Lecture: Bishop Radolt of Verona

Around 1,200 years ago, Bishop Radolt of Verona had a church built on Reichenau land, which is rightly regarded as the starting point of Radolfzell’s town history. This raises questions: What motivated a bishop from northern Italy to act in this way outside his diocese? Moreover, there is no founding document that could vouch for this process. We read about it in a literary text of uncertain credibility. Are there nevertheless indications that allow us to outline the foundation in terms of facts and time? The lecture shows what can be reliably reported about Radolt and his work on Lake Constance.
