from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich von Wacholz († late 1317 ; also Wacholt or Wachholz ) was a Roman Catholic clergyman from Pomerania . At the beginning of the 14th century he led the diocese of Cammin as bishop .

Life

Heinrich von Wacholz came from the Pomeranian aristocratic family Wacholz . At the end of the 13th century he was archdeacon in Demmin .

With the death of Camminer Bishop Peter , a split occurred in the Camminer cathedral chapter . Some of the canons supported Günther von Werle , while the rest elected Heinrich von Wacholz as bishop. Heinrich traveled to Rome and was confirmed there on January 28, 1302 by Pope Boniface VIII .

In the following years 1303 and 1304, Heinrich reorganized the administration of his diocese and set up five fixed archdeaconates. On September 18, 1303, in Woldenberg, he signed a contract with the margraves Otto IV , Konrad I , Johann IV and Waldemar , in which he promised them support and help against their enemies. Exceptions were the Margrave Hermann and the Pomeranian dukes, with whom Heinrich was on good terms.

On January 2, 1304, he concluded a peace treaty between Poland and the diocese of Cammin with the Polish negotiator von Schachowitz an der Grabow . With Duke Bogislaw IV. Of Pomerania he entered into an alliance on July 15, 1304 in Belgard . In it he promised loyalty and support and should be able to acquire Gülzow Castle in return .

When Bogislaw IV supported the Polish Duke Władysław I. Ellenlang in the conflict with Brandenburg over Pomeranian , it came in 1306 (according to other sources 1308) to a campaign of the Brandenburg margraves in the country of Cammin . The city of Cammin, which like the land at that time belonged to the Pomeranian Duke, was burned down. The bishop and cathedral chapter were compensated by the margraves in 1309 for the courtyards of the bishop and prelate that were destroyed in the process. Bishop Heinrich considered relocating the bishopric, but allowed the duke to dissuade him from this plan by granting important privileges and possessions.

In 1312 he brokered a comparison between the dukes Otto I of Pomerania-Stettin and Wartislaw IV. Of Pommern-Wolgast, regarding the division of Pomerania in 1295. In 1313 he imposed the interdict against the city of Güstrow , where there had been violence against the provost there, and excommunicated the perpetrators. Later he and Nikolaus II von Werle settled the dispute between the city and the cathedral chapter.

The exact date of Heinrich's death is not known. His last documents are dated to the end of 1317. On December 30, 1317, his successor, Conrad IV, was mentioned in a document as Elekt .
