Froumund from Tegernsee

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Froumund von Tegernsee (similar spelling: Fromund ) (* around 960 in southwest Germany; † on October 20 between 1008 and 1012) was a Benedictine . He became known through an extensive prosaic and poetic work, which comprises a total of 13 writings. This also includes regional letters from Feuchtwangen Monastery , which are handed down in the Clm “Codex latinus monacensis” 19412 as “Feuchtwanger Briefe”.

Life

Around 990 Froumund is mentioned for the first time as a monk of the monastery of St. Pantaleon , as a scholastic in Cologne . St. Pantaleon was founded in 964 and soon spread to the eastern Franconian empire as a reform monastery. At that time he was probably already a member of the Tegernsee Convention and his stay in Cologne was for educational purposes. There he dealt with studies of the Latin and Greek languages. In the convent in Tegernsee Froumund was one of the teachers of the future Abbot Ellinger . The abbot Gozbert of the St. Quirinius monastery sent Tegernsee monks to revive the decrepit monastery of Our Lady of Feuchtwangen . This was probably done at the request of Bishop Liutold of Augsburg . Dean Wigo went there with several brothers in order to get life in the monastery back on the right track. The catastrophic conditions in the monastery describe 16 letters from the learned monk Froumund and the abbot Wigo from the years 991 to 995. These letters are addressed to Bishop Liutold of Augsburg, Queen Adelheid , the Bavarian Duke Heinrich and a Count E.

Wigo and Froumund are likely to have finished their assignment in 1002 and returned to their home monastery, where they died. Their names are listed closely to one another in the fraternity book of St. Peter in Salzburg, created in the year 1004.

Froumund's last sign of life contains letter number 93 from his collection.
