Adalram's involvement in Muspilli

Adalram († January 4 (?) 836 in Salzburg ) was the sixth successor to Rupert and second Archbishop of Salzburg in the 9th century and abbot of the St. Peter monastery .

Life

Adalram was an archdeacon before his election as Archbishop. After his election as archbishop he went to Rome with a letter of recommendation from Emperor Ludwig , where he was awarded the pallium on November 13, 824 . On October 23, 821, Adalram rededicated the restored Maximilian cell in Bischofshofen , which had been destroyed again in 820 by “godless Slavs” (who presumably lived in Pongau) since the middle of the 8th century. Adalram was particularly keen on the mission. It is known that Adalram often preached in the national language or the vernacular in order to convert the "barbarians" (essentially the Slavs ). Adalram himself consecrated the church in Ipusa (today Winklarn near Amstetten). In Traismauer , too , where the royal court there was a fiefdom of Salzburg, there was an archbishop's church at that time. Adalram was on good terms with Prince Privina , although he did not yet admit to Christianity. Under him the first church in today's Slovakia was consecrated in Neutra in 828.

In Carantania he appointed Otto (as the successor to Theodoric) as choir bishop . King Ludwig had previously expressly designated the area east and south of the Raab as belonging to the mission area of ​​Salzburg.
