Friedrich III. from Aufseß
Friedrich III. von Aufseß († February 26, 1440 ) was Prince-Bishop of Bamberg from 1421 to 1431 .
origin
Friedrich III. von Aufseß came from the Frankish imperial-free noble family von Aufseß (see also list of Frankish knight families ). The eponymous place Aufseß including Unteraufseß Castle and Oberaufseß Castle is today a municipality in the Upper Franconian district of Bayreuth . Among the Bamberg canons there were other family members, centuries later Jobst Bernhard von Aufsees (1671–1738) was outstanding .
Biographical data
At the time of the appointment of Friedrich III. from Aufseß to prince-bishop Martin V was pope and Sigismund was the Roman-German king. Friedrich was first canon of Bamberg. In 1422, Staffelstein received the right from Friedrich to build a city fortification. In 1430 he made Mistendorf a parish near Teuchatz .
The Hussites invaded Franconia in the winter of 1429/30 and advanced down the Main Valley to Bamberg (see also Hussite Wars ). The cathedral chapter fled with the cathedral treasure (today in the Diocesan Museum Bamberg ) to the Giechburg , the bishop himself to Carinthia . The wealthy citizens fled to Forchheim. However, the Hussites did not take Bamberg. When they had conquered Scheßlitz, the craftsmen, day laborers and farmers who remained in Bamberg plundered the town houses, churches and monasteries. Shortly thereafter acted Margrave Frederick of Brandenburg with Andreas Prokop on Castle Zwernitz a ceasefire and Bamberg paid 12,000 guilders ransom to the arson to escape. The Hussites withdrew to Pegnitz via Hollfeld. When the city's bishop and council returned, they judged the leaders of the uprising.
For Friedrich's premature abdication in 1431, among other things, the favor of Bamberg citizens by the later emperor. This is unusual, since the prince-bishops usually remained in office until their death; Friedrich died in 1440. Anton von Rotenhan took over the reign of the prince-bishop . His election took place in Staffelstein because the plague raged in Bamberg at that time .
