Maximian of Trier

Maximian of Trier was bishop of Trier around the turn of the 5th and 6th centuries, the predecessor of Fibicius, who held the see by 502. He is probably the bishop mentioned in a letter of Archbishop Avitus of Vienne to Caesarius of Arles, dated between 502 and 508 and in any case no later than 513: a letter of recommendation for a blinded bishop, described as "holy", who wished to seek healing at Arles.

Our sources show no liturgical veneration, feast day or miracles; the only sign of holiness is the word "holy" in that letter. The period was troubled, as Trier entered the sphere of the Rhine Franks based in Cologne. He should not be confused with Saint Maximinus of Trier, who died around 346.
