At the time of St. Blasianischen Rustans Abbot (1108-1125), wrote Abbot Caspar I. in his chronicle, lived on the mountain Berauer the knight Godfrey of Berau. He handed the monastery of St. Blaise all his possessions. That happened to 1110. From 1240 to 1247 was Arnold of Berau abbot of St. Blaise. The Knights of Berau led three black bears heads in the coat of arms.
The convent of St. Blaise was then (1110 ) moved to Berau and remained there for seven centuries. The first monastery church of St. Nicholas was consecrated by the Bishop of Trier on July 4, 1117. The monastery Berau ( and the extended church) of St. Nicholas was consecrated in 1147 by Bishop Hermann of Constance. The first Papal confirmations received the monastery Berau 1120 by Calixtus II, 1140 by Innocent II, 1157 by Adrian IV, and 1178 by Alexander III. In 1126 it was confirmed by King Lothar.
