Note: "Alpirsbach Abbey (Kloster Alpirsbach) is a former monastery and seminary located at Alpirsbach in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The monastery was established in the late 11th century by the donation of land by three Counts to the Benedictine Order. It enjoyed considerable freedoms for an ecclesiastical property at that time, but would in the 13th century become a de facto possession of the Dukes of Teck and then the County of Württemberg. In the 15th century, the monastery enjoyed economic prosperity and it physically expanded the monastery. In the 16th century, however, it was dissolved with the conversion of the by-then Duchy of Württemberg to Lutheranism. The monastery became a seminary and boarding school until the 17th century, after which it began a decline. Alpirsbach Monastery was physically reduced over the 19th century by land sales and demolition." - (en.wikipedia.org 27.06.2020)
