Heilsbronn is a town in the
Mittelfranken administrative region of Franconia, in the German state of Bavaria between Nuremberg and Ansbach, in the wooded valley of the Rangau
. Its hallmark is the Katharinenturm, a medieval tower.
Heilsbronn should not be confused with the far larger city of Heilbronn, which lies 130 km further west.
Heilsbronn Abbey
In the Middle Ages it was the seat of one of the great monasteries of Germany, with possessions around Franconia as far as
electors of Brandenburg, and many other persons of note are buried within its walls.[3]
The Monk of Heilsbronn is the ordinary appellation of a didactic poet of the 14th century, whose Sieben Graden, Tochter Syon and Leben des heiligen Alexius were published by J. F. L. T. Merzdorf at Berlin in 1870.[3]
