In 1171, Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa transferred the monastery to the Augustinian Canons and thus endowed the monastery with extensive privileges and goods that he gave to monks from the Hördt Monastery under Abbot Adalbert . In the same year the monastery received market rights. Presumably, the construction of the new convent began in this time in the Hohenstaufen ashlar construction .
In 1279 the Giengener plundered the monastery, in 1449 the monastery and village of Herbrechtingen were plundered again. In 1472 the Propsteig building was rebuilt.
Around 1520 monastic discipline gradually fell into disrepair, and the provosts of Ulm and Augsburg tried unsuccessfully to reform.
In 1552 Duke Ulrich von Württemberg closed the monastery and converted it into a Protestant monastery office . The duke appointed the provosts.
After some renovations to the monastery buildings in 1563, Herbrechtingen was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War after the battle of Nördlingen .
In 1666 the fruit box was rebuilt in half-timbered construction on the foundation walls of the Augustinian Convent from 1200 . As a result, some buildings were rebuilt or partially renovated.
From 1807 the monastery buildings were empty; In 1830 the monastery was sold to Ludwig von Hartmann , who had the convent wing torn down and set up a modern spinning mill in the remaining buildings .
