Huso (Ministeriale)

Huso (Huozo) (* end of the 10th century ; † mid- 11th century ) was a ministerial and builder of the chapel of St. Nicholas in Klotten .

Life

Huso is probably identical with Huozo, Wolfhard's brother from the retinue of the Polish queen Richeza , who is mentioned in a document dated September 7, 1054. In the Hofgut Klotten, which was transferred to the Mariengradenstift in Cologne when Richeza was buried, a complex built around 1040 consisting of a residential building and tower as well as a chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas is mentioned. According to a chronicle from the first quarter of the 16th century, the property, which was transferred to the Brauweiler Abbey either in 1063 after Richeza's death, as the local researcher Alfons Friderichs suspected, or only in 1090 when the property was returned to the Brauweiler Abbey Attributed to Richeza Abbey, however, doubts about the accuracy of the tradition have recently become known. The Hofgut, which was connected to a residential building by a walkway next to the mentioned, probably rectangular chapel, also had a Nikolausbrunnen, which in the meantime was built over by a house. The chapel, which was expanded in the 16th century, then served as a syringe house from 1802 and as a school again from 1874, had to be demolished in 1951 due to damage caused by the war.

Lintel of the chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas in Klotten

The only thing that could be preserved from the chapel is a gable lintel, which is now in a wall in the hall of the parish hall of Klotten. Due to the fact that the following text can be read in Latin script on the gable lintel made of gray sandstone in a red tint, it is now assumed that Huso and not Richeza was the builder of the chapel.

"PORTA PA [T] ET, QUI DIGN [E] POPOSCERIT INTRET. HIC DOMINUS EXAUDIT VINCTOS. HIC [ABSOLVIT, NEC FACIT MORI QUI VINCULA] MOVERIT SED VIVERE TANTUM " , which freely translated from W. Hilgenberg from Rheine means:

“This hall dedicated to Christ was built by Huso. The door is open; whoever has right wishes enter. Here the Lord hears him, here he frees those who are bound (of sin) and makes that he who throws the chains (of sin) from himself does not die but lives forever ” .

The connection between Huso and Richeza is not clearly established. There was a Nikolaus patronage for the chapel, which suggests that it belonged to the Ezzonin Richeza, and it is also assumed that this was a planned expansion of their courtyard in Klotten. Since Richeza was mainly busy building the Brauweiler Abbey since 1047, it is assumed that Huso Ministeriale was at her court or her governor in Klotten. In the document of 1054 u. a. Huozo, together with other ministers from Richeza, was confirmed to have donated donations to Maria Laach Monastery in several Moselle towns.
