Adalbert von Lutzerath

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adalbert von Lutzerath OSB (* around 1030 in Lutzerath ; † September 1, 1097 in Brauweiler ) was a German abbot in the Brauweiler Abbey .

Life

Abbot Adalbert, who had a reputation for the greatest righteousness and who was said to lead a saintly life, was the 5th abbot in the Brauweiler Abbey from 1093 to 1095. That he had accepted the abbot was, it was said, due to the humility of his heart. He was probably reluctant to submit to the wishes of his confreres and the Cologne shepherd before he was ready to accept the abbot. As early as 1095 he was by the Cologne Archbishop Hermann III. canceled again by Hochstaden without giving precise reasons. It is assumed that he defended himself against the introduction of church innovations, with reference to the "Siegburg habits", in the Brauweiler monastery, but there is no evidence for this. Adalbert made some noteworthy donations to the poor house of the monastery, including a. Vineyards and lands in Reil , as well as rights of use to properties in his place of birth Lutzerath. There is no evidence of his further fate. Since the chronicler, when describing the terms of office of the predecessors and successors of Abbot Adalbert, demonstrably gave inaccurate dates (he probably left the imagination a little too much free), the year of death 1097 is in a certain sense to be regarded as speculative. On the other hand, September 1st is certain as the day of his death, as this information was taken from the Book of the Dead. Likewise, the nickname of Abbot de Luctzenrade , as it is recorded in a chronicle and cannot be found anywhere else, is probably an invention.
