History Weissenburg Abbey was founded in 661 by the Bishop of Speyer, Dragobodo. Thanks to donations from the nobility and local landowners the monastery quickly acquired possessions and estates in the Alsace, Electorate of the Palatinate and in the west-Rhine county of Ufgau. As a result, manorial farms and peasant farmsteads were set up and agriculture system introduced to create fertile arable farmland.

In the case of Weissenburg, the story now ran that the abbey had b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
