I just adore this frame. It'd surely be a place you'd find someone like me spending hours away at.

Hirsau was one of the most important monastaries in "Germany" during medeival times. This guy was its first abbot but due to political reasons he had to leave it and settle at this site here. He died at Michealskloster and later on his burial site became a place of pilgrimmage.
