Tuta (Buchau)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tuta († after 1100 ) was the seventh abbess of the free worldly Buchau women's monastery in what is now Bad Buchau am Federsee .

Hermann the Lahme noted in one last sentence in his world chronicle Chronicon Suevicum universale 1051 that the then reigning Emperor Heinrich III. "Tuta, nobilis prudens et religiosa vidua", a person named Tuta in Buchau and Lindau appointed as abbess. The emperor's intervention in the occupation of a headmaster's office in a women's monastery is justified by the fact that Tuta in Buchau and Lindau was supposed to re-establish the lost order in the monastery.

In the later writings of the monastery, Tuta is called " Guota von Trießen ". Trießen could be interpreted as Diessen. Diessen near Haigerloch is out of the question, rather Diessen am Ammersee , because a deceased canon named Tuota von Driessen has been commemorated in the St. Stefan's convent there since the early 13th century .
