Magnus of Füssen

Magnus of Füssen was born, according to tradition, in Ireland and was a missionary in southern Germany, called the Apostle of the Allgäu. He is said to have preached with Saints Columbanus and Gall, and the sources place him either in the time of Gall (died 627) or in that of Boniface (died 754). He founded the monastery at Füssen in Bavaria, called St. Mang's Abbey. He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

His commemoration falls on 6 September (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 19 September of the civil calendar.
