The monastery of Fulda was a Benedictine abbey in Fulda, in the present-day German state of Hesse.It was founded in 744 by Saint Sturmi, a disciple of Saint Boniface. Through the 8th and 9th century, the Fulda monastery became a prominent center of learning and culture in Germany, and a site of religious significance and pilgrimage following the burial of Boniface. The growth in population around Fulda would result in its elevation to a diocese in the 18th century.
