Life

Heinrich I came from a Swabian noble family . The eponymous Zipplingen is now part of the community of Unterschneidheim in the Ostalb district of Baden-Württemberg . Heinrich I von Zipplingen first appeared as a canon from Augsburg and Eichstätt, and in 1221 he was the cathedral scholaster of Eichstätt. His appointment as bishop could have been due to an appointment by the Pope, this thesis is supported by the debts of the diocese, which Henry I as bishop was able to pay off to a large extent. The bishop is documented several times on his travels, he was often in the king's entourage. Special occasions in which he participated included a. the wedding of Heinrich VII. with Margarete von Babenberg .
