Anna von Schlüsselberg
Anna von Schlüsselberg († 1379 ) was abbess of the Schlüsselau monastery from 1339 to 1379 , which was donated by her ancestors from the noble house of Schlüsselberg in 1280.
origin
Anna was descended directly from Eberhard IV von Schlüsselberg († 1283), who founded the Schlüsselau Monastery in 1280 together with his sons Konrad I and Gottfried and who appointed his daughter Gisela von Schlüsselberg († 1308) as the first abbess. Konrad I was Anna's grandfather and his son Konrad II von Schlüsselberg was probably her father. According to the partly refuted family tables of Paul Österreicher, she would have been a sister of Conrad II. But one sees Lukardis von Hohenzollern-Nürnberg , who was also recorded by Austrians (1821) as Anna's mother, no longer as the wife of Conrad I, but as Conrad II's first wife. Anna's maternal grandparents were therefore Count Konrad IV , the Pious , von Abenberg († 1314) and Agnes († 1342), daughter of Count Albrecht I von Hohenlohe - Speckfeld .
Live and act
After Konrad II von Schlüsselberg, the last male Schluesselberg, fell in the fight against the Burgrave of Nuremberg and the bishops of Bamberg and Würzburg in 1347, his daughter Anna, abbess of Schlüsselau since 1339, helped the monastery to acquire further property in the course of the Schlüsselberg inheritance dispute and had the necessary means to complete the monastery church donated by her great uncle Gottfried von Schlüsselberg . Since the monastery bailiwick had also become vacant due to her father's death, the monastery needed a new patron. In 1356 Anna managed to obtain an imperial letter of protection. Emperor Charles IV also confirmed the rights of the monastery, which had its own high judiciary.
Anna von Schlüsselberg is considered to be the most important abbess of the monastery, as she has given it a solid economic basis and lasting legal security. The isolated and comparatively modest monastery survived the founding family and was spared further complications up to the peasant war.
Anna von Schluesselberg probably died in 1379 in the monastery in Schlüsselau. Her predecessors as abbess were Gisela von Schlüsselberg (until 1308) and Elisabeth von Eckersdorf (until 1339). Her successor was Anna von Zollern.
