Pilgrim of Cologne
Pilgrim († August 25, 1036 ) was Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cologne from 1021 to 1036 , and since 1031 Arch Chancellor of Italy .
Life
His father was Chadalhoch IV. († 1030), Count im Isengau , a brother of Archbishop Aribo of Mainz , from the family of the Aribones ; his grandfather was Count Palatine Aribo I. His mother was probably a pilgrim .
From 1016 to 1021 Pilgrim was provost of the cathedral in Bamberg . As Chancellor of the Emperor for Italy, he stayed with Emperor Heinrich II in Cologne in 1021 , where the election of a bishop was just taking place. The choice fell on Pilgrim and the emperor appointed his confidante archbishop of Cologne on June 29, 1021 .
In 1022 Pilgrim led part of the imperial army, occupied Capua and took the city of Salerno. After the death of Emperor Heinrich II, he was one of the Lorraine greats around Duke Dietrich and thus not one of the voters of Conrad II. But he soon found a way to become the new king, whose wife Gisela he crowned three weeks after the king's election. In 1024 Pilgrim founded the Brauweiler Abbey , whose monks he brought from Stablo . He took part in the Synod of Frankfurt in 1027 .
At Easter 1028 he crowned Heinrich III. in Aachen. 1031 Pilgrim won the Erzamt the arch-chancellor of Italy for the Cologne archbishops. Pilgrim also acquired the right to mint coins for Cologne and Andernach on behalf of the Archbishops of Cologne . On May 21, 1034, Pilgrim gave the newly built monastery St. Nikolaus zu Brauweiler a courtyard in Cologne along with the associated houses. He expanded the St. Aposteln Abbey on Neumarkt in Cologne , where Pilgrim found his final resting place after his death.
