Lord of Halberstadt
Herrand (* around 1040; † October 23/24, 1102 in Reinhardsbrunn ) was a Swabian clergyman, Abbot of Ilsenburg and Bishop of Halberstadt . As a bishop he was also called Stephan .
Life
Herrand was probably born in Swabia . He was a Benedictine monk in the Gorze monastery ( Lorraine ) and later came to the Burkardus monastery in Würzburg . Around 1074, as Abbot of Ilsenburg, he was commissioned by Burchard II of Halberstadt to reform the monastery he ran. In 1090 Herrand was elected Bishop of Halberstadt with the support of the Pope , but could not prevail. He received his episcopal ordination in Rome in 1094 and chose the episcopal name Stephan . In 1096 he founded the Ilsenburger Propstei Hillersleben . As a victim of an intrigue among prelates loyal to the emperor, he had to flee in 1100 and first came to Magdeburg before he finally became a monk again in the Reinhardsbrunn monastery , where he also died.
