Fulda Abbey

744 · 8th century

Fulda Abbey was a Benedictine monastery in Hesse, Germany, founded in 744 by Sturm, a disciple of Saint Boniface, who was buried there in 754. Under abbots such as Rabanus Maurus it became one of the leading centres of learning in the Carolingian empire. Its abbots became princes of the Holy Roman Empire, and in 1752 the abbey was raised to a prince-bishopric.
