Friedrich III. from Ortenburg

This article explains the provost in Bavaria, for the count in Styria († 1418) see Friedrich III. from Ortenburg (Carinthia) .

Friedrich Graf von Ortenburg (also: Ortenberg ; † August 4, 1239 ) was provost of the Reichersberg monastery from 1227 to 1231 and as Friedrich III. from 1231 to 1239 provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery .

Live and act

Before he was elected provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery, he administered the Reichersberg monastery and was considered a "sensible man who was highly respected at the courts". The fact that someone like him wanted to become provost in Berchtesgaden shows the already grown reputation of the monastery monastery.

Since 1231 provost of Berchtesgaden he has benefited from the 1156 "freedom letter" issued by the emperor Friedrich Barbarossa , who granted the Berchtesgaden monastery monastery forest sovereignty, as well as from the unauthorized expansion of this "golden bull" in 1180 by his predecessor, provost Friedrich I, to include freedom from mining on salt and metal. Thanks to the “Magna Charta of the Berchtesgaden Regional Authority”, which has been in effect since 1194, he was also able to exercise not only lower but also higher jurisdiction as sovereign and court ruler . And since 1209 was the Berchtesgaden provosts by Pope Innocent III. the right of free jurisdiction over all lay people within the papal area of immunity has been confirmed. The negotiating skills of his predecessor Friedrich II could not prevent the canons from being allowed to boil wood on both sides of the Berchtesgadener Ache as far as Schellenberg from 1211 , but at least the property rights were preserved insofar as the Salzburg cathedral chapter received two gold pieces a year, the archbishop even had a talent to pay to the Berchtesgaden Abbey.

During Ortenburg's reign there was an embargo in 1235 by the Austrian Duke Friedrich the arguable , who had prevented the export of wine and food to Bavaria and Salzburg . But that did not affect Berchtesgaden very much, as it was supplied with it from other sources. In 1237 he obtained free importation of these goods to Berchtesgaden from the Duke. In 1236 there was also an agreement between the Salzburg Cathedral Chapter and Berchtesgaden regarding the "marriage of their own people", i.e. H. the respective subjects were now allowed to look for spouses within these two territories without further inquiry.

family

Presumably his father was Rapoto II von Ortenburg . According to Koch-Sternfeld, his mother would be his second wife, namely Mechthild von Wittelsbach, daughter of Otto von Wittelsbach . Friedrich Hausmann, on the other hand, contradicts the thesis of a second marriage by Rapoto II. Also a paternity or family relationship between Rapoto II and Friedrich III. could not convince Hausmann. In the event of a possible paternity of Rapotos II, the following family relationships would result from Friedrich III:

Rapoto II was married to Udilhild, daughter of Count Albert von Dillingen . The following children were born from this marriage:

• Rapoto III. († June 4, 1248), Count Palatine of Bavaria, Count of Ortenburg and Kraiburg ∞ Adelheid, Countess of Zollern, daughter of Burgrave Konrad of Zollern
• Elisabeth († December 29, 1274) ∞ Friedrich II., Landgrave of Leuchtenberg (son: Friedrich III. Von Leuchtenberg , Gebhard V.)
• NN daughter of Rapotos, ∞ Ludwig IV., Count of Oettingen
• Friedrich († August 4, 1239) as Friedrich III. from 1231 to 1239 provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery
