Rumo von Ramstein

{{Short description|13th-century abbot of the Abbey of Saint Gall}}

Rumo von Ramstein (died ca. 1300) was abbot of the Abbey of Saint Gall from 1274 until 1281.

The monk Rumo was a member of the noble family of Ramstein. He was camerarius, sacristan and deacon under the leadership of Abbot Berchtold von Falkenstein (1244-1272) and his immediate successor, Heinrich III von Wartenberg (1272-1274) until the death of the latter.Georg von Wildenstein. In: Helvetia Sacra. III/1/2 (1986), p. 1305-6. He was then elected anti-abbot to Ulrich VII von Güttingen (1272-1277). After Ulrich's death, Rumo was universally accepted. He staged an economic buy-out of the abbey while disputes with abbey subjects in Appenzell and the Klostervogt were exacerbating the state of affairs. As a result, Rumo abdicated his position in 1281 for a yearly compensation of 100 marks. The document detailing the amount and origin of his pension is dated 15 January 1282.{{cite web|title=Urkunde B.4.B.1 des Stiftsarchivs St. Gallen|url=http://www.monasterium.net/mom/CH-StiASG/Urkunden/B.4.B.1/charter?_lang=deu|accessdate=2019-12-27}} It is the first reference in a document of cheese from the region of Appenzell, as the abbot was to be given 60 cheese loaves a year from the village of Gais, each roughly worth eight denarii.Vogler, Werner: 15.
