Sieghard Waller

Sieghard Waller was Imperial Prelate and Provost of the Berchtesgaden Monastery from 1382 to 1384 .

Sieghard Waller was a confidante of Salzburg's Archbishop Pilgrim II of Puchheim , who had provost Ulrich I. Wulp deposed in 1382 by means of an intrigue within the Augustinian Canons ' convent and appointed Waller as the new provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery.

As a creditor, the monastery had driven its debt burden to a “fantastic level” with the Archdiocese of Salzburg, among others . Wulp wanted to reduce costs and enforce stricter compliance with the rules of the order. In addition, the Archbishop of Salzburg had long been interested in the large salt deposits of the monastery, which was directly owned by the empire and competed with his own. But only at the end of the reign of Waller's direct successor Konrad Torer von Törlein would he finally succeed in incorporating the Berchtesgadener Land as its administrator .

Waller's position, however, was not recognized by Wulp, so that there was a "small" two-year schism and armed conflicts in Berchtesgaden. This ended in a compromise in 1384, according to which Ulrich I. Wulp and Sieghard Waller were finally both confirmed as provosts, deposed at the same time and settled with an annual pension of 100 pounds pfennigs.

Document dated October 24, 1384, Perwang im Attergau - "Arbitration ruling by Bishop Berthold von Freising (ze freysingen) between the Duke of Bavaria and the Eb Pilgrim of Salzburg about all errors between them because of the deposed provost Ulrich von Berchtesgaden (Berchtersgaden). emerged from the Wulp family and Sieghard Waller, who was elected provost in his place. Bishop Berthold decided that neither Ulrich nor Sieghard should keep the provost office, but instead appointed a third, Konrad Torer von Torlein, Canon of Salzburg, to be provost, who should also be confirmed by the Eb of Salzburg, as he is legally entitled to. The new provost Torer is to give Waller and Wulp 100 pounds of Viennese pfennigs every year for life. (..) " ; Storage location: Archive: HHStA Vienna, AUR ( http://www.oesta.gv.at ).
