Donor picture of the lost vitae of St. Pinnosa and Cosmas and Damian : Hathwig , Abbess of the Essen Monastery, hands over the manuscript to the enthroned Mary at the request of Pinnosa . Redrawing from 1597

Saint Pinnosa was the predecessor of Ursula of Cologne in the legend about the eleven or eleven thousand virgins who are said to have been massacred by the Huns on a pilgrimage at the gates of Cologne.

For the first time Pinnosa was mentioned in the "Sermo in Natali" at the beginning of the 10th century as the leader of the holy virgins and declared a British king's daughter.

The relics of the Pinnosa were transferred from Cologne to Gerresheim in 970 when Archbishop Gero inaugurated the rebuilt monastery there. In the first “passio Ursulae” in Cologne Codex 45 between 946 and 962, Ursula is finally named as the leader of the virgins, and prevailed towards the end of the 10th century.
