Hanno (Worms)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hanno , often also Anno († December 24, 978 ) was a Benedictine and from 950 to 978 Bishop of Worms .

Hanno came from a noble family in the vicinity of Emperor Otto I. The Worms Chronicle of Friedrich Zorn (1604), based on older sources, says about the bishop "a Hess with the name Hanno" and also cites the text of his funerary inscription. He began his Christian theological work as a monk of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier . King Otto I appointed him the first abbot of the Mauritius monastery in Magdeburg in 937 .

13 years later (950) Hanno became the 15th Bishop of Worms at the behest of the later emperor and by his appointment . In 952 he took part in the Synod of Augsburg with St. Ulrich . In 964 Bishop Hanno stayed in Rome ; in the consecration bull of angels relating to the Swiss Benedictine monastery Maria Einsiedeln , Pope Leo VIII named him on November 11th of that year among the prelates who came to Rome from Germany and were consulted by him on this matter. In 970 Hanno stayed again in Italy, where he appeared on March 29, in Ravenna , next to the Empress and Crown Prince Otto , as a witness to a certificate from Emperor Otto I for the St. Maximin Monastery in Trier. In 976 Emperor Otto II gave him the Mosbach Benedictine monastery .

Since December 24, 978 has been passed down as the anniversary of Hanno's death, today on Christmas Eve - in addition to that of Adam and Eve - Hanno's name day is also celebrated.

Hanno is counted among the saints in the Benedictine martyrology , his liturgical feast day in the diocese of Worms was September 20th.

According to the Worms Chronicle by Friedrich Zorn (1604), the episcopal successor Hildebold was his brother.
