Otto Tanner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Tanner was provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery from 1355 to 1357 .

Not much is known about Tanner's life and work at the moment. It is believed that he was closely related to Konrad IV. Tanner and had already worked as a canon dean for many years before he was promoted to provost in old age.

During his term of office, as provost of the Berchtesgaden monastery, he was still subject to the metropolitan authority of the Archdiocese of Salzburg . It was not until 1455 that the monastery was able to get rid of it and was then subordinate to the Pope in spiritual matters . But the secular independence of the Stiftspropstei began to manifest itself as early as 1294 through the acquisition of blood jurisdiction for serious offenses. Thus Zeller was on an equal footing with the imperial princes .

After decades of confusion between the monastery and the Archdiocese of Salzburg, Tanner benefited from the complaints of his third from last predecessor and presumed relative, Conrad IV. Tanner , who thus passed on to Salzburg Archbishop Friedrich III. the promise that since then production and export of the Schellenberger salt through the area of ​​the ore monastery has been allowed to proceed unhindered. As early as 1313, every tenth salt ship on the Salzach or Inn came from Berchtesgaden.
