Saint Trudpert (d. 607 or 644) was a missionary in Germany in the seventh century. He is generally called a Celtic monk from Ireland, but some consider him to be German.
Having procured the approval of the pope for his mission, Trudpert traveled along the Rhine until he came to Breisgau, where he established a hermitage near Münstertal. The local lord gave him the land, where Trudpert cleared the trees and built a cell. The noble also loaned him some serfs to assist with his labors; according to tradition, Trudpert was murdered by two of them. He was buried in his oratory, which became a site of pilgrimage.
