Ludwig Schenk von Neindorf ( pincerna de Neindorp or Nendorp ) († July 29, 1347 ) was from 1327 to 1347 as Ludwig Bishop of the Diocese of Brandenburg and as this Prince-Bishop of the Bishopric of Brandenburg . He belonged to the Premonstratensian Order .

Live and act

Ludwig was born the son of Johann Schenk von Neindorf and his wife Jutta. Proven brothers are Johannes and Jordan, who in 1331 was referred to as miles , a knight, and in 1341 was canon in Naumburg .

Ludwig von Neindorf was probably first mentioned in a document as "Ludo vicus miles de Nendorp" on August 18, 1311 as a witness in a Magdeburg document from Archbishop Burkhard III. On September 4, 1311 he was described as a canon and on June 27, 1316 as a scholastic of Merseburg . On March 8, 1318 Ludwig was named as canon of Halberstadt and on May 2, 1322 cathedral treasurer of Merseburg in documents. He was also a canon of Naumburg.

After the Halberstadt bishop Albrecht I of Anhalt died on September 17, 1324, the cathedral chapter elected Ludwig von Neindorf as the new bishop. He could not take up the office, however, because his opponent Albrecht II of Braunschweig-Lüneburg took it for himself. Pope John XXII. thereupon appointed on November 14th 1324 the canon of St. Gereon in Cologne Giselbert von Holstein to the bishop of Halberstadt.

Two and a half years later, on May 4, 1327, Ludwig von Neindorf, who was staying in Avignon at the time, was appointed Bishop of Brandenburg by the Pope. The bishop's chair was vacant to the extent that after the death of John I in 1324 the cathedral chapter had elected Heinrich von Barby as bishop, but this election was never confirmed by the pope. Until Heinrich handed over the diocese to Ludwig, the latter worked for a certain time as vicar general of Bishop Giselbert von Holstein. It was not until January 1, 1329 that Bishop Ludwig entered into relations with the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter.

The interdict of Pope John XXII lasted from 1327 to 1358, during the reign of his successor . against Emperor Ludwig IV. Bishop Ludwig is said to have switched to the imperial camp at an early stage.

The Brandenburg bishop Ludwig made Ziesar Castle a permanent residence and administrative seat during his tenure . During his tenure, there were records of Cistercian nuns in the city from 1331 at the latest . Furthermore, the Augustinian order was allowed to operate a datei . In 1341 the bishop donated the Ziesar monastery , a Marian monastery , to the Cistercian women. Furthermore, the assassination of the provost of Bernau and the inquisition against heretics in the eastern Brandenburg town of Angermünde also occurred during this period .

Bishop Ludwig died on July 29, 1347.
