 It was only when the Abbot himself could not move Hildegard that he decided to grant the nuns their own monastery.Hildegard and about twenty nuns thus moved to the St. Rupertsberg monastery in 1150, where Volmar served as provost, as well as Hildegard's confessor and scribe.In 1165 Hildegard founded a second monastery for her nuns at Eibingen.
