Witta of Büraburg was an 8th-century Anglo-Saxon missionary and bishop who operated in the regions of Hesse and Thuringia. Born in the Kingdom of Wessex, he became a dedicated disciple and companion to Saint Boniface and Saint Lullus. Following the creation of the bishopric at Büraburg near Fritzlar in 741, he served as its first and only bishop. His religious work contributed significantly to the early Christianization of central Germany during this period.
