Dietrich (Berchtesgaden)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dietrich was an Augustinian canon and from 1174 to 1178 provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery .

According to Koch-Sternfeld, Dietrich is said to have been elected from the ranks of the Berchtesgaden canons as provost.

Thanks to his direct predecessor Heinrich I, he took over a privileged provost's office, which Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa had issued a “freedom letter” in 1156. In this "Golden Bull " the emperor guaranteed the Berchtesgaden monastery monastery his protection, recognized its present and future property and also granted it forest sovereignty .

Provost Dietrich was the first to start trading the salt mined in Berchtesgaden. He also exchanged the two court stamps in Roßbach and Osterndorf for six smaller ones at Eining ( Unen ) and Rottal with the Reichersberg Monastery .
