Jutta of Sponheim
1091 – 1136
Disibodenberg Monastery, Rhineland, Germany
“The door was sealed. The bishop spoke the prayers for the dead.”
Young Hildegard's first teacher. Jutta was enclosed at age 20 with the child Hildegard in a cell at Disibodenberg. As Jutta's reputation grew, other women joined them — an anchorhold became a convent.
