The monastery at Maulbronn was founded in 1147 by the Cisterian Order under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Speyer. A town grew up around the monastery which officially became a municipality in 1838. Today, the municipality of Maulbronn includes the villages of Maulbronn, Schmie, and Zaisersweiher and the deserted village of Hadandesheim.
