Heinrich von Pirnbrunn
Heinrich von Pirnbrunn († July 29, 1343 ) was a Salzburg archbishop in the 14th century.
Life
Heinrich von Pirnbrunn was elected as his successor, almost 26 years to the day after his predecessor, at the beginning of April 1338. He was the last representative of the Bavarian nobility that Salzburg received through free choice. Heinrich was a very educated man. Before his election, he was reportedly a scholastic . In his short tenure, Heinrich issued Friesach town charter in 1339 and a mining ordinance for Gastein and Rauris in 1342. A questionable zeal for faith led to the first documented "heretic" cremation in Salzburg in 1340 after a church offense by an obviously deranged cathedral priest. Heinrich died on July 29, 1343. Because of the short term of office, the fees due to the Curia for Salzburg with every change of government were a heavy financial loss.
In his Gastein Mining Regulations, Archbishop Heinrich speaks for the first time in history of the “Land of Salzburg”.
Bishop Heinrich von Pirnbrunn was buried in front of the St. Nicholas altar in Salzburg Cathedral.
