Anno from Landsberg
Anno von Landsberg , also called Anno von Minden († 1185 ), was Bishop of Minden .
He came from the Landesbergen family . At the turn of the year 1174/1175 he set out on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela . Originally it was assumed that the bishop wanted to evade the army succession for the Italian march of Friedrich Barbarossa (1152–1190) with the trip . On his pilgrimage, however, he concluded numerous prayer fraternities with important monasteries ( Gorze , Cluny , Saint-Gilles , Saint-Martin de Tours and Santiago de Compostela) and was thus able to underpin his religious quest for salvation.
During Anno's term of office, the tribal duchy of Saxony was dissolved in 1180. The ducal power passed to several princes and bishops in the region. The Bishop of Minden also fell to greater secular power in his area for the first time. He was therefore the first of the (later) named prince-bishops rulers of the Minden bishopric .
