Heinrich (Chiemsee)

Heinrich (OP) († 1262 ) was Bishop of Chiemsee from 1252 to 1262 .

Life

Heinrich was a member of the Dominican order . It is not known to which convent he belonged and there is no information about his origin or year of birth. After the forced resignation of the Chiemsee Bishop Albert in 1244 and the subsequent eight-year vacancy , the Salzburg Elect Philipp von Spanheim appointed Heinrich as his successor in 1252 .

From Heinrich's time in office it is recorded that in 1255 he consecrated a side altar in Raitenhaslach monastery in honor of Saints Andreas and Bartholomäus and in the same year granted the Herrenchiemsee collegiate church an indulgence of 40 days. Together with the Gurk bishop Dietrich von Marburg , he moved the parish festival of the Salzburg St. Peter monastery in 1256 , whereby an indulgence of 60 days was approved at the same time. In 1260 he confirmed the right of patronage to the Rott monastery over the Tyrolean parish Pillersee , which belonged to the diocese of Chiemsee.

In a dispute between the elector Philipp von Spanheim and the Seckau bishop Ulrich , who was postulated as archbishop by part of the Salzburg cathedral chapter , Heinrich was on Ulrich's side. Since Heinrich tried to find a compromise, he was commissioned by Pope Alexander IV in the same year to summon Philip to Rome within two months. At the same time the Pope decreed that changes made by Philip to the church property were to be declared null and void and that the castles occupied by Philip were to be retaken by force. In addition, church censorship should be pronounced over all opponents. Then imposed Heinrich von Mittersill from about Philip and his followers the spell . At the beginning of 1257 an interdict followed over the city of Salzburg and the archbishopric there . In September 1257, Pope Philip declared deposed and at the same time appointed Ulrich Bishop of Seckau as Archbishop of Salzburg.

Heinrich and Ulrich subsequently had to take out extensive loans. After they could not repay them on time, the cardinal deacon Petrus Capocci was to keep them under a spell and suspension on behalf of the Pope until the shield interest was paid .

Bishop Heinrich died before December 13, 1262. His place of burial is not known.
