Life

Arndes comes from a respected family in Hamburg. He was the son of the dressmaker and councilor Heinrich Arnd († 1467), who had been elected to the council there in 1460. After a solid education in his hometown, Arndes enrolled at the University of Erfurt in the winter semester of 1457 , after which he continued his studies at the University of Perugia and in Italy before 1477 he had obtained a master's degree in philosophy and a doctorate in secular law. After working as a lawyer in Rome for some time, he then pursued the career of a clergyman. On May 19, 1480 he received a pension from a vicariate in Hamburg from Pope Sixtus IV , on February 16, 1482 he received 100 guilders from the Antoniter Goswin von Orsoy in Lichtenburg , became dispenser on September 2, 1482 as a canon of Lübeck, had become canon in Speyer on August 2, 1482 , which office he changed on November 18 to accept a canon position and the deanery of the Hildesheim cathedral chapter , which he also tried to take up on July 31, 1484.

After he had also become provost in Fritzlar in 1484 , which possessions were challenged by Johann Menchin, he rose to the position of monastery dean at Braunschweig Cathedral , and in 1488 was actually dean of the cathedral in Hildesheim and canon in Lübeck. When he was elected bishop on February 27, 1492, and obtained confirmation from Pope Innocent VIII through a messenger , under the condition that Thomas Grote would keep his benefits and pensions for life, he was admitted to the Teutonicorum Hospital in Rome on April 1, 1492 consecrated by three bishops. Like his predecessor, the Pope granted him the lifelong enjoyment of his existing benefice in order to lead the ailing diocese out of its debt trap. When he returned home, he was introduced to his office in Lübeck Cathedral .

As one of his first official acts, he achieved the redemption of the former Lübeck bishopric in Eutin, which the diocese had lost under the government of Albert II. Krummendiek . For this he received 1,000 marks as a gift from the cathedral chapter, the canon Bernhard Wessel had to contribute 2,000 marks from his own funds, since not everything was correct when the account was given, the cathedral chapter lent the bishop 3,000 marks for life and repaid it by his successor, 1,000 marks were given out the sale of various valuables and 1000 marks did Dietrich from his fortune. The creditors accepted these 8,000 marks as an advance payment and on November 29, 1492 the diocese got its old residence back. However, it was no longer in good condition and a city fire had destroyed the collegiate church in Eutin .

But Dietrich soon made efforts to restore the building fabric. For this he issued an indulgence for forty days. However, he behaved cautiously towards the clergy during his tenure. He did not hold any synods, the priests' morals deteriorated and, after several complaints, he first had to restore order. Because the bishops of Lübeck had received the right from Emperor Sigmund to act as commissioners of the emperor in the enfeoffment of the Duchy of Holstein , Dietrich entrusted Duke Friedrich with Holstein on November 21, 1493. In the year after the enfeoffment, the duke called the bishop Arnd to Callingburg in Bohemia, the latter did not return to Lübeck from there without danger. Cardinal Raimund Peraudi appears in Lübeck in 1503 , Arndes leads the procession with the Holy Sacrament and is sent by the cardinal to Mainz to settle the dispute between the Count Palatine and the Landgrave of Hesse.

Arndes is also supposed to settle the dispute between Danish king Johann I and Duke Friedrich at a negotiation in Kiel with many princes. In 1502 he brought the daughter of King Johann Elisabeth of Denmark, Norway and Sweden to Stendal to marry the Elector of Brandenburg, where "he consumed a lot of money", as he used to do on a pilgrimage with the king to Wilsnack and later to Einsiedeln in Switzerland . On August 31, 1502 he laid the first stone at the St. Anne's Monastery in Lübeck and brought Regulissen , Augustinian choir women from Steterburg Monastery , to Lübeck. Later he became a privy councilor of the Danish King Johann I. He dismantled the mountain of debts of the diocese and expanded its possessions by acquiring the place Rolfsdorf and a mill in Pansdorf.
