The Pillenreuth monastery is a former monastery of the Augustinian nuns in the diocese of Eichstätt; today Pillenreuth is incorporated into Nuremberg (south-east outskirts).

The Maria Schedung (last Maria Himmelfahrt) consecrated Augustiner-Chorfrauen-Stift was founded in 1345 by Konrad Groß. At that time, Konrad Groß was the imperial mayor in Nuremberg. In 1422, Pillenreuth took over the reform statutes of Cardinal Branda[1] and thus played a pioneering role in the efforts at that time for church and monastery reform; In 1431, the Inzigkofen monastery adopted the Pillenreuth rule. During the second Margrave War, Pillenreuth was destroyed in 1552 by Albrecht Alcibiade's troops and never rebuilt. In 1596, the last living nun gave the property to the city of Nuremberg, which sold it in its entirety. The property was later divided up and resold. Since 1808/18 the settlement belonged to Worzeldorf and with this community Pillenreuth came to Nuremberg on July 1, 1972 as part of the municipal area reform. Today only remnants of the former monastery complex remain.
