Philipp von Rehberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philipp von Rehberg († 1385 ), was a German Roman Catholic clergyman, from 1370 until his death Bishop of Cammin in Pomerania .

He came from a noble family, possibly the von Helpe family . He became provost of the Stettiner Marienstifts , archdeacon of Demmin and in 1356 Vice-Dominus of the Camminer cathedral monastery .

After the previous bishop of Cammin, Johann von Sachsen-Lauenburg , died in 1370, the cathedral chapter of Cammin elected him as the new bishop of Cammin. He was appointed by Pope Urban V in 1370 (“provident”).

Bishop Philipp finally managed to repel the attempts of the Archdiocese of Gniezno to incorporate the Diocese of Cammin into its ecclesiastical province and to secure the subordination of the diocese directly to the Pope (" exemption "). In September 1371, the papal plenipotentiary Philippe de Cabassole , Cardinal Bishop of Sabina, decided a process in favor of exemption. In 1380 this decision was finally confirmed by the Pope.

Under Bishop Philip a collection of the statutes of the Camminer cathedral chapter and the diocese was completed. These Statuta capituli et episcopatus Caminiensis show the Bishop of Cammin as the chief pastor of the Pomeranian dukes and their first council.

Bishop Philipp died in 1385 and was buried in the Camminer Cathedral . Camminer canon Johannes Wilcken , who died before his episcopal ordination, was elected as his successor .
