The monastery, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was founded in 1132 by Konrad and Arbo von Sittling-Biburg, sons of the Blessed Berta of Biburg, who gave their castle to the Bishop of Bamberg for the purpose.
The foundation was originally a double monastery for both men and women; the nunnery however burnt down in 1258 and was not re-built.
In 1589 the Jesuit College of Ingolstadt obtained the buildings, which were taken over in 1781 by the Knights Hospitaller.
