Hugo II (Berchtesgaden)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugo († October 21, 1210 ) was an Augustinian canon and as Hugo II from 1201 to 1210 provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery .

Because of his numerous contacts and business connections there, it is assumed that Hugo came from Austria. He also had apparently because of the increasing legal disputes with Salzburg for help from the Duke of Austria Leopold VI. searched, which then gave rise to its “umbrella vogtei ” over the provost's office .

Under Hugo's reign was the Berchtesgaden provost in 1209 by Pope Innocent III. the right of free jurisdiction over all lay people within the papal area of immunity has been confirmed.

As a provost, he also benefited from the “Freedom Letter” issued by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa in 1156 , who granted the Berchtesgaden monastery monastery forest sovereignty, and from the unauthorized expansion of this “Golden Bull” in 1180 by his predecessor, Provost Friedrich I, to include the freedom to mine salt and metal. Thanks to the “Magna Charta of the Berchtesgaden Regional Authority”, which has been in effect since 1194, he was also able to exercise not only lower but also higher jurisdiction as sovereign and court ruler .
