Albrecht came from Ötisheim and was abbot from 1402 to 1428. With him, Maulbronn Monastery flourished again. Through his study of theology in Prague he probably trained his artistic sense, of the net vaults and wall paintings in the nave is expressed. He made improvements to the fortifications of churches in localities that belonged to the monastery. In 1407 he baptized Margrave Jakob I of Baden . In 1408 he built a new altar, which was enlarged and embellished in 1424. In 1425 he accepted Count Albert von Hohenlohe and his wife Elisabeth von Hanau into the brotherhood of his order. Johannes Maulberg († December 4, 1414), a priest who had to flee due to his criticism of "degenerate" monasteries, he gave a refuge and finally a burial place with an honorable epitaph . In 1420 he received an order from Pope Martin V to reform the monasteries and monasteries in the Rhine Palatinate with the then abbot of Neuburg Abbey . As the councilor of King Ruprecht , the abbot had a close connection with the Palatinate court in Heidelberg .
His epitaph is in the Maulbronn monastery church, whereupon it was noted that He may rejoice with God who was able to celebrate this jubilee time here .
