Werden was a wealthy abbey with possessions in Westphalia, Frisia, eastern Saxony and around the abbey itself, where it had a territory of 125 km².
The abbey church of Werden, destroyed by fire in 1256, was rebuilt in the late Romanesque style (1256-75).

 Werden
Upon the death of St. Ludger, 26 March, 809, the abbacy of Werden went by inheritance first to his younger brother Hildigrim I (809-827), then successively to four of his nephews: Gerfried (827-839), Thiadgrim (ruled less than a year), Altfried (839-848), Hildigrim II (849- 887).
Under the latter, the abbey church, begun by St. Ludger, was completed in 875, and solemnly dedicated to Our Saviour by Archbishop Willibert of Cologne, to whose archdiocese the monastery of Werden belonged.
Werden was one of the richest abbeys in Germany.

If the admirable and perplexing Abbey could be summed up in one word, it would have to be curmudgeon; applying his wrath and logic at will depending upon mood and provocation, yet one with a delight of stirring motions within others and then impishly standing back to watch the results.
Abbey's theme and writing niche was discovered early in life; the constant rebellion to progress, pomp and formality were seemingly intentional.
So open was Abbey in his determination of stopping progress that the FBI had agents assigned to watch and report on him for most of his adult life.

The Benedictine Abbey on the island of Reichenau on Lake Constance was responsible for its creation and spared nothing as can be seen in the unusually large format and length of the codex, the brillance of its initials, and the monumental full-page miniatures with their shimmering gold backgrounds.
This is the most precious and well kept MS of the abbey, its luminous colors, abundant gold and silver on every page and two purple pages (the rarest color), and flawless white vellum are so well preserved that it gives the impression of having been recently written.
