Friedrich I of Hohenlohe
Friedrich I von Hohenlohe († December 21, 1352 ) was Prince-Bishop of the Bamberg Monastery from 1344 until his death in 1352 .
Friedrich I. von Hohenlohe in the family context
Friedrich I von Hohenlohe came from the original Franconian family of the House of Hohenlohe (see also list of noble families in Franconia ). The widely ramified family with counts and princely lines probably had their ancestral seat at Hohlach Castle near Uffenheim , today a town in the Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district in Central Franconia . With his brother Albrecht II von Hohenlohe, the family provided the bishop of Würzburg (1350-1372) almost at the same time . Gottfried III. von Hohenlohe (tenure from 1314 to 1322) was one of his predecessors on the Würzburg bishopric. His parents were Albrecht von Hohenlohe, Herr auf Uffenheim and Adelheid von Berg-Schelklingen.
Biographical data
At the time of the appointment of Friedrich I. von Hohenlohe as Prince-Bishop, Clemens VI was. Pope and Ludwig IV Emperor. Frederick immediately supported the opposing king Charles IV , who prevailed against Ludwig. Emperor Karl rewarded Friedrich's support with an extension of the bishopric to the south and east.
Under Frederick I, 1,348 Jews were persecuted and expelled. They were mainly blamed for the outbreak of the plague . The bishop took advantage of these events by taking possession of the displaced Jews in his territory. At the place of the synagogue there is now a Lady Chapel . In 1365, the expelled Jews again had the opportunity to settle in what is now Hellerstrasse (see also synagogues in Bamberg ).
In the places Hohenpölz , Reckendorf and for Burg Gaillreuth , the time of the bishop is decisive for the first documentary mentions. The diocese gained new ownership from the estate of the extinct family of the Schlüsselbergs after Konrad II von Schlüsselberg was defeated in the battle with the neighboring territories.
coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Hohenloher family shows two black leopards standing on top of one another, striding to the right with downcast tails; on the helmet with red and silver covers, originally with two silver buffalo horns, each equipped with 5 golden linden branches on the outside, later a silver phoenix with red flight feathers on the wings. Usually the coat of arms of the prince-bishops take up the family coat of arms as an element of a multiple coat of arms.
Epitaph in Bamberg Cathedral
The epitaph of Friedrich in Bamberg Cathedral is remarkable because it does not represent the bishop in an idealized way, but as an old man at the age at which he died. This grave slab became the model for a similar representation of Bishop Friedrich II of Truhendingen .
