Gunderich of Trier
Tabula Episcoporum Trevirensium
Gunderich of Trier, also Gundwich (fl. c. 600) was a bishop of Trier, born in the 6th century.[1]
Gunderich may well have became bishop of Trier as early as 586/588; he apparently remained bishop until his death some time before 614. He is known only from a bishops' list, in which he is placed after Magnerich,:[2] he was therefore the second bishop of Trier of Germanic origin. Otherwise, little is known about him.
However, if he was a disciple of Magnerich he probably had access to the court of the German kings.[3] He was reportedly buried after his death in Trier Cathedral.
