Minnborinus

Saint Minnborinus of Cologne was an Irish abbot active in Germany from 974 to 986. He led a group of missionaries from Ireland who came to Cologne. Archbishop Warin of Cologne made him abbot of Saint Martin's Abbey (now the church of Great Saint Martin) and installed the others there too. Minnborinus governed the abbey from 974 until his repose on 15 August 986, and was succeeded as abbot by another Irishman, Kilian of Cologne.

Because the abbey was declared an Irish house, many dedications to Irish saints arose in the area, among them five churches and seven chapels dedicated to Saint Brigid alone. He is commemorated on 18 July as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
