Arnold I. (Trier)
Arnold I. (* around 1120 ; † May 25, 1183 in Trier ) was Archbishop of Trier from 1169 to 1183 .
Its origin is unknown. The view that he is descended from the Walecourt family is now rejected. A document in which Archbishop Arnold and Arnulf von Walcourt are named together was previously misinterpreted. In the document, Arnulf is assigned to the feudal court of the Archbishop of Trier. Older research interpreted this as blood related. He was related to various famous people of his time (e.g. Hildegard von Bingen ). He was provost of St. Andreas in Cologne , later at the Aachen Marienstift . In 1179 he took part in the 3rd Lateran Council and stayed in Italy before that . He went in and out of the imperial court until shortly before his death. His election as archbishop was under the influence of Emperor Friedrich I. Arnold was considered a kind and generous person. Before 1182, Arnulf von Walcourt had rebuilt Montclair Castle with the permission of Arnold . The Archbishop of Trier claimed the right to open the castle, and it was also a Trier fief. He was particularly interested in the Trier area and the Himmerod monastery .
