Henry III. (Berchtesgaden)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich († 1257 ) was an Augustinian canon and as Heinrich III. from 1252 to 1257 provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery .

According to Brugger, Heinrich had only been provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery since 1253, according to Feulner, A. Helm and Koch-Sternfeld. And while Brugger assumes that Heinrich had "decided to resign" after five years in 1257 because of the difficult times - including a devastating starvation winter - he died this year, according to Koch-Sternfeld. At a time when all churches were closed as a result of a papal interdict. All sources are, however, agreed that Henry the first infulierte was provost, d. H. Pope Alexander IV not only confirmed the privileges of the Berchtesgadener Land, but also granted Heinrich and all subsequent provosts to wear the insignia miter , ring and sandals "for all time" in 1255 , which almost put them on an equal footing with the bishops.

Heinrich had previously benefited from the “Freedom Letter” issued by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa in 1156 , 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 the freedom to mine 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 predecessors such as Friedrich II could not prevent the canons from being allowed to boil wood on both sides of the Berchtesgadener Ache as far as Schellenberg from 1211 , but at least the property rights were preserved insofar as the Salzburg cathedral chapter annually received two gold pieces Archbishop himself had a talent to pay to the Berchtesgaden Abbey.
