Drogo from Minden
Drogo († June 5, 902 ) was Bishop of Minden from 886 to 902 .
Life
Nothing is known about the early life of Drogo. After the death of Bishop Wulfhar von Minden , it took some time before the bishopric was filled with Drogo. Drogo is first mentioned as bishop by Charles the Fat at a provincial synod in Cologne in 887 . There he was ordained a bishop. In 890, at the time of Arnulf of Carinthia , he took part in a synod in Frankfurt. Together with the bishops of Münster and Osnabrück, he confirmed that the diocese of Bremen was a suffragan of the archbishopric of Cologne . Drogo also participated in the Synod of Tribur in 895.
The Möllenbeck Monastery was founded in the time of Drogo as the second nunnery in the diocese. The founders placed the facility under the protection of drugs. He supported the foundation materially by donating the tithes of a hundred pieces of land from the property of the Minden Bishop's Church to the monastery. For this, the nuns had to pay the bishop five solidi taxes a year. The bishop should also be received once a year.
According to the Fulda necrology , June 5th was the day of his death. The Möllenbeck nuns also commemorated drugs on this day.
