John II Wilcken
Johannes Wilcken , also Johann Willekini (* in the 13th or 14th century; † 1386 ), was a German Roman Catholic clergyman. From 1385 until his death he was John II Bishop of Cammin in Pomerania .
From 1364 to 1378 he was provost of the nunnery in old town Kolberg and then from 1379 to 1385 provost of the nunnery in Köslin . From 1371 he was also canon of the Camminer cathedral monastery .
After the previous bishop of Cammin, Philipp von Rehberg , died, the Cammin cathedral chapter elected Johannes Wilcken as the new bishop of Cammin in 1385. He received confirmation from the Pope.
On the trip to Stettin , where his episcopal ordination was to take place, he died in the Gollnower Heide in early 1386 . According to the tradition in the Luebian Detmar Chronicle , he was poisoned by one of his servants.
After his death, the Camminer cathedral chapter elected Bogislaw VIII , a duke from the Pomeranian Greifenhaus and canon of the Camminer cathedral chapter, as bishop. The Pope appointed Johannes Brunonis , Chancellor of King Wenceslas , as the new bishop, which led to protracted disputes.
