Life

Egino von Chur, actually Egino Freiherr von Ehrenfels, came from an aristocratic family from Graubünden with (presumably) ancestral seat at Ehrenfels Castle .

Egino was provost of the cathedral in Chur from 1154 to 1160. In 1160 or 1163 he was appointed bishop of Chur; presumably consecrated in 1167. He was a supporter of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa and spoke out for the anti-popes and against the incumbent, legitimate Pope Alexander III. out. Bishop Egino was removed from office in 1170 and Udalrich III. von Tägerfelden appointed Bishop of Chur.

Emperor Friedrich I elevated him to the rank of ecclesiastical prince by a decree of May 15, 1170 after he had transferred the bailiwick of Chur to the emperor's son, Duke Friedrich of Swabia .

Bishop Egino supported the Benedictine monastery of St. Johann in Müstair , where he lived for a time after 1170.
