The origins of the convent date back to 1350, when the community of Tertiary sisters in Rothenburg ob der Tauber was established. As a Tertiary convent, it was an institution for women who lived according to the rules of a Third Order, without, however, undertaking the strict cloister of the first orders. These communities played an important role in the religious and social life of the time, often engaged in charitable or educational tasks. The development of the convent over the centuries is closely linked to the history of the city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
