Saint Thietmar (Dietmar Thiemo) of Minden was bishop of Minden from 1185 or 1186 until his death in 1206. According to tradition Thietmar was from Bavaria.It was Thietmar’s custom to eat only bread and water although this practice physically weakened him. A miracle recorded of him states that one day when water from the well was brought to him by a servant it had become wine. The bishop rejected the wine and asked for water again.
