Seal Friedrich II von Haseldorf as Bishop of Dorpat 1278

Friedrich von Haseldorf , also called Haselthorp (* around 1220 ; † December 4, 1285 or 1289 ) was bishop of Karelia and Dorpat from 1285 to 1289 .

Life

The son of Theodor (Dietrich) von Haseldorf from Haseldorf an der Elbe in Holstein, whose father Adico (also Odico ) was one of the founders of the St. Marien monastery near Stade , and of Abbot Wibald von Corvey often because of the alienation of church property of the Kemnade monastery was prosecuted.

His relative, Friedrich the Elder (1146–1272) was Ministeriale of the Archbishopric of Bremen to which the seven North Elbe communities of the Haseldorfer Marsch belonged. Theodor (also Dietrich I), one of the founders of the Heeslingen canonical monastery , was killed in a crusade against the Lithuanians in the battle of Schaulen in Semgallen on September 22nd, 1236. However, he was not a “noble”, as the Livonian rhyming chronicle called him. But the ministerials of Bremen were often among the nobles in the east even before members of the royal family.

Friedrich's mother was Helena, and she died on August 12th. Friedrich himself was a knight and married to a woman named Jutta and had two daughters, Adelheid and Gertrud. Adelheid married Heinrich III. from Barmstede .

In 1255 Friedrich, who was the last of the male line of his sex, entered the clergy and in 1258 became canon at the Hamburg cathedral chapter , after he made a rich donation to the monasteries Himmelpforten and St. Marien bei Stade. His Bremen ministerial goods went with Gertrud to Otto von Barmstede , who renounced nobility in return.

When Pope Alexander IV asked Archbishop Albert von Buxhovede in 1255 to establish a diocese of Karelia on a territory that was to be taken from the Novgorod Russians, he chose his relative Friedrich, who is only verifiable as a bishop in 1268, and his Bishopric itself could not claim.

But after Bishop Alexander von Dorpat was killed in the battle of Wesenberg against the Russians on February 18, 1268 , Friedrich was postulated as Prince-Bishop of Dorpat and consecrated in December of that year or January 1269. In the meantime he crossed Germany as a crusade preacher in 1268 and 1269.

In 1268 he was active as auxiliary bishop in Naumburg . Together with Friedrich I. von Torgau and Christian, Bishop of Lithuania, he consecrated the Pforta monastery church and granted an indulgence . As Bishop of Dorpat he documented several times in Pforta in early 1269.

He came to Livonia only in winter , took part in the campaign against the Lithuanians who invaded Oesel and on February 16, 1270 in the ice battle at Karussen , but it seems to have stayed in Livonia only since 1274, in 1280 and 1281 he made the campaigns of the Order of the sword against Shamaites and Semgallians . He tried to divert the trade of German merchants away from Novgorod. Sick in Reval on December 15, 1284, he died on December 4, not before 1285 and not after 1289, because in November 1290 his personal inheritance was already being negotiated.

This was on the way west to Stralsund by ship, confiscated by Prince Wizlaw II of Rügen , but it was claimed by Himmelpforten Monastery and Truchsess Markwart, perhaps the second husband or son of Friedrich's daughter Adelheid.
