Peter I (Ebrach)
Peter I († February 24, 1404 in Ebrach ) was abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Ebrach from 1385 to 1404 .
Life
Peter I was born in the 14th century. The place of birth of the future abbot is unknown, but a place in the Franconian region is likely due to the entry into the monastery of the Steigerwald Abbey . The parents and any siblings are also not known. Peter entered the monastery at a very young age and soon made his vows . He quickly rose within the monastery, but it is not known which offices he held.
After the death of his predecessor Otto Jäger from Austria, the monks chose Peter as his successor. The newly elected prelate had to fight with the consequences of the Franconian city war. Bishop Gerhard von Schwarzburg fought against the Free Imperial Cities and also affected the area of the abbey. In the course of this war, the collegium of the abbey in Würzburg was closed and moved to Erfurt in 1394. Peter I at least acquired some goods. He died on February 24, 1404.
