Rotger Linden
Rotger Linden (also Rotger under der Linden ; † January 28, 1584 ) was from 1551 to 1584 as Rotger III. Abbot of the county monastery .
Life
If you follow Johann Suibert Seibertz , he was of simple origin and came from the area around the monastery. In his time the disputes over the hereditary bailiwick began on the occasion of the looming death of Jost von Grafschaft and the extinction of the noblemen of Grafschaft . The abbot was courted by Friedrich von Fürstenberg and, after his death, by Caspar von Fürstenberg . Rotger promised to give the Bailiwick as a fief to Caspar von Fürstenberg when Jost von Grafschaft died. There was then a dispute with the heirs of the allodial property of the noble lords of Grafschaft. The conflict was not resolved until Rotger's death.
The monastery was plundered several times during the Truchsessian War . During his time, the parishes belonging to the monastery in Lüdenscheid , Valbert , Herscheid , Hemer and Plettenberg in the county of Mark finally converted to Protestantism. As a result, the monastery lost its income there.
