Johannes Walling

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Walling , also Johann , Wallingk (* 1390 in Borken ; † December 27, 1458 in Lübeck ) was a German Roman Catholic clergyman at the Roman Curia and provost in Lübeck.

Life

Johannes Walling was a son of Heinemann Peters called Walling. He had received the Lepping zu Hoxfeld estate from the Count of Kleve as a fief . Heinemann pledged this in turn and used the money to finance his son Johannes, a cleric of the diocese of Münster , to study in Florence and Rome . In 1407 Johannes Walling first appeared in Roman sources as a young cleric at the curia of Pope Gregory XII. on. He specialized in canon law . In Rome he became a notary at the Rota Romana in 1419 , a licentiate in 1422 and a doctorate decretalium in 1424 . He was then from 1427 judge, auditor causarum , at the Rota Romana, later papal house chaplain of Eugen IV.

As early as 1410 or 1417 at the latest he had received the parish church of St. Remigius in his home town of Borken as his first benefice . At Walling's request, Pope Eugene IV elevated her to a collegiate foundation on April 16, 1433 . Dietrich Franzois, cathedral dean of Münster and archdeacon of Borken, issued a certificate on October 27, 1433 in which Walling was appointed the first dean of the new monastery. John Walling donated from his family fortune a stipend . Ten canonicals were finally created through further foundations.

With the help of his Roman connections, Walling achieved a remarkable accumulation of benefices in the course of his career. He was pastor, then dean von Borken, pastor von Kampen in the diocese of Utrecht , owner of canonicals at St. Kunibert (Cologne) and in Soest , since 1425 dean at the collegiate monastery of Alter Dom (Münster) and was appointed in 1433 on a commission from Pope Eugene IV Provost of St. Mauritz in Munster. The cathedral chapter of Munster objected to this, because it felt ignored and Walling, as a non-nobleman, was not in a position to function as liege lord.

In 1436 he received, again on papal commission, the dignity of cathedral provost in Lübeck as the successor to Berthold Rike , who was kidnapped by Mecklenburg troops and died in Mecklenburg captivity. He gave up some of his benefices and from then on resided in Lübeck. In the Lübeck bishop's election in 1449, in which he participated as the highest-ranking member of the chapter, he was defeated by the Lübeck-based dean Arnold Westphal .

Because of his expertise in canon law, Walling was a sought-after arbitrator and judge. He found his most important and most difficult task in the protracted Lüneburg Prelate War . As papal judge he decided to reinstate the Lüneburg provost Schaper in his office, and in 1453 occupied the Lüneburg council and the bishop of Verden Johannes III. von Asel with the excommunication . The dispute dragged on until after Walling's death and could not be settled until 1462.
