The Monastery of St. Mang was founded in the early 9th century. Originally dedicated to Mary, it received the patronage of Saint Magnus from the 10th century onwards. For many centuries, the convent shaped the religious and cultural life of the region. The monastery's existence ended in 1803 with the secularization, which led to the dissolution of numerous ecclesiastical institutions in Bavaria.
