Ingbert
The Holy Ingbert (also known as Ingobert or Inge Bert ) was a legendary hermit , who probably died around 650th His hermit cell was located in the area of today's city of St. Ingbert , Saarland , which is named after him; a church of his name has not been preserved, but today's St. Engelberts Church was originally supposed to be called St. Ingobertus when it was built. His feast day is October 22nd . The name is derived from gloss by Ingwio ( ahd. ).
Ingobert is mentioned in connection with the naming of other hermits, namely Wendelin , Wulfialich , Disibod , Carilef , Beatus and Bantus in the Gesta Treverorum as well as from the vita of the Trier bishop Magnerich , written by Abbot Eberwein . Little is known about Ingbert's life. Representations show the saint as a hermit in front of a cave or a cross. The historical core of the life of these legendary saints cannot be verified, the available sources do not even allow a reliable date to be in the 7th century. It is assumed that they represent a first Christian and missionary-oriented stratum of Teutons who carried the Christianity adopted in the Upper Moselle region (Diocese of Verdun) to the east. In fact, they are venerated as popular saints in the 12th century and as such are highly regarded.
Legends attribute Ingbert and the rest of the contemporary hermits an origin of Irish and Scottish nobility.
