[1] Wernher and his wife Dietburga donated their castle to the canons regular for use as a monastery in 1084 after their only son Gebhard died young.

[4] The Archbishop Conrad I of Salzburg, who "tolerated no hireling or dissolute priests", appointed the like-minded Gerhoh provost of the monastery in 1132.

[5] Conrad gave various tithes to Reichersberg, "except for the canonical portion of the parish priests".

[2] While there, Gerhoh composed his commentary on the Psalms between 1144 and 1148, making much use of the earlier work of Gilbert of Poitiers.

[7] When Gerhoh wrote his Inquiry into the Antichrist in 1662, he had been provost of Reichersberg for thirty years.

[11] The archbishop of Salzburg gave the abbey a pastoral area on what was then the Hungarian border, where the canons are active to this day.

[2] In the mid 16th century master Ulrich Lufftenecker became a teacher at the monastery, and taught students choral singing.

The monastery holds the work of other artists including Josef Matthias Götz, Franz Ignaz Holzinger and Giovanni Battista Carlone.

[3] During World War II (1939-1945) the monastery was forced to provide a home for a flying school, but avoided being closed down.
