Henry IV Wild
Heinrich IV. Wild († 1454 in Ebrach ) was abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Ebrach from 1437 until his resignation in 1447 .
Life
Heinrich IV. Wild was born in the last quarter of the 14th century or at the beginning of the 15th century. The sources are silent about the exact place of his birth, and the parents of the future abbot and any siblings are not mentioned. Heinrich probably went to school and then took his vows in the Steigerwald monastery in Ebrach. There are no records of Heinrich's early days in the monastery .
Only with his election as abbot, after the resignation of his predecessor Hermann III. von Kottenheim in 1437, Heinrich, now called Heinrich IV., appears again in the sources. He acquired goods for his monasteries in Mainstockheim and Buchbrunn for 6,000 guilders, which later formed the core of the monastery economy. He resigned, already deaf, against the plans of his own convent and died in 1454 on the monastery grounds.
