The foundation of the Augustinian Canons based on the foundation charter of 16 May 1147, where the Count Otto von Machland and his wife Jeutta Peilstein put parts of his extensive possessions in today's municipal area for the monastery Säbnich (high above the Danube near Sarmingstein) hands. After his death (1148 +) the members appointed by him Augustinian canons of Säbnich go away and move the monastery to the present site and give it the name "Domus Silva" - the house in the woods - Waldhausen
