Irmina of Oeren
Irmina of Oeren, also Irmina of Trier, († 704/710 ), was the wife of Hugo Bert from the family of Hugobertiner, which probably bore the title of seneschal and Palatine. Her parents are not known, even if it was done in the tradition of Trier in error at least since the 11th century as the daughter of the Merovingian King Dagobert I.. Certain is that it belonged to one of the powerful families Austriens, which was closely connected with the Carolingians, and that it one of the ancestors of Charles is the Great.
She was the mother of
- Plectrude, 691/717 testifies, the first wife of Pippin the Middle and founder of the monastery of St. Maria im Kapitol in Cologne
- Adela of Pfalzel (* 660, † 735 ), founder of the convent Pfalzel
- Regintrud that after the death of her first husband the Duke of Bavaria Theodbert married his second wife
- Chrodelind
- Bertrada the Elder ( c. 670; † after 721 ), the founder of the Abbey of Prüm and mother of Count Heribert of Laon, the father Bertradas the Younger, was the mother of Charles is again the Great.
Irmina of Oeren was - after the death of Hugo Bert's - the co-founder of the monastery of Echternach, whose foundations they laid 697/698 through a donation together with Basin, Bishop of Trier and his nephew Liutwin, and she confided Willibrord.
She was the second abbess of the convent Oeren (originally St. Mary's, later renamed St. Irminen ) in Trier. The Trier tradition calls them erroneously as the founder of this monastery also.
The monastery was 635-650 under Bishop Modoald in the facilities of the Roman granaries ( horrea - it was later Oeren ) founded on the right bank of the Moselle. The first abbess was Modesta of Oeren. Modesta was a member of the Austrasian nobility. Modesta was with Gertrude of Nivelles and Chlodulf, Bishop of Metz, friends.
Irmina died 704-710, probably the end of 705 or early 706, as on May 13, 706 Willibrord of Echternach of the rule and the protection of Pepin assumed the Middle. On the other hand, it should have been buried on December 24, 708 in Wissembourg in Alsace, where in the 15th century, the corpus integrum sce. Yrmene virginis, Elie Dagoberti regis was counted among the relics.
