Maternus (saint, feast day: September 14th; † around 328) was the third bishop of Trier according to the Trier bishops' lists and is mentioned as the first historically attested bishop of Cologne in the years 313 and 314 as a participant in councils in Rome and Arles. He is considered a patron saint against fever, contagious diseases and for the growth of vines. According to the Ecumenical Saints' Lexicon, Maternus means "the motherly one". The family name Mattern is derived from Saint Maternus.
