Life

Dietrich von Plettenberg came from the Westphalian noble family von Plettenberg , whose name goes back to the ancestral home at the foot of the Plattberg near the town of Plettenberg. Numerous well-known personalities have emerged from it. He was the son of Dietrich von Plettenberg zu Nehlen and his wife Katharina de Wendt zu Wiedenbrück. After four years of study at the Collegium Germanicum in Rome , Pope Sixtus V transferred the Münster cathedral prayer on February 10, 1586 , which had become free due to the resignation of the Archbishop of Mainz, Wolfgang von Mainz . Emancipation followed in 1589. After his ordination as subdeacon on March 11, 1595, Elector Ernst of Bavaria presented him as Vice-Dominus . He took up this position on March 15, but reserved the right to waive it. The cathedral chapter had reservations about this suggestion. On October 23, 1597 he received the Archdeaconate Haltern . The election to Paderborn Domkantor fell on December 16, 1600. On May 2, 1609 after the death of Dietrich opted canon Bernhard von Westerholt , the obedience Bright . On July 31, 1609, he was elected cathedral waiter. After a period of reflection, he initially accepted this office for a period of one year. On January 11, 1619, after the death of Canon Georg Nagel , he opted for the archdeaconate of Warendorf. In 1620 Dietrich was appointed to the Princely Council.
