Life

After the death of Abbot Arnold I von Falkenberg - in office from 1051 to October 2, 1055 - Saracho von Rosdorf was immediately entrusted with the provisional management of the monastery, but his confirmation and consecration did not take place until spring 1056. He admitted 1056 to take office Create donation register. This differentiates between possessions and rights of the monastery, as well as between "older" donations, which it received between 822 and 875 and "younger" ones from the period between 965 and 1037. His appointment as abbot of one of the most important imperial monasteries presumably owed his family connections to the house of Northeim / Boyneburg, whose representative at the time, Otto I. von Northeim , was Duke of Bavaria and chief bailiff of the Corvey monastery.

As the abbot of an imperial monastery, Saracho von Rosdorf automatically belonged to the advisory group of the German king and emperor. It was an expression of its great importance that on June 30, 1060 King Henry IV, along with his mother and guardians, came to visit Corvey. Saracho's misfortune was that his tenure fell in the early years of King Henry IV. In 1056 he was a six-year-old child who was under the tutelage of his mother Agnes von Poitou , as well as the archbishops of Anno II of Cologne and Adalbert of Hamburg-Bremen . On March 9, 1062, Saracho von Rosdorf stayed in the imperial palace of Goslar and, together with the bishops Egilbert von Minden , Imad von Paderborn, Abbess Adelheid von Gandersheim and Duke Otto von Bayern, was one of the proponents and witnesses of a gift from King Heinrich IV the diocese of Hildesheim . Only one year later, on September 6, 1063, under the influence of his guardian, Archbishop Adalbert von Hamburg-Bremen, the underage Heinrich IV donated the rich and powerful Corvey Abbey to him. Saracho von Rosdorf does not accept this intrigue and tries to get the support of his relative Otto von Northeim, as well as Pope Alexander II. In the following year 1064, Pope Alexander II granted the Corvey monastery under his abbot Saracho von Rosdorf papal immediacy. The monastery was thus withdrawn from the supervision and influence of the Archbishop of Hamburg. When Otto von Northeim also intervened as the powerful imperial prince and governor of Corveys, the king and his false adviser collapsed and in June 1066 also confirmed the monastery in Hersfeld's independence (libertas). In 1067, uprisings raged against the young king and his false advisers in the Duchy of Saxony. Corvey Abbey and the nearby town of Höxter will be affected. In 1068 Abbot Saracho attended the inauguration of the cathedral church in Paderborn by Bishop Imad. After 1068, Saracho excelled as a builder. Extensive renovation work in and on the monastery itself, various church buildings within the villages belonging to the monastery and the initiative to rebuild St. Kilian's Church in Höxter can be traced back to him. Saracho zu Corvey dies on January 9, 1071. He was succeeded by Warin II of Corvey.

  1. ↑ Falke has very falsified this register in order to bring it into agreement with his processing of the tradition register, but also in favor of his genealogical hypotheses, as Paul Wigand in his comprehensive work: Der Corveysche Güterbesitz, 1831, und Corvey'sche Geschichtsquellen, 1841 has demonstrated impressively.

  3. ↑ Saracho, also known as von Rostorp, belonging to the family of the Northeim Counts, was an active, worthy, impeccable abbot whose reign unfortunately fell into the time of Henry IV. We have already mentioned in the case of Adelbert von Bremen that he received the Corvey and Lorsch Abbeys from the Emperor. ... The Duke of Baiern and Count of Northeim, Otto, took care of the abbot and in 1066 restored Corvey's independence. Saracho now recovered, and directed all activity to the pile of the pen. He especially enjoyed building and a lot. The Kilian's Church is said to be largely his work. When a great fire in 1070 put the city of Corvey in ashes, he worked towards the production of good buildings. ... He died as early as 1071, after he had seen the devastation, the inundation, the cattle epidemic and the renewed rutting of fire at Corvey.
