Statue de Boniface (Mayence). 日本語: ボニファティウス 「ドイツ人の使徒」と呼ばれる。彼は元々アングロ・サクソン人で、ウィンフリドといった。719年に教皇グレゴリウス2世にフリースラントへの布教を依頼され、ボニファティウスの名を授けられた。カール・マルテルの保護を受けてフランク王国の北部・東部地域にカトリックの教会組織を確立しようとした。742年あるいは743年にはアウストラシアの大司教となり、マインツを拠点とした。以後マインツはゲルマニアのキリスト教の中心地となった。のちにマインツ大司教はケルン大司教を抑えてドイツの聖界諸侯の筆頭となり、さらに金印勅書では「帝国大宰相」として選帝侯の筆頭かつ国王選挙の主催者とされた。15世紀には従来アーヘンでおこなわれていた戴冠式もマインツ大司教管轄下のフランクフルト・アム・マインでおこなわれるようになった.

context_page_description: Lièpvre is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. A monastery was built here in the eighth century by Saint Fulrad, who filled it with relics of Saint Cucuphas and Saint Alexander.
context_section_description: Lièpvre (Leberau in German, Lebera or Lebraha in Latin) is a large village situated on the Lièpvrette. The village was founded by Fulrad, a future abbot of Saint Denis, whose parents had extensive possessions in Alsace. People from opposite sides of the Rhine met with each other in the valley of Lièpvre. Fulrad was a Carolingian supporter and probably built a convent in this location as a way to access other side of the border. Fulrad was also very close to benefactors of Wissembourg's abbey, which included Fulrad's brother, Boniface. Fulrad had two brothers, Gausbert and Boniface, and a sister named Waldrade. In 770 Fulrad began construction of a priory in Fulradocella, Lièpvre's primitive name. The priory was later named Leberaha.
  The monks began to cultivate lands in the valley after the founding of the priory. In 774, Charlemagne approved Lièpvre's founding in a diploma sent from Duren and assures him at the same time of several other properties situated in the royal domain of Kintzheim's with good lands for farming and hunting.
  The first road into the valley was constructed in 750 after Fulrad received a license to construct it from Pepin the Short. This road was constructed by serfs from the Saint-Dié (Saint Déodat's) region of the Valley of Galilée. This road passed through Lièpvre into the plain of Alsace. The road no longer exists today, and was replaced in 1761 by another road that passed through to Col de Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines.
