Claim: Rot an der Rot Abbey was a direct subordinate to the pope, and its monastery church was dedicated to St. Verena who is an early Christian saint and hermit.
Evidence: Presumably, from the time of its foundation the monastery was directly subordinate to the pope and not to a local or regional ecclesiastical chapter. The monastery church, dedicated to St Verena, and the convent buildings are an important part of the Upper Swabian Baroque Route. Saint Verena is an early Christian saint and hermit associated with the Theban Legion.
