The origins of the Benedictine Provostry of Schriesheim lie in the 12th century, when it was founded as a monastery. It belonged to the Benedictine order, whose monks dedicated themselves to prayer and work. However, the provostry's existence was not long-lived, as it was dissolved or secularized before the year 1229. The provostry's patronage was dedicated to Saint Vitius.
