LORCH , a town in the kingdom of
Wurttemberg
 , on the Rems, 26 m. E. from
Stuttgart
  by the railway to Nordlingen. Pop. (1905) 3033. It possesses a fine
Protestant

  dating from the 12th

  monastery of Lorch, founded about IIo8 by Frederick of Hohenstaufen, and in 1563 converted into an Evangelical college. Here Schiller passed a portion of his school days. The
church
  contains several tombs of the Hohenstaufen family. The Roman limes began at Lorch and Roman remains have been found in the neighbourhood of the town.
