Saint Lioba was born around 710 in Wessex (southern England). Her parents Dynne and Aebbe belonged to the higher nobility.

By the way: The body of water was first mentioned in documents in 764 as super fluuium Salusiam. Since no salt extraction has been proven on the Selz, the name is probably derived from the ancient Celtic word *salā for "dirt" or Old High German salo "dark" and refers to the color of the water.

The wine-growing community of Schornsheim was first mentioned in 782 AD in a deed of donation from Charlemagne to the Hersfeld monastery. He made his Schornsheim treasury, including the church and land, available to "Saint Lioba" as a retirement home. She is one of the most important women of the Middle Ages. Although Lioba of Tauberbischofsheim only lived in Schornsheim for a few months before her death, she is still very present here today. She stands as a bronze Benedictine abbess in the middle of the village square and is surrounded by an artificial stream. At her feet stands a sewing machine - also made of bronze. It symbolizes the long tradition of many Schornsheim tailor families who worked for large factories in Mainz, Worms and Darmstadt. https://www.rheinhessen-mitte.de/a-geschichtsbrunnen

The Selz is a 61 km long, southern and left tributary of the Rhine and one of the main waterways in Rhenish Hesse. It flows in the Rhenish Hesse table and hill country in Rhineland-Palatinate through the Palatinate Donnersberg district and the Rhenish Hesse districts of Alzey-Worms and Mainz-Bingen. (Wikipedia)
