Hartwig (Salzburg)
Hartwig (also Hartwig, Count of Ortenburg ) († December 5, 1023 in Salzburg) was Archbishop of Salzburg from December 8, 991 until his death on December 5, 1023 .
Life
Hartwig came from the local Bavarian nobility. His father was the Carinthian messenger of violence and later the Bavarian Count Palatine Hartwig I , his mother Wichburg was the daughter of Duke Eberhard von Bayern from the Luitpoldinger family . The future Archbishop Hartwig became a subdeacon in Salzburg on December 23, 970, a deacon on September 19, 973 , and was ordained a priest on September 18, 985 . On November 8, 991 he received the episcopal ordination and received from Pope John XV. the pallium .
Like many contemporaries, Hartwig was taken with the idea of the renewal of a Christian Roman-German Empire ( Renovatio imperii ). On behalf of the empire he participated in two synods in Ingelheim (993, 996) and in the coronation of Otto III. in Rome. In addition to Freising , Otto also granted the city of Salzburg the right to hold a daily market with Regensburg coins, with the proceeds going to the archbishopric. This award not only signified a considerable increase in the archbishop's powers, but above all a decisive step towards the further development of the city. Hartwig made ample use of his right for his own benefit.
In 1002, Holy King Heinrich (later Emperor Heinrich II ), who was highly venerated in Salzburg in the Middle Ages, handed over the Lungau to the Archbishop . Heinrich stayed in Salzburg for Christmas 1009 as a guest of the Archbishop. He supported the new building, called Heinrichsbasilika , of the Nonnberg collegiate church , which had previously burned down, with considerable funds. Hartwig also received possessions in the Ennstal with brew pans, brewhouses and all accessories, which, according to the ruler's wishes , should become the property of the St. Peter monastery after Hartwig's death .
