Dietrich (Schwerin)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dietrich († 1247 in Schwerin ) was 1230-1235 canon , 1235-1239 Dompropst to Schwerin, at the same time to 1229 to 1239 Domherr Lübeck and 1236-1239 to Hamburg , then from 1240 to 1247 Bishop of diocese Schwerin .

Life

Dietrich came from a knightly family, but the marriage of his parents was broken for an unknown reason, but this flaw in his birth did not prevent his entry into the clergy.

On November 3, 1239, the cathedral chapter postulated his provost Dietrich as the successor to Bishop Friedrich . He was Magister in 1222, episcopal chaplain to Bishop Brunward , canon since 1230, provost of the cathedral in 1235 and finally at the same time canon of Hamburg . On May 20, 1240, Pope Gregory IX confirmed . the postulation of the Schwerin cathedral chapter and dispenses from the denial of the stigma of his illegitimate birth in order to use him in his dignity. He commissioned the Archbishop of Bremen and the Bishop of Verden to appoint the postulant as bishop.

On July 29, 1240, in the Franciscan Church of the St. Johannis monastery in Stade, the bishop was consecrated by Archbishop Gerhard von Bremen , Bishop Luder von Borch von Verden and Johannes I, Bishop of Lübeck, after Dietrich legitimized, examined and also confirmed on the same day had been. On March 18, 1241 Dietrich in Tribsees was authorized as Bishop of Schwerin to occupy the Sonnenkamp Monastery and the churches of his patronage with vicars after the pastor's death.

The expectations of his voters and the Schwerin chapter, who had asked him unanimously and with high words of praise from the Pope as bishop, largely fulfilled Dietrich despite the shortness of his term of office. In 1247 Bishop Dietrich was appointed curator of the Franciscan rights in his diocese by Pope Innocent IV . But he could not end the existing border disputes with the diocese of Havelberg under its bishop Heinrich I von der Schulenburg. After favorable preliminary decisions by Pope Innocent IV, however, in 1247 he concluded a settlement with Bishop Wilhelm of the Diocese of Cammin about the disputes on the border of their districts.

Bishop Dietrich was no longer able to carry out the plan to set up a collegiate chapter at the St. Elisabeth Church in the monastery town of Bützow , but the foundation had apparently still prepared.

In 1240, the Roman king Konrad , son of Friedrich II , granted Bishop Dietrich the right to fortify the castles and cities in his collegiate land, as well as to strike coins and levy customs duties. King Konrad wanted to strengthen his reputation in Germany through these donations.

Bishop Dietrich was also held in high esteem by the Papal Curia , as can be seen from the transfer of a power of investigation into the dispute between the Archbishop of Bremen and the Hamburg Cathedral Chapter.

Dietrich is said to have died in Schwerin at the end of 1247 and was buried in Bützow. A tombstone has not been preserved.

seal

In the Szczecin archive there is the very damaged parabolic seal of Bishop Dietrich with preserved letters in green wax.

The inscription reads: ... hEOD ... En.

In the seal is a seated bishop with a staff in his left hand and a book in his right.
