Bernhard von Pollheim zu Wartenburg (* 1456 in Upper Austria ; † January 13, 1504 in Vienna ) came from an old Upper Austrian noble family.

Life

Bernhard studied at the University of Padua , obtained the Doctor juris utriusque and was even elected rector of the university in 1478. In the same year he received a canonical in Passau , soon afterwards in Traunkirchen , Stuhlweissenburg and Dömös in the Diocese of Gran. From 1487 to the end of his life he was pastor of Vöcklamarkt . Emperor Friedrich III. and King Maximilian I entrusted him with various political missions. Pope Alexander IV appointed him administrator of Vienna on March 18, 1500 . Right at the beginning of his term of office, a lively pilgrimage to Rome began, which, accompanied by a papal bull, had to assert itself against the plague, pirates and other inconveniences. On this occasion there were indulgences to be obtained in St. Stephen's Cathedral .
