Liutold of Admont

Liutold von Admont († 1171 ) was abbot of the Admont monastery from 1165 to 1171 . He worked in the spirit of the Admont monastery reform .

The Admont monk Liutold, who was elected abbot after Abbot Gottfried I's death, had already come to Admont as a boy (his parents were the Hollenburg Reginher von Touernich and Petrissa von Feistritz) and received his education as a Benedictine oblate. Many months passed between his election as abbot on July 1, 1165 and the benediction by Archbishop Konrad II of Salzburg on April 17, 1166 due to the troubled political conditions. We know very little about his abbatiate , but he obviously worked in the spirit of his predecessors. During his seven-year term of office, two postings as abbot fall and, through Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa, the subordination of the Neuburg nunnery near Ingolstadt to the Admont monastery reform.

Around 1180, shortly before his death, Luitold's father Reginher also entered the Admont monastery.
