Heinrich von Füllstein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich von Füllstein (also Heinrich von Fulstein ; Czech Jindřich z Fulštejna ; Latin Henricus Follinsteinus , also Henricus de Fulsteyn ; † June 7, 1538 ) was auxiliary bishop in Breslau from 1505 and titular bishop of Nikopolis ad Iaterum and from 1506 auxiliary bishop in Olomouc . He was also chaplain at the court of the Opole dukes Johann II and Nicholas II.

Life

Heinrich came from the Westphalian noble family Fulmen . His ancestor Herbord von Fulmen came to Moravia in the wake of the Olomouc bishop Bruno von Schauenburg . For his services in the crusade against the Pruzzen , he was rewarded by Bishop Bruno with the episcopal Gotfriedsdorf estate , which was initially renamed Fulmenstein and later Füllstein . Today the place is called Bohušov .

Heinrich was probably born in Fulmenstein around the middle of the 15th century. In 1479 he and his brothers Georg and Wenzel took over the estates left by their father Wilhelm von Füllstein ( Vilém z Fulštejna ). It is not known when he entered the clergy. For the year 1481 he is recorded as a canon of the Breslau Cathedral and later he was also a canon at the Breslauer Kreuzstift . As dean at the collegiate monastery in Glogau , he was also pastor of Trebnitz , which he exchanged for the Lüben parish around 1500 . In 1505 he was appointed auxiliary bishop in Breslau and titular bishop of Nicopolis. After the death of Bishop Johannes Roth on January 21, 1506, his successor Johannes Thurzo was consecrated bishop on March 22, 1506 by his brother, the Olomouc Bishop Stanislaus Thurzo . Co-consecrators were the former bishop of Großwardein Johann Filipec , who also came from Moravia, and Heinrich von Füllstein. In the same year Heinrich was appointed auxiliary bishop in Olomouc .

Since Heinrich spoke Czech from home and Czech was the official language in the Duchy of Opole , he was appointed court chaplain by Duke Nicholas II, who ruled jointly with his brother Johann II. When Duke Nikolaus II tried to kill the Governor Kasimir von Teschen and the Breslau Bishop Johannes Roth on June 26, 1497 at the Prince's Day in Neisse , he was sentenced to death a day later and executed. His court chaplain Heinrich von Füllstein stood by him during the last hour and, according to Nikolaus, drew up his will, which Heinrich was also given consideration. Through the inheritance he gained a considerable fortune, from which he set up charitable foundations, among other things.

On July 7, 1519, he gave the Marian Brotherhood his approval for the foundation of an altar benefit in the Lüben parish church. He himself was an altarist in Prausnitz and also owned the benefice of the Marien Altar in the parish church in Altenburg near Schweidnitz . This was donated by Wischko von Michelsdorf in 1381 and was under the patronage of the abbess of the Liegnitz Benedictine monastery. On November 17, 1521, he was the main consecrator and ordained bishop Jakob von Salza from Wroclaw . In 1535 he received a benefit at the Michaelis altar in the Breslau cathedral, which was only allowed to be awarded to canons and was connected with the inheritance of Krischanowitz near Trebnitz.

In 1536 Heinrich was sent as a representative of the Breslau cathedral chapter to the wedding of Duke Johann from Münsterberg to Christina von Schidlowitz, who came from Krakow. He was chosen because he also spoke Polish and it was assumed that the bride did not speak German.

Heinrich von Füllstein died on June 7, 1538. His body was buried in the St. Martin Church in Fulmenstein. His tombstone is still there today. On January 14, 1511, he had already donated an anniversarium for himself and his parents.
