Conrad von Rosdorf
Conrad von Rosdorf (* around 1230 at Rosdorf Castle ; † 1295 in Einbeck ) was first a monk, then dean and finally provost of the important monastery of St. Alexandri's Cathedral in Einbeck. His father Conrad (II.) Von Rosdorf acquired together with his brother Ludwig (I) von Rosdorf and his uncle Dethard (I) von Rosdorf in 1252 the village and remaining county of Moringen from the diocese of Paderborn , and in 1263 the castle and burgraviate of Hardegsen .
Life
Conrad von Rosdorf was destined for a spiritual career at an early age. He received his training in Kemnadin ( Münchehofe ) near Gittelde , in Paderborn and Einbeck . In Kemnadin, Conrad's relatives from the Rosdorf side line from Freden to the Harz forest Pandelbeke were wealthy; in Gittelde the Rosdorf side line of Gittelde was wealthy and held the bailiwick and mint. In Paderborn, Conrad's relatives, the Counts of Schwalenberg, were lawyers; his relatives from the Einbeck area, the lords of Odag (es) sen , were Paderborn's marshals. They later only called themselves von Marschall after their function .
Conrad von Rosdorf first appeared in a document when his uncle, Hermann Senior von Hardenberg, together with the blood relatives (cognati mei) Hermann and Conrad von Novali (Roden), as well as Bernhard von Hardenberg, son of Hermann Senior's brother (filius patrui ipsorum ), made a donation. Their consensus was given by blood relatives Gunter von Bovenden, Johannes von Moringen-Rosdorf, Conradus (von Rosdorf) monk and priest.
In 1260 Johann-Hermann and Helmbert (Helmbold) von Harste-Rosdorf (subsidiary line of those from Rosdorf zu Rosdorf) sold 3 Hufen and a farm in Ajeshusen to Kloster Steine. The first witness was Domino Conrado decano, d. H. Conrad von Rosdorf as dean.
In 1263 Conrad von Rosdorf gave a Mansen in Holthusen near Hardegsen as a freshly appointed preposition from St. Alexander in Einbeck , among the witnesses his brother Lodewicus de Rostorp, miles. (Ludwig von Rosdorf, knight).
The noblemen Otto and Burchard von Bovenden, cousins of Conrad, gave Lahde Monastery a house from their property in Lahde in 1266 . The first witness was Conrad von Rosdorf, preposition von Einbeck, his brother Ludwig von Rosdorf, Herr zu Hardegsen, and in third place Otto Graf von Hoya, Canon of Minden , a common relative of those von Bovenden and von Rosdorf.
On March 25, 1276, Counts Hermann, Heinrich, Ludolf, Konrad, Burchard and Hermann von Woldenberg promised their lords (nos Dominos), Provost Conrad von Rosdorf, Ludwig and Hermann von Rosdorf and Otto von Bovenden, half a tenth to Langenholtensen to the Mainz Archbishop to resign.
Conrad Herr von Schöneberg (Conradus dominus de Sconenberg) notarized a pledge of Conrad von Bertolderode and his wife Gisle to Hilwartshausen monastery in 1281. Witnesses were Conrad von Rosdorf, provost von Einbeck (dominus Conradus prepositus in Embike), and Ludwig von Rosdorf (nobiles viri videlicet dominus Ludewicus de Rosdorp).
In 1286 the Wolf von Gudenberg brothers, at the suggestion of their uncles (their mother's brothers) Conrad von Rosdorf, Provost von Einbeck, and Ludwig von Rosdorf, waived their tithe from Havervörde opposite Amelungsborn Monastery (ad iussionem avunculorum domini Conradi prepositi ecclesie Eimbecensis et Ludowici de Rostorp) . From documents in the Westf. UB it emerges that the brothers Arnold and Dietrich Wolf von Gudenberg also have property in Rode = Großenroden near Moringen, the ancestral home of the von Hardenberg and de Novali, from the inheritance of their mother, Walpurgis (I.) von Rosdorf , had.
Johannes von Harste-Rosdorf and (patrueles ipsius) Basilius, Lippold and Gottfried von Harste pledged themselves to their relatives Conrad and Ludwig von Rosdorf, Otto von Bovenden, to protect the rights of the church in Freden in 1289. With this certificate, the place of Reynersen near Einbeck and the Chapel of Freden were transferred to the von Harste-Rosdorf. This document is one of the few surviving documents that confirms and clarifies the family and ownership connection between the von Freden, as a sideline, and the von Rosdorf, as the parent company, the von Harste as a branch of the von Rosdorf family, also through that of key coats of arms of the noble lords of Rosdorf shared with all of the lines listed.
Conrad von Rosdorf (provost) and his brother Ludwig von Rosdorf were witnesses to a purchase contract of their blood relative Johann von Gladebeck-Rosdorf in 1290, as were the two brothers Bernd and Conrad von Rosdorf.
Bishop Otto von Paderborn sued Gottschalk von Plesse in 1292 with Archbishop Gerhard von Mainz, because the Plesser had illegally appropriated Hammenstedt. Archbishop Gerhard had his referees, Hermann von Oesede (Osede) and Ludwig von Rosdorf (Rorstorpe), clarify the matter. The arbitrators should urge Gottschalk von Plesse to surrender the office or to justify himself to the Mainz judges by October 10th. Provost Conrad von Rosdorf zu Einbeck brokered a compromise, which the Archbishop of Mainz accepted, because Conrad's cousin, nobleman Friedrich von Rosdorf, advocated it: The Plessians officially received Hammenstedt as a Paderborn fief. Both sides, the bishop and von Plesse, who were related by marriage to von Rosdorf, could live with this solution. This process shows that Conrad von Rosdorf, like his brother Ludwig, his uncle Ludwig I. von Rosdorf and his cousin nobleman Friedrich von Rosdorf-Hardenberg, were diplomats for the sovereigns of the time and demonstrated negotiating skills.
Conrad von Rosdorf died in Einbeck in 1295 and, like his deceased ancestor, the former Archbishop Heinrich I of Mainz , was buried in the crypt of St. Alexander.
