Life

Bernold of Ottobeuren, also known as Bernold the Presbyter, was a priest and Benedictine monk and recluse at Ottobeuren Abbey in Swabia in the 11th century, like Hatto and Brun. He is said to have worked miracles even in his lifetime.

On 25 November 1189 Bishop Udalschalk of Augsburg raised the bones of the three monks and placed them in the chapel of Saint Michael. Since 1772 the relics lie in the mausoleum at the Nepomuk altar of the abbey church. He is commemorated on 25 November. He lived after 1054; the sources show no Orthodox canonization.
