.History
Wolchanhard was the son of the nobleman Isanhart, who gave him to St Peter's Abbey, Salzburg, possibly as a child oblate.[1] In the Middle Ages, St Peter's was known for its exceptional school.
Berg im Donaugau Abbey was founded by Wolchanhard around 768, as a private monastery for his family. He was also the first abbot. It was dedicated to the Holy Saviour (Sankt Salvator). He attended the synod of Dingolfing in 770.
After the fall of Duke
A deed of 18 May 875 records the gift of the monastery by King Louis the German to the Alte Kapelle ("Old Chapel") in Regensburg, which he himself had built. After the invasion of the Hungarians in the 10th century there is no further record of its existence, and even its exact site is now unknown.
