Lauterstein (Massenbachhausen)
Lauterstein is a desert near Massenbachhausen in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg . In the high Middle Ages there was a castle and a women's convent there. The hamlet probably went off towards the end of the 15th century. The approximate location of the place is marked by the recently built Lautersteiner Höfe .
history
Was first mentioned in Lauterstein among other places around the year 1188 as Lutgersteigen in a document of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa to equip the wedding of his son Conrad with the Spanish princess Berengaria of Castile . Since this marriage was never consummated and was later declared invalid, Berenguela never took possession of Lauterstein. In 1246, on the occasion of the donation of a church in Zimmer by Erkinger von Magenheim to the Cistercian order, sisters of this order in Lauterstein were mentioned. These sisters were supposed to move into the new convent in rooms, which was then occupied by the Böckingen monastery in Mariental . In 1292 the Lauterstein nuns sold some of their goods there to Schwicker von Bruchsal. In 1441 the whole hamlet was sold. Then the place seems to have gone. 1581 there was the denunciation of the place, but there was only still a wine press. In the 19th century only traces of settlement were reported. More recently, the Lautersteiner Höfe were built as Aussiedlerhöfe near the former settlement.
