Friedrich von Boizenburg

Friedrich von Boizenburg († January 9, 1312 ) was Bishop of Verden from 1300 until his death .

Life

Friedrich came from a noble family from Mecklenburg. Earlier assumptions that he belongs to the von Honstedt family and that he is the archdeacon of the same name from Modestorf have now been discarded. Nothing is known about his life before he was elected bishop, presumably Friedrich was canon in Verden.

When the Lüneburg Duke Otto the Strict acquired the counties of Dannenberg and Wölpe , Friedrich was able to assert feudal sovereignty . In the area around Soltau , the village was successfully acquired by the Quedlinburg monastery , the Soltau bailiwick rights and church patronage .

Friedrich supported the Bremen Archbishop Jens Grand in his feud with the Bremen promoter Vogt Heinrich von Borch . The financial burdens resulting from this and from other feuds led to numerous pledges . After his death in 1312, Friedrich was buried in Verden Cathedral.
