Johannes von Weeze , also Johann von Weeze , Johannes von Weza , Johannes Vesalius (Weeze) , Johannes V Edler von Weza or Johann Wees van Zevenaar , also Bishop Johann VI. , (* 1489 ; † June 14, 1548 in Augsburg ) was Imperial Orator, Archbishop of Lund and Prince-Bishop of Constance from 1538 to 1548.

Life

At the time of Emperor Charles V, Johannes von Weeze was considered the most important imperial diplomat of his time. In 1513 he became an imperial orator and later envoy.

Johannes von Weeze was nominated Archbishop of Lund in 1522 and Bishop of Roskilde or Zealand (1530/36) in 1530 . He was also a canon in Aschaffenburg.

In 1537 he became administrator of the Stiftland and followed the last abbot Georg III. Agmann von Waldsassen after. Count Palatine Friedrich II used the effects of the Reformation to expand his influence on the monastery. Johannes von Weeze was largely able to evade the demands, for example he refused to pay Palatinate taxes and did not take part in the state parliaments in Amberg . While he was largely protected as an influential person appointed by the king, his successor and nephew Heinrich Rudolf von Weeze had to bow to the claims of the Palatinate.

At the peace meetings of Oradea in 1538 he was the personal envoy of the emperor Charles V.

Johannes von Weeze was elected Bishop of Constance in 1538 and on January 11, 1540 by Pope Paul III. approved. In the same year, Emperor Karl V nominated him as dean at Lübeck Cathedral . In 1541 he was ordained a priest , in May 1542 he was ordained bishop. In 1537 Andreas Masius became his personal secretary. In 1539 he brokered the "Frankfurt decency". In it, the Protestants are guaranteed their ownership for 15 months with the aim of enabling subsequent religious discussions and achieving a balance. After Abbot Max von Knöringen had ceded his rights to the Bishop of Constance in 1540 , Johannes von Weeze became the first Commendatarabb of Reichenau .

He died unexpectedly on June 14, 1548 at the Reichstag in Augsburg and was buried in the Mittelzell Minster on Reichenau .
