from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann (es) von Waldstein (also: Johannes VI. Von Waldstein ; also: Johann der Kahle von Waldstein ; Czech: Jan VI. Z Valdštejna also: Jan Holý z Valdštejna ; † October 4, 1311 in Olomouc ) was Bishop of Olomouc .

Life

Johann came from the Bohemian noble family Waldstein . Before February 10, 1303 he was elected Bishop of Olomouc. He did not pursue any political goals and did not introduce any innovations in his bishopric, but was committed to the Dominican monastery in Mährisch Schönberg, founded by the Waldstein family . He arranged for a better endowment of the scholaster , which also improved the lessons at the cathedral school.

With his feudal people he led numerous disputes. In a disagreement between the Premonstratensian in monastery Rosa Coeli and the lord Henry of Liechtenstein to the presentation and occupation rights of the parish church in Mikulov he represented the canonical point of view so negligent that the Mainz Archbishop Peter von Aspelt , whose ecclesiastical province of the diocese of Olomouc was one, had to intervene. He died on October 4, 1311 and was in front of the altar of St. Ludmilla buried.
