St. Pirmin founded the Reichenau Monastery in 724. Three years later, Pirmin left Reichenau again and founded more monasteries. Saint Pirminius is regarded as the ultimate messenger of faith in southwest Germany and Alsace. He is one of the wandering monks who proclaimed the Christian faith and reorganized church life in the Frankish empire, which was steeped in paganism for a long time after the migration period. He acts on behalf of the Carolingians, especially their caretaker Karl Martell.
Characteristic of his work was the founding of monasteries, to which he gave the rule of the order of St. Benedict of Nursia and which became centers of the preaching of the faith in the respective region. Pirminius is considered to be the forerunner of the Reformed Abbot Benedict von Aniane, who in 817 made all the monasteries of the Frankish Empire subject to the Benedictine observance.

It goes on and you are greeted by St. Pirmin. St. Pirmin with his signature snake, frogs and the bishop's staff is the founder of the monastery on the island of Reichenau and would be the best friend of every gardener. Legend has it that all evil worms left the island when the holy Pirmin entered the island.
