history
The time of the foundation of the monastery and its founder are unknown. It is believed that it was founded in the second half of the 13th century. The first documentary mention was made in 1298.
Despite support from the Lords of Löwenstein, the monastery became impoverished. In 1310 it was rebuilt after a donation from the knight Hermann Muckelin.
The monastery was probably subordinate to the Eberbach monastery in the Rheingau , but it is not listed in the visitation protocols received from 1498 . A visit to the Daimbach monastery in 1499 was carried out by Abbot Johann von Disibodenberg, a subsidiary of Eberbach, and the archpriest Wigand von Obermoschel.
During the German Peasant War in 1525, the monastery was looted several times.
Pope Julius III approved the abolition of ten monasteries, including the Daimbach monastery, by the Count Palatine Friedrich II in favor of the University of Heidelberg . The abolition of the monastery took place on September 9, 1556.
Nothing is left of the monastery buildings.
