Diemoth (latinised as Diemudus, Diemut, Diemud, Diemuth, Diemod or Diemudis) was a recluse at Wessobrunn Abbey in Upper Bavaria, Germany, born around 1060 and died on 30 March, probably in 1130.
[1] Her name comes from the Middle High German word for "humility" or "modesty")[2] Little is known about Diemoth's private life.
[3] Diemoth had herself enclosed in a cell adjoining the church, where she spent the remainder of her life in prayer and in transcribing valuable books.
Diemoth was a great friend of the Blessed Herluka with whom she exchanged numerous letters while the latter was a recluse at the neighbouring monastery of Epfach.
Diemoth was buried in the basilica of Our Lady at Wessobrunn, beside the bodies of Abbot Thiento and his six companions, who suffered martyrdom at the hands of the Hungarians in 955.
