Act

Commissioned as provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery

Hugo was first a member of the Salzburg Cathedral Convent. After the conflicts with Baumburg Monastery, unsure whether they should convert the monastery monastery into an order of monks, Pope Innocent II commissioned Archbishop Konrad of Salzburg to prevent this conversion of the Augustinian Canons of Berchtesgaden . The archbishop then appointed Hugo as one of “his best reformers” as “authoritarian” as Eberwin's successor . Berchtesgaden was thus brought into the circle of the “Salzburg Reform Association”, which resulted in close cooperation with Salzburg and the Archbishop.

Dispute settlement, prayer fraternization and salt trade

Hugo was considered a very active provost of Berchtesgaden. With the help of the archbishop, he was able to settle an old dispute over the estate of the monastery with Wernhard von Julbach.

In addition, under him there was also a particularly “extensive brotherhood in prayer” with the Canon Regular Monastery of St. Zeno in Reichenhall, founded in 1136 (specialis et magna familiaritas) . He sold vineyards on the Danube to St. Zeno Abbey, with the proceeds of which Hugo wanted to buy goods from the crusaders who moved to the " Holy Land " in 1147 .

The value of salt as an important source of income came increasingly to the fore under Hugor. After Provost Eberwin had already made his first acquisitions in the Reichenhall saltworks, Hugo “energetically pursued this policy”.

In 1151, Hugo was elected Provost of Salzburg to the cathedral because of his "ability" and held this office until 1167.

Power status as provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery

In Berchtesgaden, the provosts, who worked from 1101 to 1803, held both spiritual leadership and secular power, which over the centuries was given more and more powers thanks to imperial support. This continuous increase in power already benefited the first pen-style provosts (1101–1380), but experienced an increase with their elevation to imperial prelates (1380–1559) and prince provosts (1559–1803).

When Hugo I. Second Provost of Berchtesgaden monastery congregation was that had counts of Sulzbach as a pin founding to 1180, the bailiffs and continue indirect beneficiaries of their estates in the region. In spiritual things ( Spiritualien ) Hugo was under I. of "metropolitan authority" of the Archdiocese of Salzburg , at the same time the monastery was pin Berchtesgaden also thanks to the efforts of his predecessor Eberwin under the protection of Pope Paschal II. And his successors, which has u. a. also had a positive effect in the decades-long defensive struggle against the demands of the Baumburg monastery . The equipment of its core area corresponded to the extent to that of the state of Berchtesgaden , in which Hugo I exercised the lower jurisdiction .
