<< Irmgardis von Süchteln >> "The legend: The Irmgardis legend probably originated in the middle of the 14th century. According to it, Irmgardis was a daughter of the Count of Zutphen who, after the death of her parents, renounced all earthly wealth and withdrew into solitude to Süchteln to serve God entirely. She owned the forest near Süchteln with all its accessories, as well as the town of Rees and Aspel Castle. At the end of her life, she bequeathed these properties to the church, namely Rees and Aspel Castle to the Archbishop of Cologne and the forest near Süchteln to the monastery of Saint Pantaleon in Cologne because her brother was abbot there. She was eventually driven out of Süchteln by the envy of spiteful people. However, her stay was long enough for her to reach the first stage of perfection. In order to reach the stage of perfection, she then went to the city of Cologne. There she visited the holy places, served the poor and made three pilgrimages to Rome. From the holy city she brought, among other things, the head of Pope Sylvester to Cologne. When she died, she was buried in the cathedral."
