Rumo von Ramstein

Last updated

Rumo von Ramstein (died ca. 1300) was abbot of the Abbey of Saint Gall from 1274 until 1281.

Contents

The monk Rumo was a member of the noble family of Ramstein. He was camerarius, sacristan and deacon under the leadership of Abbot Berchtold von Falkenstein (1244-1272) and his immediate successor, Heinrich III von Wartenberg (1272-1274) until the death of the latter. [1] He was then elected anti-abbot to Ulrich VII von Güttingen (1272-1277). After Ulrich's death, Rumo was universally accepted. He staged an economic buy-out of the abbey while disputes with abbey subjects in Appenzell and the Klostervogt were exacerbating the state of affairs. [1] As a result, Rumo abdicated his position in 1281 for a yearly compensation of 100 marks. The document detailing the amount and origin of his pension is dated 15 January 1282. [2] It is the first reference in a document of cheese from the region of Appenzell, as the abbot was to be given 60 cheese loaves a year from the village of Gais, each roughly worth eight denarii. [3] Rumo died between 1297 and 1303. [1]
