Life

Saint Adalbero of Augsburg was a monk, abbot of Ellwangen and later bishop of Augsburg in Germany. He reposed in 909; the life of his disciple Saint Ulrich of Augsburg has him dying on 28 April 910. The Church commemorates him on 28 April.

He was the uncle of Saint Ulrich. He became a monk around 850 and was made abbot of Ellwangen. He restored the monastery of Lorsch and was then raised to be bishop of Augsburg.

The young Ulrich was sent to him, as to a kinsman, for his training, and the bishop made him his chamberlain. After Adalbero's death Ulrich returned home, and later became bishop of the same see himself.
