Lupold von Nordenberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lupold (Leopold) von Nordenberg (* in the 12th century ; † 1276 probably at Burg Nordenberg ) was the imperial master chef of the Holy Roman Empire and provost of Feuchtwangen .

Life

Lupold of Nordenberg , first mentioned in 1156, was the son of Henry of Nordenberg, imperial Reichsküchenmeister, Empire Vogt to Rothenburg and Nuremberg . Lupold's son inherited the office of Imperial Kitchen Master and Nordenberg Castle between 1235 and 1240 .

Lupold von Nordenberg gained great political importance through his close relationship with Staufer -Emperor Friedrich II. And - after the fall of the Staufer - through his support for Rudolf I von Habsburg in the election of German king (1273). He also had close ties to Albertus Magnus , the most important scholar of the 13th century and teacher of Thomas Aquinas . When Lupold von Nordenberg converted the official residence of the Imperial Hereditary Kitchen Master into a Dominican convent in 1249 , Albertus Magnus inaugurated it. Allegedly, he is said to have also consecrated the Romanesque cross donated by Lupold - as the administrator of the Hohenstaufen estates - to store the Holy Blood relic around 1250 , the relic later became the religious centerpiece of the Holy Blood Altar by Tilman Riemenschneider .

In 1261, his relative Engelhard von Bebenburg gave him his property and bailiff's rights in Buch.

Lupold married Adelheid von Seckendorff, abbess of the Dominican convent of Rothenburg and daughter of Ludwig von Seckendorff, Lord of Seckendorf and Zennhausen . Lupold and Adelheid were buried in the monastery church.
