Life

origin

He was the eldest son of Ekkehardt I von Scheyern and Richgard von Krain-Orlamünde and brother of Ekkehard II von Scheyern and Udalrich I von Scheyern .

Act

From 1110 to 1111 Otto V was in the First Italian Campaign in the entourage of Henry V.

In 1113, his initiative led to all relatives and other owners agreeing that the original ancestral castle of the von Scheyern family could be converted into a monastery. When the ancestral seat of the von Scheyern family was relocated to Wittelsbach Castle near Aichach , Otto has been calling himself after this place since 1116. He was thus the namesake for the ruling house of the Wittelsbachers, who ruled Bavaria until 1918.

In 1116 Otto became Count Palatine in Bavaria. He vogged Scheyern , Geisenfeld , Kühbach , St. Ulrich , Weihenstephan and the Hochstift Freising . In 1121 he became Vogt of Ensdorf and Indersdorf .

On May 23, 1123 he founded the monastery in Ensdorf. He felt obliged to do so, since he had participated in the capture of Pope Paschalis in 1111 under Emperor Henry V. As a result, he was banned from church . Because of this monastery establishment, Pope Paschalis issued a bull with which the ban was lifted.
