Life

Rotho (Rotho von Büren) was bishop of Paderborn in Germany from 1036 until his death on 7 November 1051 at Paderborn. He was born around 1000, of a noble family, the counts of Werl, in Westphalia.

Our sources are very brief and give no other details of his life, deeds or veneration. He is counted among the saintly bishops of the West, but the sources consulted show no liturgical veneration and no day of remembrance.

He died before the separation of the Churches in 1054; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
