Saint Sturm was an 8th-century Benedictine monk and a dedicated disciple of Boniface. Born in Enns, Austria, he was educated at the monastery in Fritzlar before beginning his missionary work. He is most famous for founding the Fulda Abbey in Germany, where he served as the first abbot from approximately 747 until his death in 779. During his leadership, he secured the monastery's independence and established it as a significant religious center and pilgrimage site.
