Hartwig I of Lierheim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartwig von Lierheim († 24 / 25. January 1184 in Augsburg ) came from the noble family of free Lierheimer that near Möttingen in today's district of Donau-Ries was a resident. On November 1, 1167, he was elected Bishop of Augsburg by the Augsburg Cathedral Chapter . In the dispute between Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa and Pope Alexander III. he stood on the emperor's side. In 1168 he transferred the vacant episcopal fief of the Hochstiftsvogtei to them. The emperor fragmented this fiefdom with the result that a city bailiwick dependent on him and thus the basis for Augsburg's later becoming an imperial city was created. In 1177, Bishop Hartwig I was present at the peace treaty in Venice and participated in the Pope Alexander III. led council. He died in Augsburg in 1184.
