Gerhard (Berchtesgaden)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerhard was provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery in 1201 .

As an interim regent with less than a year in office, nothing more is known about Gerhard's life and work. According to Brugger, he was not up to the burden of office in the provost office, which, according to Koch-Sternfeld, was marked by "tremendous earthquakes" as in 1183.

As provost, he benefited from the 1156 issued "charter of freedom" of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa , of the Berchtesgaden Klosterstiftskirche the forestry authority granted, as well as the unauthorized expansion of these "Golden Bull" by his predecessor Frederick I to the mining freedom 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. In the year of his reign, the capital Berchtesgaden was raised to a parish.
