Anselm von Nenningen

Epitaph by Anselm von Nenningen in the Blaubeuren monastery

Anselm von Nenningen (* 1350 ; † January 10, 1428 in Ulm ) was bishop of Augsburg from 1414 to 1423 .

Life

After the death of the previous Bishop of Augsburg , Eberhard II von Kirchberg , Anselm von Nenningen, who was cathedral curator at the time, was elected as his successor by the cathedral chapter on August 23, 1413 . Since von Nenningen was not without controversy in Augsburg, the Free Imperial City refused to recognize him. Nevertheless, von Nenningen moved into the city on November 25, 1413 and was enthroned in the cathedral . In order to consolidate his position, he looked for various allies, but came across both King Sigismund and the antipope John XXIII. on rejection. Instead, the latter appointed Friedrich von Grafeneck as the new bishop. As a result, von Nenningen and his supporters were banished from the city and fled to Zusmarshausen .

On September 17, 1414 the ban of John XXIII was spoken about him. surprisingly repealed, Friedrich von Grafeneck was appointed Bishop of Brandenburg and Anselm von Nenningen the new Bishop of Augsburg - it is assumed that this decision is due to the influence of Duke Friedrich IV of Austria . Von Nenningen was Bishop of Augsburg until 1423 and died on January 10, 1428 in Ulm.
