The history of the Schafferhof is closely linked to the Cistercian monastery of Waldsassen, which played a significant role in the northern Upper Palatinate. As a residential stable house, it once served as accommodation for both people and animals and was an integral part of the monastic economic structure. Such farms were of great importance for the supply of the monastery and the administration of its lands.
