Bernhard von Büderich

Bernhard von Büderich or Bernhard Derike or Bernhard Dyrken (* around 1405 in Büderich ; † September 23, 1457 in Hildesheim ) was a German friar and the first rector of the Hildesheim branch of the brothers from living together .

Life

He became a student and confidante of Heinrich von Ahaus in the Brothers' House in Münster . He sent him to Rome in 1437 to negotiate with the Curia about granting privileges for the Brethren movement . He turned down the bishop's hat offered . On April 18, 1439 he received the " Bulla Eugeniana" from Eugene IV , which the brothers' houses in Cologne , Münster and Wesel confirmed and converted into collegiate pens with provosts . At the decision of the colloquium in Münster, Bernhard von Büderich was sent to Hildesheim in 1440 with some brothers from the Münsteraner , Cologne and Herford Fraterhaus to establish a new branch, for which Gottfried Borninck had obtained an episcopal privilege in 1439 . There they found a place for their brothers' house in the Lüchtenhof in 1443 . In 1451 the papal cardinal legate Nikolaus von Kues visited the Hildesheim branch. In 1455 Bernhard von Büderich sent brothers to Kassel in order to found a similar community in the Weißenhof.

Peter Dieburg , who has been a member of the Hildesheim Brothers House for over 50 years, praises Bernhard von Büderich in his biography as a fiery preacher and loyal scholar pastor . Both represented the Hildesheim direction of the Brethren movement, which rejected an increasingly monastic , unworldly development of the convents.
