Heinrich von Twiel
Heinrich von Twiel († after 1133) was the abbot of the St. Gallen monastery from 1121 to 1122 .
Act
The imperial party of the St. Gallen Convention appointed Heinrich von Twiel as their abbot in 1121. The opposing party, however, declared the election to be invalid. It was argued that Abbot Ulrich von Eppenstein's letter of abdication , which had made the new election necessary, was forged. Manegold was ported by Mammern as counter-abbot . In 1121 Konrad von Zähringen used Manegold by force in St. Gallen, Heinrich fled to Zell Castle near Leutkirch in Swabia. Manegold von Mammern was able to convince Emperor Heinrich V that he alone had been legitimately elected Abbot of St. Gallen. After the imperial confirmation of Manegold, Heinrich von Twiel retired to the Zwiefalten monastery . When Abbot Manegold died in 1133, he returned to St. Gallen as provost at the behest of Werinher .
