Saint Utto founded the monastery of Metten in Bavaria in Germany and was its first abbot. One source gives the years of his life as about 750 to 820, while another places his repose in 829. He is commemorated on 3 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources preserve no further details of his life.
