Hildegard (Buchau)
Hildegard (* after 1000 ) was the 5th abbess of the free-world Buchau women's monastery in what is now Bad Buchau am Federsee .
Evidence of Hildegard's existence can be found in Hermann the Lame , a leading scholar of his time. His entry from the year 1027 in his world chronicle Chronicon deals rather with the Roman-German Salierkönig Konrad II. , Who this year with his wife Gisela of Swabia after Rome withdrew to the Emperor to be crowned. But his last sentence for the year 1027 is:
- "Hiltegard Buochaugiae abbatissa effictur".
A Hildegard took up her post as abbess in 1027. Assumptions that the assumption of office of the Abbess Egila following Hildegard in 1043 or 1045 are to be equated with the date of her death cannot be substantiated.
