Kuno of Minden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kuno († March 7, 1266 ) was bishop of Minden from 1261 until his death on March 7, 1266 .

origin

Kuno's parentage is not established. It is presumed that he was either a Herr von Diepholz or a nobleman from the von Weyhe family, who were wealthy in the Hoya domain near Weyhe . Sometimes Konrad is used instead of Kuno, Cuno or the long form . However, the name Konrad is not used in the Minden bishop's chronicle , so that Bishop Konrad I (1209–1236) in 1293 was followed by Konrad II . If he were a member of the Diepholz family, he would join a number of members of his family who were enthroned on the Minden, Osnabrück and Utrecht bishops (see list of Diepholz family bishops). Sometimes it is even assumed that Kuno's brother was the Minden bishop Wilhelm (bishop from 1236-1242). This would therefore mean that Johann (bishop in Minden from 1242–1253) was Kuno's brother. The brothers' father would then presumably be Gottschalk III. from Diepholz .

Bishop in Minden

Kuno became bishop in Minden in 1261 . In 1261, Kuno Wunstorf granted Minden city ​​rights . Kuno had to give up the claims to Hameln and its monastery acquired under Wedekind I in the Albrecht I (Braunschweig) conflict for the Minden monastery . However, he was able to obtain ecclesiastical sovereignty over Hameln. In Minden he had the Martinikirche rebuilt, which was destroyed after fires. The oldest construction phase of the church today dates from his time.
