Life

Gunderich of Trier (Gundwich) was bishop of Trier around the year 600 and is venerated as a saint in the Western Church. Very little is known about him.

He probably became bishop as early as 586 or 588 and remained in the see until his repose, before the year 614. His name appears only in a late list of bishops, where he follows Magnerich; he was therefore the second bishop of Trier of Germanic origin. He is said to have been buried in Trier Cathedral.

No other deeds, writings or sure day of commemoration survive. Because the sources are so thin, this note stops here.
