Atto from Freising
Atto of Freising , even Atto of Kienberger († 810 / 811 ) was the fifth bishop of Freising from 783/784 to 810/811.
He probably came from the high Baier nobility of the Huosi . He was abbot of Scharnitz and later of Schlehdorf Abbey . Bavarian Duke Tassilo III. gave him a piece of land in 769 to found what is now the Innichen monastery . Atto worked from there in the Christianization of the pagan Slavs of the Puster Valley . He became Bishop of Freising around 783/784. He built a second Benedictine monastery on the Freising Domberg . In the year 808 he acquired the later dominion of Burgrain from the Fagana Riphwin in exchange .
