Life

Heinrich von Plettenberg came from the Westphalian noble family von Plettenberg , whose name goes back to the ancestral seat at the foot of the Plattberg near the town of Plettenberg. Numerous well-known personalities have emerged from it. He was the son of the Heidenreich von Plettenberg called von der Molen and his wife Sophia Schade. His brother Gerhard was also a canon. In 1509 Heinrich is mentioned for the first time as the owner of the Great White Office, which consisted of several parishes. It remained in its possession until his death. On August 24, 1518 he was archdeacon of Altlünen. Heinrich was with other canons on Christmas 1532 on the run from the Anabaptists . After Rotger Korff called Schmising had been elected cathedral dean, Heinrich was elected cathedral scholaster; he accepted the election on June 7, 1537. Confirmation by the bishop fell on June 11th. In addition to the provost office in Kaiserswerth, he also owned a cathedral canonical in Paderborn . In 1542 the bishop granted him the use of the Ems fishery for life, which had previously belonged to the Bevergern office and had been exercised by the episcopal fisherman in Greven. Shortly before his death , Heinrich renounced the Archdiaconate Altlünen and the Great White Office in favor of his eponymous nephew Heinrich von Plettenberg .
