'Adelheid ' is a 1969 Czechoslovak drama film directed by František Vláčil, and based on a 1967 novel of the same name by Czech writer Vladimír Körner. The film is set in the Lužec castle located in the town of Vroutek (German: Rudig) in Sudetenland ( Czech and Slovak: Sudety) shortly after World War II.
Adelheid (attested from 1211 to 1233) was abbess of the Benedictine monastery of Saint John Abbey, Müstair, Switzerland. She is the first abbess of that monastery known by name.
According to 15th century tradition, she belonged to the noble family of von Neiffen. Under her leadership, a blood miracle made the abbey a pilgrimage site, and the hospice of Santa Maria Val Müstair was constructed.
