Life

Imer came from the baronial line of the noble family of Ramstein , who were wealthy in the Jura and originally from the Sundgau . His parents were Rudolf von Ramstein, Freiherr von Zwingen and Gilgenberg and Ita von Weissenburg. He is documented as a canon in 1376 and as a cathedral scholaster in Basel in 1380 .

Imer was in March 1383 by Pope Urban VI. confirmed and received the regalia from King Wenceslaus on December 16, 1384 . Imer succeeded in the diocese against the 1381 of Urban VI. Wolfhard von Ehrenfels, who was appointed administrator of the diocese, and Werner Schaler, who belonged to the Avignon obedience , were to claim. Wolfhard waived a financial settlement in 1385 and Werner Schaler withdrew in 1386 after he died with Leopold III. lost his supporter in the battle of Sempach . He finally resigned in 1392. Due to the high debts of the diocese, Imer had to pledge all castles in the Jura and in 1385 grant the city of Basel the mayor's office. In 1391 he ceded the bishopric to Habsburg for seven years . Before the contract came into force, Imer appointed the Strasbourg bishop Friedrich von Blankenheim as coadjutor with the approval of the cathedral chapter .
