Saint Ernest de Neresheim

Ernst of Neresheim (born in Dillingen an der Donau; died 1096 in Mecca) is said to have been the first abbot of Neresheim Abbey, according to an early modern tradition of the monastery. The monks there regarded him as a saint and martyr (feast day: presumably July 13). However, according to Paulus Weißenberger (1962), this is either a confusion with Saint Ernst of Zwiefalten or even an attempt to outrank Zwiefalten Abbey by adopting its tradition.
