Siegfried Lander von Spanheim
Siegfried Lander von Spanheim (* in the 14th century ; † March 31, 1424 ) was a landmaster in Livonia .
Life
As a knight of the Teutonic Order , Lander was Komtur von Marienburg (1411) and Fellin (1413). In September 1415 he became land master . He regularly participated in the armistice negotiations with Poland-Lithuania and the clashes at the Council of Constance . He could not prevent the subsequent peace of Lake Melno in September 1422; But he followed the peace provisions.
In 1415 he also took over the office of vicarius in temporalibus of the Archbishopric of Riga , which Archbishop Johannes von Wallenrode had leased to the order for twelve years in 1405. After Lander returned the archbishopric in 1417, Johannes Ambundi became the new archbishop the following year. Lander was no longer able to enforce his right to visit the Riga Cathedral Chapter. The foreign policy and economic weakness of the order opposed the Livonian unitary state. At general diets he sought the political path that corresponded to his military task for all of Livonia. He could not prevent that the archbishop's efforts at the curia led to the fact that the incorporation of the cathedral chapter was lifted in 1423. However, shortly before his death, he succeeded in asserting himself against Riga's rebellion .
