Bistumswappen of Passau.

Gumpold (fl.932) was from 915 to 932 the 15th bishop of Passau.[1][2][3]

He was a relative of the preceding Bishop, Burkhard, Bishop of Passau[4]

Because of the occupation of his bishopric by the Hungarians he was severely hampered in his leadership. Gumpold probably took part in the Synod of Hohenaltheim.
