Edigna

She remained in Puch until her death on 26 February, 1109, living as a hermit in a hollowed-out linden tree and revered by the people as a miracle worker.

[1] In 1347, a document related to the death of Louis IV near Puch contained the first known written mention of Edigna.

[1] A 1639 votive tablet describes a child from Mammendorf who recovered from an illness immediately after completing a pilgrimage to the site.

[1] Henry I of France and Anne of Kiev are known to have had four children, named Phillip, Robert, Hugo, and Emma.

Julius Langbehn, a German nationalist and antisemite who admired Edigna, was buried near the tree in 1907 at his own request; a nearby street is also named after him.
