Before Dietmar von Lauda embarked on the Second Crusade (1147–1149), he founded a nunnery on the Schefflenz Bach in Billigheim, which was first mentioned in 1166 and which was attached to the Cistercian order in 1238 by the Würzburg Bishop Hermann I of Lobdeburg . It was initially subordinate to Ebrach Monastery , later to the nearby Schöntal Monastery . The original name Marienbrunn gave way to other names, including "Little Monastery of the Seven Bliss". When there was only one nun in the monastery when the last abbess, Katharina II von Günderode died in 1584, the archbishop of Mainz, Wolfgang von Dalberg , closed the monastery.
