Passau is a town in Niederbayern, Eastern Bavaria, Germany, known also as Dreiflüssestadt ( the City of three rivers), because the Danube River is joined there by the Inn River from the South, and the Ilz River coming out of the Bavarian Forest to the North.
The town is dominated by the Veste Oberhaus, the former fortress of the Bishop, on the mountain crest beween the Danube and the Ilz rivers.
Passau is the hometown of Anna Rosmus whose story of the town's Nazi past was told in her 1983 book Resistance and Persecution in Passau from 1933 to 1939 and the 1999 award-winning film, Das schreckliche Mädchen.

The calendar is identical with the diocese of Olmütz (see Grotefend): Ludmilla martyr (September 16, with her translation on November 10), Procopius, Abbot of Prague (July 4); Adalbert, bishop of Prague (April 23); Wenceslas, king (September 28, with translation March 4, in red, in Breslau, Gnesen, Krakau, Olmütz, and Prague).
