Heinrich I. (Ösel-Wiek)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich I († between 1260 and 1262 ) was bishop of Ösel and the Wiek in what is now Estonia .

Life

Heinrich was a Dominican monk. He was consecrated on September 10, 1234 by the papal legate Wilhelm of Modena as Bishop of Ösel and the Wiek. The diocese had only been established six years earlier and had been without a bishop for five years. In 1235, Heinrich confirmed the Fief of the Brotherhood of the Sword in the monastery area of ​​the diocese. In 1238 he made agreements with the new Master of the Teutonic Order , who had taken over Livonia. In 1241 he transferred further rights and property to the order. That year there was an uprising against the church by the local population, in which lay people and clergy were killed and the bishop narrowly escaped death.

Heinrich consecrated the church of the Carthusian monastery in Koblenz in August 1241 , during this time also the St. Anne's Chapel in Boppard and probably in that year an altar in the parish church of St. Peter in Sinzig . In 1242 he was back in Livonia. In 1251 he founded the cathedral and the cathedral chapter in the new Pernau . In 1254 Heinrich stayed in Worms and Sens , in 1255 in Wetzlar , in 1256 in Lübeck he issued a certificate for seafarers in his monastery area. In 1259 Heinrich consecrated an altar in Kreuzweingarten near Münstereifel and in 1260 he was at the consecration of the Dominican monastery of St. Pauli in Minden . After that he was no longer mentioned. His successor Hermann was consecrated in August 1262.
