The Collegiate Church of St. Pauli was founded in 1045. Originally conceived as a collegiate church, the complex was later taken over by Benedictine monks and transformed into a monastery. This development reflects the eventful history of ecclesiastical institutions in Central Europe, which was often characterized by the takeover by various orders.
