Anna von Bolanden (* around 1260; † 1320 in Worms ) was a Palatine noblewoman from the Bolanden ministerial family and a Cistercian in Worms. A codex from the 13th century has been preserved from their possession .

Life

Anna von Bolanden was the daughter of Philip V von Bolanden and his wife Lukardis von Hohenfels . The Hohenfelsers formed their own branch of the Bolanden noble house. The father officiated as mayor of Oppenheim in 1269 . Anna was one of at least four children of the couple. The brother Johann died in 1288 before reaching the age of majority. The sister Lukarde (also Luitgard) married Count Albrecht von Löwenstein-Schenkenberg , after his death Margrave Rudolf IV of Baden . Kunegunde, the other sister, was married to Count Heinrich I von Sponheim and brought the Tannenfels rule (later Kirchheim) into the Sponheim estate as a dowry .

Anna von Bolanden lived as a Cistercian in the Kirschgarten monastery in Worms, where she also died in 1320.

The Speyer bishop Friedrich von Bolanden († 1302) was her uncle (brother of her father), his predecessor Heinrich von Leiningen († 1272) her great-uncle (brother of her grandmother).

Her brother-in-law Albrecht von Löwenstein-Schenkenberg , whose death she also noted in the calendar of her prayer book, is the first-born son of King Rudolf von Habsburg .

Historical meaning

Its importance arises mainly from the legacy of a valuable German-Latin psalter belonging to it , from the second half of the 13th century, which is now located in the Badische Landesbibliothek in Karlsruhe as Codex Lichtenthal 37 . Anna von Bolanden has entered the days of death of her parents and various other relatives in an upstream calendar. Maria von Öttingen , the second wife of her brother-in-law Rudolf IV. Von Baden, was a widow nun in the Lichtenthal monastery , which is why the codex from the Kirschgarten (Worms) monastery probably came there later.

In Codex Lichtenthal 37, the death memories of her following relatives are handwritten - apparently by Anna von Bolanden:

  • Philipp von Bolanden, † January 19, 1276 (father)
  • Lukardis von Hohenfels, † April 26, 1286 (mother)
