Alto of Altomünster

Saint Alto was the eponymous founder of Altomünster Abbey in about 750, a monastery in Bavaria around which a market town grew up, also called Altomünster. Little is known about him: he is believed to have been a wandering Irish monk, and to have been a hermit at Munich and Augsburg. His feast day is celebrated on 9 February. There is a Vita by Otloh of St. Emmeram of c. 1062.
