Abarhild (Buchau)
Abarhild (* around 1000 ) was the 4th abbess of the free worldly Buchau women's monastery in what is now Bad Buchau am Federsee .
Little is known about the life of Abarhild. We know about Buchau that around 1014 or 1022 it was granted the right to coin and market. The leading scholar of his time, Hermann the Lahme, reports in his Chronicle of the World, Chronicon, about an Abarhild who succeeded Irmentraud in 1021 as abbess of the Buchau monastery. Whether the addition of Hermann
- "Ex quo tempore, locus illegis magis magisque in deterius defluere coepit."
Criticism of Abarhild's management of the monastery is unclear. After his remarks about the Buchau Abbey, the chronicler Hermann deals with the then Emperor Heinrich II and writes: "Henricus imperator in Italiam expeditionem movit." Abarhild's name is also recorded in the Abarhild's finding aid from 1605.
