Life

Adelindis was a widow who founded the convent of Buchau on the Federsee in Württemberg in Germany and entered it as a nun, perhaps also as its abbess. She reposed around the year 930. She is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

Her commemoration falls on 28 August (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 10 September of the civil calendar. We have no further details of her life.
