family

Ludolf Grove was related to Berthold Rike , from 1409 to 1436 Dompropst in Lübeck , as well as Ludolf Quirre , who made it up to the Dompropst in Halberstadt .

The Grove and Quirre families owned neighboring properties between the Leinstrasse and the Leine in Hanover, a site on which the Leineschloss was later to be built: in 1452, Bishop Grove gave the Grove family's "domus" to the Minorite Monastery in Hanover - on the site there The herb garden then built by the friars bordered the "Quirresche property".

Career

Ludolf Grove served for several "years in the representation of the German Order Procurator at the Curia" in Rome , but did not achieve a high degree in canon law . With the order from the Teutonic Order to find obstacles to the elevation of Dietrich Reseler to bishopric, Grove went to Livonia and was initially provided with a canon position by the order . Nevertheless, Grove soon switched to the side of the reseller, who was massively threatened by the Teutonic Order. Thereupon he was elected thesaurary by the cathedral chapter and sent to the Basel council as the representative of its bishop and the cathedral chapter of Ösel .

In Basel Grove met two other Hanoverians: Johannes Schele , one of the presidents of the council “and a kind of cardinal protector for the Livonian dioceses in their dispute against the Teutonic Order”, and Dietrich Nagel (* approx. 1400 in Hanover; † 1468/69 ), the representative of the Riga Bishopric . Not least because of the support and probably the reputation of Nagel and friends of Schele, the election of Grove as Bishop of Ösel was approved by the council.

So Grove left for his diocese in 1440 and - like Dietrich Reseler in Dorpat before him - moved to his own relatives, compatriots and friends. With them he fought continuously in and around Ösel, but finally successfully against a rival : In 1439, another bishop from the ranks of the Teutonic Order was appointed by Pope Eugene IV , who was deposed by the Basel Council in the same year . Grove eventually outlived his rival and remained Bishop of Ösel until the end of his life.

In 1452 Ludolf Grove gave the “domus” of his Grove family on Leinstrasse to the Minorite monastery in his hometown ; The Leineschloss was later built on the site .
