In Vindonissa the bishops Bubulcus (first bishop of Vindonissa 517-534), Cromatius (also Cormmatius or Grammatius , bishop from 534 to 552) and Ursinus are attested. According to a building inscription in Vindonissa (today Windisch ), the diocese of Vindonissa was moved to Constance on Lake Constance in 590 .
