History

The foundation of the monastery of St. Margareth pin to tree castle by Count Berengar I of Sulzbach for 1107/ 09 was his vow in 1105 on the death of his wife Countess Adelaide of Megling Frontenhausen advance. Count Berengar I sat by his numerous obligations under pressure, Eberwin provost about the monastery and presented him the Augustinian Canons to the side, which he had earlier appointed along with Eberwin establishing the monastery pin Berchtesgaden from the monastery of Waterloo. In addition, he appropriated the new monastery also Berchtesgaden goods. However, at the request of Berengar returned Eberwin back about 1116 (according to Helm 1106-1112, according Feulner probably around 1116, according to Albrecht and Weinfurter between 1116 and mid- 1119 ) to Berchtesgaden to lead it again as an independent monastery.

After the death of Berengar ( December 3, 1125 ) he had challenged the legality of the separation of the two pins, and turned to the competent bishop, Archbishop Konrad I of Salzburg ( 1106-1147 ), for an order for re- merging. Only after an arbitration award Conrad in 1136 the juxtaposition of the two pins in the sense of Berengar was reaffirmed in 1142 and reaffirmed by Pope Innocent II. The Baumburger claims, however, were dismissed as " simple-minded opinion of certain brothers ".
