Wigger

Wigger was abbot of the Benedictine abbey of Saint Maximin at Trier in Germany, and reposed, in all likelihood, on 8 May 966. He was probably a monk and deacon already before 934, and from 957 he led the abbey.

As abbot he restored the economic condition of the monastery, which had gone through hard times. In 962 he succeeded in founding a cell at Taben near Saarburg, which he settled with twenty monks from Saint Maximin. Little else is preserved about him. He is venerated as a saint in the local tradition and in German martyrologies; in the Western calendar he is commemorated on 8 May (new style).
