Ulrich II of Dapfen

Ulrich II. Von Dapfen , also Uldarich II. Von Dapfen , (* before 1088; † 1123 ) was abbot of the Reichenau monastery from 1088 to 1123.

Life

Ulrich von Dapfen came from the noble family of the Lords of Dapfen, who had their headquarters in Dapfen , in the great Lautertal , west of Münsingen . After the death of Abbot Ekkehard II of Nellenburg , at the instigation of the Guelph Duke Welf V , he was elected the new abbot of Reichenau Island .

After him Emperor Henry IV. , With the express consent of Staufen Duke Frederick of Swabia , a royal market law gave founded, Ulrich von Dapfen in 1100 to Radolfzell market and is considered an important forerunner of the later city Radolfzell .

During his abbat, Ulrich von Dapfen particularly tried to exempt his monastery from the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Constance , which led to persistent disputes with the Constance Bishop Gebhard III. led. Bishop Gebhard had obtained a decree from Pope Urban II in 1089 , which guaranteed him episcopal power over the clergy and people of the monastery island, with the exception of the convent members, and granted him the right to become the abbot of Reichenau monastery, the monastery of St. Gallen and others To appoint and consecrate monasteries. Ulrich von Dapfen, however, refused to accept the ordination from the Bishop of Constance. In 1095 he was ordained abbot by Pope Urban II at the Synod of Piacenza . However, the Pope also affirmed the abbot's ban on exercising episcopal rights vis-à-vis the people and clergy of Reichenau. Ulrich von Dapfen, however, opposed this ban, which is why he received several papal warning letters. In order to fight for the independence of his abbey, he did not shy away from having papal documents forged. During his time as Reichenau Abbot, Reichenau was probably the most famous forgery workshop of the 12th century.
