June 12, 2025, Mönchshof Schwabach

The area of today's Mönchshof was the nucleus of Schwabach in the 8th century. A Franconian royal court likely stood here. In 1195, the property passed to the Ebrach Monastery in the Steigerwald and has been known as the Mönchshof ever since. The Mönchshof is the largest historic farm complex in Schwabach. The main building was rebuilt in 1539 and 1793, and during the first reconstruction, the Ebrach coat of arms was affixed to the exterior façade.

The Old Cemetery is a historical legacy and offers a quiet retreat in the city. The Trinity Church is built on the cemetery, which was established in 1528 on the “Ostanger” outside the city. On the 1st Advent of 1608, this third Schwabach inner-city church is consecrated by Dean Georg Renner (1592-1623).

When passing through by bike, a stop in Schwabach's city center is always nice with its ice cream parlors and cafes
