Gerhard (fl 946) was from 932 to 946 the 14th Bishop of Passau. [1] [2] [3]
Gerhard was perhaps Abbot of Metten, and was probably elevated to Bishop of Passau by Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria. He was regarded as a pious, virtuous, and erudite bishop, whom the annals of Reichersberg called saints.
He probably undertook a trip to Rome in 937. His report of ecclesiastical abuses in Germany led Pope Leo VII to send him back as papal legate, with full powers to restore discipline. [4]
