The foundation stone for this was laid on July 12, 1030 at 7 a.m. by Emperor Konrad II the Salian, who also laid the foundation stone for the cathedral in Speyer at 1 p.m. on the same day. The abbey was burned down on August 30 1504 in a feud between Electoral Palatinate and Leinigen, incompletely restored in 1554, but left to decay from 1574 onwards. In 1843 it came into the possession of the city of Dürkheim and was surrounded by a green area at the expense of the city of Dürkheim by gardening director Metzger from Heidelberg</small>
