Kadeloh , also Kadalho, Kadalhous, Kadelho, Kadelhous, Kadelohus, Kadelous, Cadeloch, Kadlohus or Cathelo († 1045 in Italy, probably in Rome ) was bishop of Naumburg from 1030 to 1045 .

Life

The documents available do not reveal anything about Kadeloh's origin. Possibly his name suggests a Bavarian or Lombard descent. He received his ordination as Bishop of Naumburg from the Archbishop of Magdeburg, Humfried, and, like his predecessor Hildeward von Gleißberg, continued the expansion of the diocese with the Margraves of Meissen .

In 1030 he acquired the beech forest near Naumburg, 1032 the royal court Balgstädt an der Unstrut, 1040 Kosen southwest of Naumburg, Beuditz, Punkewitz, Graitschen, Großgestewitz and Krössuln in the Gaue Wethau and Teuchern. In 1043, on June 27th, the king transferred the Volkmannrode court near Mansfeld and the town of Roitzsch near Bitterfeld and Kadeloh to the Naumburg Church, who also seems to have started the first construction work on what would later become the Naumburg Cathedral , which was consecrated before 1044.

Because Kadeloh merchants from Kleinjena , probably in 1033, settled in Naumburg, he can be regarded as the founding father of the city of Naumburg. Conrad II took advantage of his diligence in accomplishing his tasks and appointed him Chancellor of Italy on March 31, 1037. So he is there in Canicole, Po, Ravenna, Imola, Piacenza, Milan, Lake Garda, Verona, Aquileja Treviso, Nonantula, Pistoja, Vivinaja near Lucca, Arezzo, Perugia, Spello near Foligno, Benevent, Capua, Perano near Chieti, Viadana detectable on the Po, Florence and Brixen.

After he last worked for Konrad II in Nijmegen in 1039, he returned to his diocese. Now he represented Heinrich III again as Chancellor . the interests of the diocese in Regensburg, Augsburg, Goslar and Hersfeld at the consecration of there in 1040 restored church . Also in Aachen and Regensburg in 1041, in St. Maurice and Kaufungen in 1042 and in Ingelheim in 1043, he was entrusted with a posting to Italy in 1044, where he might die in Rome between January 6 and February 22, 1045.
