Coat of arms of the Principality of Worms

Johannes Dieburger (also Johannes Dieppinger, Dieburg, Diepurger or Dieperger) (* around 1430 , † after 1502 ) was a Cistercian and from 1492 auxiliary bishop of the diocese of Worms and titular bishop of Aprus .

Live and act

He was a Cistercian and professed monk in the Otterberg monastery , where he is recorded as a "transitus" (converted) to the Benedictines .

On September 12, 1492 Johannes Dieburger became auxiliary bishop in the diocese of Worms and titular bishop of Aprus. It seems to the humanist and Bishop of Worms Johann XX. To have been close to von Dalberg , since he became auxiliary bishop under him. He is probably the last Cistercian prior of the Ramsen monastery named by Franz Xaver Remling , who was in office in 1490 when Bishop Johann von Dalberg dissolved this convent in protest of the Cistercians and incorporated it into the episcopal table. Possibly. the appointment as auxiliary bishop was connected with these processes, because it is recorded that the prior cooperated with the episcopal representative, which certainly did not correspond to the instructions of his order.

Johannes Dieburger was also vicar general in spiritual matters and consecrated several (unspecified) chapels in 1496, according to Johann Friedrich Schannat . In 1500, with the consent of the responsible Bishop of Speyer, Ludwig von Helmstatt , he acquired the Schönfeld monastery near Bad Dürkheim , which had been abandoned by the Cölestinians and which included an agricultural property and a salt spring. The Guardian, Count Emich IX. von Leiningen asked him in 1502 "to handle the monastery in spiritual and worldly matters, not to let it fall into the hands of strangers and to arrange for his services to be carried out by one or more priests or religious who were to be appointed there."

This is also its last documentary mention. The date and place of death of the auxiliary bishop are not recorded.
