Adalram from Waldeck
Adalram von Waldeck (* around 1100 ; † December 26, 1182 ), also Adalram von Feistritz , was a highly free nobleman . He was the grandson of Aribo II and founder of the Seckau Abbey .
Life
Adalram von Waldeck was a son of Hartnid von der Traisen, thus brother of Walter, Ernst and Hartwick. He was initially married to Perchta from the Offenberg family. His second wife was Richinza von Perg (∞ around 1130). Their father, Rudolf von Perg, was the secular governor of the Augustinian canons of St. Florian in Upper Austria . The daughter of the two, Benedikta, entered St. Erentraud on the Nonnberg in Salzburg as a nun .
On January 10, 1140, Adalram von Waldeck in Friesach - before the Archbishop of Salzburg Konrad I von Abensberg - in the presence of the bishops Reginbert von Brixen and Roman I von Gurk as well as many noble witnesses (including Udalrich von Graz ) established his foundation and established in Sankt Marein bei Knittelfeld the Seckau Abbey and transferred it to the Church of Salzburg .
The reason for the foundation was probably an offense ( delicta ) of Adalram, namely the manslaughter of his cousin Adalbero von Feistritz († around 1138) in the course of an argument over adultery with his wife Richinza ( from eo peccatis exigentibus dimissa ).
This foundation in St. Marein-Feistritz only existed for three years, because in 1142 the monastery was relocated to a more suitable location, today's Seckau . The founding family, Adalram von Waldeck and Richinza, subsequently entered the double monastery in Seckau themselves. Adalram von Waldeck's date of entry into the Canons' Monastery is known as 25 February 1147. The living Adalram von Waldeck was last mentioned in a document on November 29, 1182 in the Traungau deed of Duke Otakar IV.
