Ulrich I of Colditz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich I von Colditz († September 13, 1315 ) was Bishop of Naumburg from 1304 to 1315 .

Ulrich I came from the von Colditz family , who provided the Meissen bishop almost at the same time as Withego II von Colditz . Another 14th century Meissen bishop was Thimo von Colditz . Ulrich I's father was a full bike from Colditz auf Breitenhain . Ulrich's other names are from Wolkenburg or, incorrectly, from Eilenburg . It is possible that his mother came from the von Bünau family , into which a sister married.

Ulrich I was canon in Naumburg and pastor of the Naumburg town church St. Wenzel . In 1297, with the consent of Pope Boniface VIII, he still accepted Meissner canon pledges. As a bishop, he maintained a friendly relationship with the Wettins . He campaigned several times for the Cistercian Abbey of Pforta and other monasteries.

The place of the burial of Ulrich I is unknown, the news of a pompous funeral in Naumburg Cathedral comes from the Taubesche Chronik of the history forger Johann Georg Rauhe .
