As Heinrich II, Heinrich was provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery from 1217 to 1231 .

Live and act

Before his election as provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery, Heinrich was one of the canons and his cellar master there . As early as 1213 he was appointed to the office of Provost von Hall , after Provost Pabo von St. Zeno and his servant crashed a gorge in Gastein. However, after only four months he resigned and returned to Berchtesgaden, as he had found the St. Zeno monastery "in great disrepair".

Since 1217 provost of Berchtesgaden he has benefited from the 1156 "freedom letter" issued by the emperor Friedrich Barbarossa , who granted the Berchtesgaden monastery monastery forest sovereignty, as well as from the unauthorized expansion of this "golden bull" in 1180 by his predecessor, provost Friedrich I, to include freedom from prospecting on salt and metal. Thanks to the “Magna Charta of the Berchtesgaden Regional Authority”, which has been in effect since 1194, he was also able to exercise not only lower but also higher jurisdiction as sovereign and court ruler . And since 1209 was the Berchtesgaden provosts by Pope Innocent III. the right of free jurisdiction over all lay people within the papal area of immunity has been confirmed. The negotiating skills of his predecessor Frederick II. Although could not prevent the canons from 1211 on both sides of Berchtesgaden Ache to Schellenberg wood for salt boiling were allowed to beat, but after all the property rights were respected by allowing the Salzburg cathedral chapter two gold pieces for this year, the Archbishop even had a talent to pay to the Berchtesgaden Abbey.

During Heinrich's reign, the residents of Berchtesgaden were only allowed to marry “without request” to Nonnberg's and St.Peter's own people, i.e. only to each other. The conflict in Bavaria between Welfen and Hohenstaufen also took place on the property of the monastery. Among other things, the knight Heinrich von Ramsau had caused serious damage to the estates at Weidenbach, and stole horses and other things from Conrad and other nobles of the Freising diocese of Berchtesgadener Höfe. On the other hand, the well-meaning Salzburg Archbishop Eberhard von Regensberg exempted all costs for his residence at Berchtesgadener Hof in Salzburg .
