Tomb slab by Dominus Krafft in the choir of the Trinity Church (Ulm)

Dominus Krafft , also incorrectly Dominicus (* around 1250; † January 6, 1298 (on the day of Epiphany )) was Chancellor of the Roman-German King Rudolf von Habsburg and founder of the preacher's monastery in Ulm.

family

Several forces were Scriba of the Staufer Konrad (1137), Friedrich (1152) as well as Rudolfs I (1286) and Albrechts I of Habsburg (1298). Their opponents, Ulrich I. , Ulrich II. And Eberhard I. von Württemberg destroyed the Scharnhausen Castle in 1250 and the Kerschburg in 1292, so that the Krafft moved to Langenau an der Nau and Ulm, where they had been based since 1227, and called themselves Krafft from Nau (Langenau). Nobilis Kraffto in Nawe , vassal of the abbot of the Reichenau monastery , gave the first divine gift to the Söflingen monastery in 1237 .

Act

From 1271 Dominus Krafft, born around 1250, was Magister civium (Mayor) of Ulm, from 1279 he was a judge and from 1286 royal chancellor and town clerk . In older texts he is referred to as the old scribe (antiquus scriba) .

When the Dominicans ( brother preachers) came to Ulm in 1281 and asked for a place for a monastery, a Mechtildis Hunrärin gave them her garden at the hospital . Dominus Krafft acted as the founder and with his help the friars built the church and the monastery. (The Dominican monastery in Ulm, to which Felix Fabri was sent in 1468 , was closed in 1531. Of this, only the outer walls of the three-bay long choir of the church have been preserved.)

After the death of King Rudolf I in 1291, Dominus Krafft and his brothers Ulrich, Otto (was in Augsburg from 1294; † 1311?), Heinrich, Dietrich and Hermann, as well as Duke Konrad von Teck, were expelled from the city of Ulm. He returned three years later.

Dominus Krafft died at the age of about 48 in early January 1298; his grave slab is preserved. Today it is located in the former Trinity Church , today's House of Encounters in Ulm, where it was built into the northern wall of the choir at an unknown time . Its inscription reads: in Latin “anno domini 1298 in the epiphany obiit dominus Kraffto antiquus Scriba fundator noster”. This grave slab is the oldest surviving monument of the Krafft patrician family and the oldest stone monument in Ulm.

Marriage and children

Dominus Krafft was married to the landlord for the preacher's monastery, Mechthild Hunerer ( Mechtildis Hunrärin ). They had two children:

  • Hermann (* around 1275) and
  • Otto de Semita (* around 1280); later mayor of Augsburg
