Friedrich I of Hagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich I. von Hagen (* around 1158 ; † after May 21 , before November 3, 1239 ) was canon and provost in Hildesheim and Verden from 1182–1228 and bishop in the diocese of Schwerin from 1238–1239 .

Life

Friedrich was the youngest son of Count Gunzelin I von Schwerin and had long been a member of the clergy. As early as 1181 he was named as a subdeacon and in 1191 as Canon of Hildesheim. On November 17, 1225 he was notarized as Frethericus prepositus . As provost of Hildesheim and Verden, he was mentioned in a document on September 6, 1231.

Friedrich's elevation to Bishop of Schwerin took place before May 26, 1238. There were difficulties in the election of the bishop, as the German counts of the settlement interfered with armed force because they forced their candidate, Count Friedrich von Schwerin, on the cathedral chapter . This was not only the son of Gunzelin von Hagens, but also brother of the cathedral provost Hermann von Hamburg , the former opponent Bishop Brunward . The receipt of the episcopal ordination is not documented.

Through the mediation of the responsible church authorities in the person of Archbishop Gerhard von Bremen , a settlement with the Schwerin Count Gunzelin III came on May 26, 1238 . on exemption from the court's jurisdiction and on the Schwerin cathedral courts. At that time it was about the recognition of the monastery area and the place of jurisdiction of the clergy with their professor, the disposition of the clergy about their goods and non-interference of the counts in the elections of bishops. Archbishop Gerhard von Bremen also arranged the statutes in the Schwerin cathedral chapter and the two canon prebends newly founded by Bishop Friedrich I. At the end of 1239 even Pope Gregory IX ordered. the Schwerin bishop to reclaim the alienated lands of his district from the bishop of Cammin . Apart from the border regulations with Cammin, no further activities are known from the only five-month term of office of Bishop Friedrich I.

The last documentary mention of Bishop Friedrich I is the news of the renewed confirmation of the Rühn nunnery on May 21, 1239 in Bützow . Because already on November 3rd, 1239, the cathedral chapter of Schwerin postulated his provost Dietrich as the new bishop.

When and where Bishop Friedrich I died and where his grave is, remains unknown.
