- Title
Some churches of the Anglo-Saxon missionaries in southern Germany: a review of the evidence.
- Authors
Parsons, David
- Abstract
An historical introduction outlines the main events in the lives of the principal missionaries - Willibald, Wynnebald, Waldburga, Sola - during the central years of the eighth century, and argues that Willibald was consecrated bishop of Erfurt. A review of the topographical and archaeological evidence concentrates on Eichstätt, whose street pattern reveals the layout of the early town and monastery; new interpretations are suggested for unusual features uncovered by excavation at the cathedral/monastery site. The excavations at Solnhofen are similarly re-examined. Overall, no substantial evidence is found for Anglo-Saxon influence on the church archaeology of the area.
