Adalbero III. from Basel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adalbero III. († October 16, 1137 in Arezzo , Italy, buried in Basel Minster ) was bishop in Basel from 1134 to 1137 .

Life

The history books mention Adalbero III. first in 1130 when he was still a Benedictine monk and prior in today's monastery of St. Blasien in the Black Forest . In 1131 he became abbot of Prüm . At the end of 1133 he was also elected Bishop of Basel and consecrated in 1134. In 1135 he raised the parish church of St. Leonhard in Basel to a regulated canon monastery . The Basel earthquake of 1356 destroyed a large part of the Leonhardkirche and the monastery buildings, and numerous documents were lost.

1136 confirmed Adalbero III. the founding and ownership of the Lützel Abbey in the south of Alsace , right on the border with Switzerland. In the 12th century, several premonstratensic male and female monasteries emerged in Switzerland. Little is known in the diocese of Basel about its role in the introduction of the Premonstratensian Order (Bellelay in the Bernese Jura ). The Premonstratensian Order Bellelay was probably at the instigation of Bishop Adalbero III. founded on the south-western border of the diocese and removed from the property of the Moutier-Grandval Abbey . However, historical documents confirm the actual founding of Bellelay Abbey between the years 1136 and 1142.
