Rudolf of Nebra
Rudolf von Nebra († January 13, 1359 ) was Bishop of Naumburg from 1352 to 1359 .
Rudolf came from the family of Schenk von Nebra-Döbritsche-Bedra, a branch of the Schenk von Vargula - a family that went from the ministerial nobility to the high nobility.
Rudolf was canon of Naumburg and, together with his brothers, acquired extensive estates near Querfurt. The cathedral chapter elected him bishop as provost, albeit without the consent of the pope. Therefore, Clement VI appointed. In 1352 in Avignon the Breslau canon Johannes von Neumarkt , who was pastor in Neumarkt, was the opposing candidate. With King Charles IV , John rose to protonotary in 1352 and chancellor at the end of 1353. When Johannes was made bishop of Leitomischl in 1353 , Rudolf saw himself confronted as a new opponent with the Franciscan Burchard Graf von Mansfeld . After Rudolf could not be ousted, the Pope installed Cardinal Guy de Boulogne to investigate the situation in Naumburg. A final decision in favor of Rudolf was not made until 1358.
26 documents date from Rudolf's time as bishop, 21 of which have been preserved in the original. He documented several times in matters concerning the monasteries of his diocese. He is said to have been buried in Naumburg Cathedral , a writing by Carl Peter Lepsius mentioned his epitaph.
