History+

The Allerheiligen Monastery was founded around 1195 or 1196 by Duchess Uta von Calw, the widow of Welf VI. The foundation charter was confirmed by the Staufer Emperor Henry VI. Despite the involvement of leading noble families, the abbey, which was elevated to an abbey in 1657, remained regionally limited in its political importance. However, through pastoral care and a monastic school, it exerted influence on the central Black Forest.
