Life

Tumba of Count Ulrich and his wife Richardis in the parish church of Ebersberg

Ulrich von Ebersberg was the youngest son of Count Adalbero I († September 11, 969) and Luitgard von Dillingen († October 30, 969), a niece of the canonized Bishop Ulrich von Augsburg , who was his godfather and whose name he received.

The chronicles report that he was born crippled " not only in the body but also in the spirit ". By the grace of God, the child should be healed through baptism. Later Ulrich was sacrificed at the altar in the newly built church in Ebersberg and this treatment is said to have brought him physical and mental recovery. At the end of his life he lost his left eye.

He married Richardis von Viehbach († April 23, 1013), daughter of Markwart II. Von Viehbach, (double wedding around 970, when Ulrich's sister Hadamut also married the Richardis' brother, Markwart III. ). Countess Richardis is said to have had an extremely poor sense of direction. She got lost once and was only found days later at Eglharting's with only one shoe left. At the place where the second shoe was left, Ulrich had a church built to thank his wife for the rescue. Today the Church of the Finding of the Cross is located here in the Neukirchen district.

In 975 he became Vogt of Freising and in 1004/09 Vogt of Tegernsee. In 990 Ulrich von Ebersberg had called Benedictine monks to Ebersberg for the construction of the Ebersberg monastery. He appointed the first abbot from the St. Ulrich and Afra monastery of Augsburg .

Initially he was the supporter of the Ottonians and thus opponent of Heinrich the Quarrel . In 986, after reconciliation with Heinrich, he received 29 serfs.

In 1011/12 he is attested as a count in the Mark of Krain , which was separated from Carinthia around this time and became directly part of the empire . He is said to have also directed the Mark an der Sann .

In 1024 he unsuccessfully opposed the election of his grandson Altmann as Abbot of Ebersberg.

Count Ulrich and his wife Richardis were buried in the Ebersberg abbey church, where an elaborate donor's tomb was erected for them in the 15th century (see: Tomb for Ulrich von Ebersberg and Richardis von Kärnten ).

progeny

The following children came from his marriage to Richardis von Eppenstein :

  • Adalbero II. (Around 980 / 85-1045)
  • Eberhard II. (Around 995-1065)
  • Willibirg III. (* around 995/1000; † November 25, 1044) 1.) ∞ Werigand († 1037), Count of Friuli ; 2.) ∞ Wezelin of Istria († 1040)
  • Judith Tuta ∞ Sieghard VI. from Büren

With a concubine he fathered an illegitimate child who was called Ruthrude and gave birth to a boy named Altmann. Altmann died on June 12, 1045 in the collapse of Persenbeug Castle as Abbot of Ebersberg (from 1001 to 1024 nominally and from 1024 to 1045 actually).
