from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following list contains all the abbots of Tennenbach Monastery in chronological order:

  • 1. Hesso , according to the Tennenbacher Nekrologs , first abbot of Tennenbach on January 1st
  • 2. Udalrich (1177–1184), according to the Tennenbacher Nekrologs, second abbot of Tennenbach on January 4th. He was one of the twelve monks who set out from Frienisberg with his predecessor Hesso to found a new Cisterze in Tennenbach . The local historian Ludwig Köllhofer from Emmendingen referred to this in his Tennenbacher Abbot Chronicle in the parish gazette of the Catholic parish of St. Bonifatius in Emmendingen on September 27, 1992.
  • 3. Konrad I. von Zeiningen (1184–1207), according to the Tennenbacher Nekrologs, third abbot of Tennenbach on November 22nd. As a result of internal unrest he had to leave Tennenbach with his monks, did not return from exile in Hausen near Kenzingen for 18 years and headed the monastery for a total of 26 years.
  • 4. Berthold von Urach (approx. 1210–1226), according to the Tennenbacher Nekrologs, fourth abbot of Tennenbach on November 22nd. He was a nephew of Duke Bertold V. von Zähringen and brother of Konrad von Urach .
  • 5. Rudolf I of Zähringen (1226–1256). Rudolfi de Isenburg (Rudolf von Üsenberg , Lord of Kenzingen)
  • 6. Burkard I. von Tusslingen (1256–1260), his portrait with coat of arms is in the Elztalmuseum, Waldkirch.
  • 7. Heinrich von Falkenstein (1260 – approx. 1279)
  • 8. Meinward I. von Stühlingen (1279–1297) from the family of the Lords of Stühlingen, who was abbot at the time and, like his predecessor, a good father of the house, paid off most of the debts his ancestors made in difficult times and left many treasures to shine to manufacture external cult. He received - a sign of special benevolence - from Count Egino III. of Freiburg by a document dated August 10, 1291 for himself and his successors the citizenship in the city of Freiburg with express exemption from all civil burdens and taxes. In return, however, the monastery had created a system of water pipes for the Freiburg residents with numerous lifts. The same thing happened in Villingen .
  • 9. Meinward II. Von Munzingen (1297–1317?), From the noble family of Munzingen, also contributed to the outer splendor of the church by holding the head of St. John of silver and the head of St. Ursula had the jewelery inherited from his parents decorated with precious stones.
  • 10. John I of Todtnau (1317–1336)
  • 11. John II. Zenlin (1336-1353), son of the Freiburg tanner Heinrich Zenlin, was the most important abbot of Tennenbach; He also donated the precious Tennenbacher Güterbuch 1317–41 (today in the General State Archives Karlsruhe ) and a Gothic ciborium , which is now in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg (copper, gold-plated and with wonderful enamel pictures).
  • 12. John III. Lepus (German hare ) (1353-1368) came from Kenzingen . According to other information, Abbot Johannes Lepus is said to have died in the daughter monastery Wonnental in 1377 . This abbot is also put on record in connection with Güntherstaler property.
  • 13. Jacob von Tanner (1368-1396); His portrait with a talking coat of arms is also in the Elztal Museum , Waldkirch.
  • 14. John IV. Mütterler (1396–1421), from Waldkirch . Under Abbot Johannes IV. Mütterler, Otto and Johannes von Hachberg , margraves, are said to have received the monastery bailiwick of Tennenbach from the Roman-German king in 1406 - Abbot Johannes was buried in the chapter house of Tennenbach.
  • 15. Rudolf Zoller (1421–1438) from Elzach
  • 16. Martin Soensbach (1438–1448), man of great learning; during his tenure he took part in the Council of Basel . There he received inful and staff ( pontificals ) for himself and his abbey . Since then, the abbots of Tennenbach wore these decorations. During his tenure, the monastery was so badly damaged by attacks by the Armagnaks that it took a long time to make the buildings habitable again. After the battle of St. Jakob an der Birs, the Armagnaks swarmed against the Confederates through the Breisgau and devastated town and country.
  • 17. Nikolaus I. Rieflin (1448–1449), also Rüefferlin ; We do not know whether it came from nearby Alsace or Switzerland. But the latter is more obvious; but it is reported of him that he was recalled after only a short term and buried in the chapter.
  • 18. Burchard II. Iselin (1449–1483), probably came from a family who had moved from Basel to Freiburg. Under him began the prayer fraternization documented in several Upper German monasteries , here with the sisters of the Cistercian convent Günterstal near Freiburg.
  • 19. Conrad II. Pfitelin (1483–1490) came from Malterdingen.
  • 20. Michael Sitz (1490–1508) from Emmendingen, was chased out of office for incompetence.
  • 21. Johannes V. Ringlin (1508-1540) of Villingen. During his reign in 1525 the monastery was looted and burned down by margravial farmers.
  • 22. John VI. Rath (1540–1541) from Emmendingen
  • 23. Sebastian Lutz (1541–1558) from Tübingen, a shining star in the history of the monastery in Tennenbach. Not only was he able to restore the severely damaged monastery, but he also promoted the good spiritual status of his sons. After the forced resignation of his predecessor, he came from the Cistercian abbey of Bebenhausen near Tübingen and returned there as abbot even after 20 arduous years in Tennenbach, but not without giving the monastery a new administrator beforehand.
  • 24. Georg I. Fabri (1558–1566) von Endingen, was a Cistercian monk in Tennenbach, where he also studied. His reputation was so great that the monks elected him 24th abbot. As Georg I Fabri von Endingen, he ruled from 1558 to June 1, 1566. It is reported that he had a lot of trouble repairing the remaining damage caused by the Peasant War . He was buried in the chapter house of Tennenbach in 1566.
  • 25. Friedrich Abstetter (1566–1568) from Kenzingen. There is not much tangible left of him, but we do know that he probably died during a visitation in the Tennenbach Curia in Freiburg, i.e. in the Tennenbacher Hof, and was then buried in the chapter house of the monastery. News says that at that time few offspring entered the monastery and therefore guest monks, i.e. exiles from other Cistercian abbeys, made themselves available for monastery offices in Tennenbach.
  • 26. John VII Schirer (also Schürer , 1568–1575) from Endingen; He paid off the debts for the reconstruction of the abbey, which had been devastated in the Peasants' War, and began to rebuild the monastery church.
  • 27. Georg II. Sartorius (1575–1576) von Endingen; he was probably caused by his compatriot Abbot Johann VII. Schürer from Tennenbach to enter there. On July 3, 1561 he was enrolled in Freiburg as a religious of the Tennenbach monastery; at that time he still wrote himself “Sartoris” (the tailor). In 1575/76 he appears as Abbot Georg II. Sartori. So he became the successor of his patron Abbot Johann VII. Schürer.
  • 28. Joseph Weißhaar (1576–1585) from Waldkirch
  • 29. Martin II. Schleher, von Villingen, elected in 1585
