expanded through purchases and donations. In 1450, 37 villages belonged to the monastery, and it generated income from rights and goods in 127 towns.

    The monastery was devastated in the Peasants' War of 1525 and finally dissolved in 1649 – after the Thirty Years' War.
