Konrad von Sellenbüren
In 1120 Knight Konrad von Sellenbüren wanted to found a monastery, the question was just where it would be. One night the good Knight Konrad had a revelation that he would let a bull lead the way.
He did so and when he came to the valley where Engelberg is today the bull stopped and Konrad understood that he had found the right place. One day when the monastery was completed Konrad and Abbott Adelhelm tried to think of a suitable name for the monastery. Suddenly they heard a choir of angels sing. They turned around and saw the angelic choir up on top of the mountain Hahn. Engelberg, Angel Hill, felt suddenly a very suitable name, something we are happy to agree with.
