Dietrich von Horne
Dietrich von Horne (* in Horneburg (Westendorf); † January 19, 1402 in Osnabrück ) was Bishop of Osnabrück from 1376 to 1402 .
Life
Dietrich was a son of the von Horne family, owners of the important aristocratic seat of Horneburg (later Harenburg) northeast of the Westendorf peasantry , today Bieste, in the northern Osnabrück region. An illegitimate son named Friedrich von Horne is attributed to him.
Dietrich von Horne was elected in 1376 by the cathedral chapter of the Osnabrück diocese in episcopum et pastorem ecclesie Osnaburgensis , i.e. as the new bishop. At the beginning of his term of office, the Osnabrück Monastery was burdened by serious feuds and heavily in debt. Most of the castles of the diocese - with the exception of Quakenbrück - were occupied by Count Otto von Tecklenburg . As a result, there were disputes with Tecklenburg after the Count of Tecklenburg had demanded that the bishop should only exercise his spiritual power, the actual rule should be taken over by the respective Count of Tecklenburg. In the course of the fighting, various areas, u. a. the place Vörden, to be recaptured.
During his term of office there was also a dispute with the Order of St. John Kommende Lage , Rieste, who refused to pay taxes to the diocese. In an attack in 1384, probably on February 18, Bishop Dietrich had the situation in motion destroyed. After a long dispute, he reimbursed the damage, so that the coming could be rebuilt by 1426.
In 1398, the cathedral chapter of the Diocese of Osnabrück decided during the term of office of Bishop Dietrich to only accept either aristocrats or graduates.
In 1400 the diocese was restructured, the office of Cloppenburg went to the diocese of Münster , and the diocesan sovereignty in the Niederstift Münster and in the county of Lingen was confirmed for Osnabrück.
At the end of his term of office, Bishop Dietrich, weakened by age and illness, came to opposition in the leading circles of the diocese, which he could only oppose by electing a coadjutor .
