Baldwin (Salzburg)
Baldwin , also Balduin (* around 1000; † April 8, 1060 in Salzburg) was Archbishop of Salzburg from 1041 until his death in 1060 .
Life
In contrast to most of his predecessors, Baldwin does not come from Bavaria, but from a noble family from the Lower Rhine or Flanders and previously had no personal relationship with Salzburg. Baldwin was ordained bishop on October 25, 1041. Baldwin was particularly careful to preserve the episcopal property and, like many of his predecessors, had a "codex traditionum" created on the donations made during his reign, which has been preserved.
The most important event of his reign was the gift of Count Wilhelm's widow named Hemma , who, at Baldwin's suggestion, had the Marienkirche in Gurk built and founded a nunnery there. She bequeathed her property in the Ennstal to the diocese on the condition that a Benedictine monastery be built in Admont . Baldwin died on April 8, 1060.
