Duke Carl Alexander of Wrttemberg also known as Brother Odo was ordained a priest in 1926 and in 1930 was sent to the Abbey of St. Martin in Weingarten, formerly known as Altdorf meaning "village/thorp with the parish church".
He entered the novitiate in 1920 as "Brother Odo," taking vows in February 1921. Brother Odo was ordained a priest in 1926. In the summer of 1930, Father Odo was sent to the Abbey of St. Martin, in Weingarten, not far from Castle Altshausen. The town was formerly known as Altdorf and was renamed to Weingarten in 1865. So "Altdorf" does not mean "old village" but "village/thorp with the parish church".
