ODILIENBERO, or OTTILIENBERG (called Allitona in the 8th century)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 4 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
ODILIENBERO, or OTTILIENBERG (called Allitona in the 8th century) , a
peak
  of the Vosges Mountains in Germany, in the imperial province of
Alsace
 -
Lorraine
 , immediately W. of the town of Barr. Its crest (2500 ft.) is surmounted by the ruins of the ancient Roman
wall
 , the Heidenmauer, and by the convent and
church
  of St Odilia, or Ottilia, the patron saint of
Alsace
 , whose remains rest within. It is thus the object of frequent pilgrimages. The convent is said to have been founded by Duke Eticho I., in honour of his daughter St Odilia, about the end of the 7th
century
 , and it is certain that it existed at the time of Charlemagne. Destroyed during the wars of the middle ages, it was rebuilt by the Premonstrants at the beginning of the 17th
century
 , and was acquired later by the
bishop
  of Strassburg, who restored the building and the adjoining
church
 , in 1853. Since 1899 the convent has contained a museum of antiquities.
See. Reinhard, Le Mont Ste 'Odile (Strassburg, 1888) ; Pfister, Le Duche merovingien d'Alsace et la legende de Sainte Odile (
Nancy
 , 1892) ; and R. Forrer, Der Odilienberg (Strassburg, 1899).
