German of Solovki was a 15th-century Russian hermit and monk who played a central role in establishing the Solovetsky Monastery. Born in Totma, he sought solitude and traveled to the remote Solovetsky Islands around 1429 with a monk named Sabbatius. After several decades of living as a hermit on the islands, he later joined Zosima to help found the monastic community. He spent much of his life in isolation before eventually returning to the mainland, where he died in Veliky Novgorod in 1479.
