Trudpert (saint)
Trudpert was an Irish missionary in Breisgau , he is said to have received around 650 (after the very poor news) from a Count Othbert in a valley of the Neumagen river a piece of land for a spiritual foundation. He founded a branch in this place and built a chapel. But he was only able to preach the gospel for three years , then he was killed by two servants with an ax. That is why he was venerated as a saint. The Benedictine monastery St. Trudpert in Münstertal / Black Forest goes back to him . Remembrance day is April 26th.
Lore
