The Hunting Lodge is on of the three biggest parts of the ruins of Hirsau Abbey. Hirsau is a village in the northern part of the Black Forest, today a suburb of Calw, has a great history. In particular the Hirsau Abbey was one of the most prominent Benedictine abbeys of Germany. Founded around 830 AD by Count Erlafried of Calw it served as an abbey until it was destroyed by French soldiers in 1692. By the way, the famous William of Hirsau, abbot from 1069 to 1091, introduced the Astrolab for measuring latitude positions. Therefore, the Hirsau abbey served already more than one millennium ago for geodetic purposes, a fact not well-known to the geodetic community. Today, just ruins are found, one can see the Cloister, the ruins of the Hunting lodge, and the Lady chapel (used today as an protestant church).
