Backnang Abbey (Stift Backnang), dedicated to Saint Pancras, was a house of Augustinian canons regular in Backnang, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was founded before 1116 by Hermann I, Markgraf of Verona, and his wife Judit von Backnang-Sulichgau. In 1116 Pope Paschal I confirmed the foundation. As early as 1123 under Hermann II of Baden the monastery had to be revived with the help of Augustinians from Marbach Abbey in Alsace. Between 1123 and 1243 the abbey was the burial place of the Zähringen Margraves of Baden, a connection which brought much influence and prosperity.
