In 1278, the brothers Johannes and Lambertus founded the Cistercian monastery in Schale and endowed it with several possessions. The foundation was confirmed by a charter from the Osnabrück bishop Konrad II of Rietberg dated October 21, 1278. The convent originated from the Börstel monastery. The monastery was called ad Scalam dei (=to the ladder of God, to the ladder to heaven), which is why a ladder is depicted in the Schal coat of arms.
