Adelheid von Frontenhausen

Epitaph for Adelheid von Frontenhausen in the monastery church of St. Margareth

Adelheid von Frontenhausen ( see also name variations ; * before 1078; † between 1104/1105 and no later than 1111/1112 was the founder of the Baumburg monastery with her husband Berengar I. von Sulzbach .

Life

Joseph Ernst von Koch-Sternfeld (1778–1866) names Adelheid's father Cuno von Mögling or Kuno von Frontenhausen and Moegling and Irmgard von Rott's mother , which is sometimes still quoted as such, but has been recognized as wrong according to more recent sources - they now list Konrad and Kuno von Lechsgemünd as father and Mathilde von Achalm as mother. ( See also the section: Name variations )

Adelheid's first husband was the heir of the Sieghardinger possessions of Markwart von Marquartstein (see Marquartstein Castle ), who was murdered shortly after the wedding.

Then Adelheid married Ulrich von Passau († February 20 or 24, 1099). This marriage comes from the (hereditary) daughter Uta (* around 1085; † February 9, 1150), who was married to Engelbert II. Von Spanheim († April 13, 1141 in the Seeon Abbey ) and who, thanks to this connection, Uta's paternal legacy of Gütern, among others, near Dillingen as well as in Isengau and in Rottal near Eggenfelden , Weihmörting and Pocking could compete for the Spanheimers .

In her third marriage, Adelheid was married to Berengar I von Sulzbach , to whom she brought “a considerable gain in property and power”. This gain resulted less from “the connection with the family of Adelheid, the Frontenhauseners” - according to the Fundatio Baumburg, Adelheid von Frontenhausen was disinherited by her father even before her first marriage - than thanks to her widow's estate and the inheritance from two previous marriages . Thanks to the legacy of Markwart von Marquartstein, Adelheid and Berengar became the founders of the Baumburg monastery . And last but not least, from his last marriage with the burgrave Ulrich von Passau, Berengar von Sulzbach had ownership rights to Passau. The fact that the Spanheimers and Sulzbachers were related to each other through the marriages concluded “probably at the same time” with the widow and daughter of Ulrich von Passau was probably also an advantage for Berengar. Since there is nothing to be read about Adelheid in the rhyming chronicle of the Kastl monastery , which Berengar had co-founded and which served as the burial place of the Sulzbachers , her marriage to Berengar probably remained childless.

After her death, Adelheid did not want to be buried until the Baumburg monastery was founded, and therefore remained unburied for twelve years, according to the Baumburg Foundation . Stefan Weinfurter names Adelheid's death year 1104/1105. In relation to other known or assumed annual dates of the descendants of Berengar as well as the year of his death, Heinz Dopsch assumes their death before or in the year 1107, while Jürgen Dendorfer only mentions a latest possible date “around 1111/1112”.

Her bones were later moved into the crypt in front of the high altar of the Romanesque basilica or monastery church of St. Margareth , completed in 1156, within the Baumburg monastery . (According to Stefan Weinfurter, Adelheid wanted to found a regular canon monastery "at the already existing church of St. Margaretha in Baumburg, north of the Chiemsee".)

Name variations

The genealogical assignment or origin as well as the spelling of their name is not clear. The links in the information about her are only her three marriages, the associated name changes and her foundation of a monastery.

  • Adelheid von Frontenhausen - chosen as the name for the lemma, because this name was used as a presumed birth name or name of origin (most recently in 2013) in contributions by Jürgen Dendorfer , who has currently presented the most up-to-date scientifically critical account of the Sulzbachers and their genealogy. In the database of monasteries in Bavaria in the House of Bavarian History , she is named as Adelheid von Frontenhausen with the year of death 1105. The German biography of the Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences also lists her as “Adelheid von Frontenhausen (born)” with the addition “mentioned 12th century”. In addition, she is also listed here as "Adelheid von Sulzbach (married)".
  • Adelheid, von Lechsgemünd - Stefan Weinfurter introduced it in 1991 under the name Adelheid (von Lechsgemünd) and gives 1104/1105 as the year of death.
    With the life data "- 1105" and the function as "founder" Adelheid, von Lechsgemünd with "Europ. Stammtaf., NF, XVI, 93A ”listed as a source in the CERL Thesaurus and also in the German Biography , but without reference to an article about or with her.
    According to Wilhelm Störmer , a connection is established between the southern German counts of Lechsgemünd and Frontenhausen: “In the early 12th century the L. [echsmund] won (or inherited) another county or lordship, after whose center they were also named: Frontenhausen in Lower Bavaria. ”Furthermore, Störmer says:“ The first mention of L. refers to the battle of Mellrichstadt ”1078, in which a“ Heinricus de Lechesmundi fell on the side of the king in this battle (in the disputes of the investiture controversy) ". Heinrich's father, who survived him for a long time, was, according to Störmer, "Konrad (= Kuno I.)" - but nothing can be read here about an Adelheid von Lechsgemünd and her father, who is also named Kuno .
    As further variations (also in the spelling of the first name) are listed in the German biography :
    • Adelhaid, Frontenhausen , Countess
    • Adelhaid, from Frontenhausen
    • Adelheid, Marquartstein , Countess
    • Adelheid, Passau , Countess
    • Adelheid, Sulzbach , Countess
    • Adelheid, from Frontenhausen
    • Adelheid, from Marquartstein
    • Adelheid, from Passau
    • Adelheid, from Sulzbach
  • Adelheid von Megling-Frontenhausen - this combination of names cannot currently be proven in any (current) scientific article, only indirectly as unsourced quotations.
