Lampert from Praunheim-Sachsenhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lampert (Lamprecht) von Praunheim-Sachsenhausen (* around 1380; † June 12, 1449 ) from the family of the lords of Praunheim was abbot of the imperial abbey of St. Maximin in Trier since 1400 .

origin

Lampert belonged to the branch of the Imperial Schools of the von Praunheim-Sachsenhausen family, who had provided a number of Imperial Schools in the Imperial City of Frankfurt am Main since the end of the 12th century , including Lampert's father, Rudolf III. from Praunheim . His mother was Irmel von Erligheim .

cleric

Lampert entered the Benedictine Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier in 1399 . This was conveyed through his uncle, Friedrich I. von Praunheim-Sachsenhausen , who was a leading official in Kurtrier . As early as 1411, after the death of Abbot Rorich von Eppelborn, Lampert was elected as his successor in a controversial manner - as was Heinrich von Sayn and Heinrich Musil. The antipopes of the time, Gregory XII. , Benedict XIII. and John XXIII. each supported one of the three elected and confirmed the election, the latter the Lamperts. He had helped with a substantial gift of money to the papal treasury. A few years later, Lampert also got rid of his opponents in this way: he took over their debts and granted them annuities . So he could remain abbot undisturbed until his death in 1449. He is buried in the church of St. Maximin. Maybe he had an (illegitimate) son, Johannes, who was married to a Trier citizen's daughter.
