Hildegund was a 12th-century German noblewoman who became a nun and the first abbess of a monastery she established. Born into a noble family, she was originally married to Count Lothair of Meer, with whom she had three children. Following the death of her husband, she traveled to Rome with her daughter before returning to Germany. Despite resistance from her relatives, she entered the Premonstratensian Order, transforming her family castle into a religious house where she served as leader.
