from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich Putsch († August 28, 1437 ) was Ulrich II. Bishop of Brixen .

Origin and family

Ulrich Putsch came from a middle-class family from Donauwörth , his father Jacob Putsch completed theological and legal studies in Italy, his brother Heinrich Putsch († before June 13, 1428) was Heinrich V. from 1413 to 1428 abbot of Wilten Abbey . His nephew of the same name Ulrich Putsch († August 28, 1521 in Feldkirch ) was one of the councilors of Emperor Friedrich III. , Maximilian I and Charles V and was the father-in-law of Johannes Cuspinian .

Life

In 1407 he became a sworn chancellery notary clerk for Duke Friedrich , in 1411 pastor of Tisens and in 1412 collector of the dioceses of Trient , Brixen, Chur and Constance as well as secretary to the duke. In 1412 the Duke appointed him pastor of Tyrol near Meran , and he received a canonical in Trento. From 1413 to 1427 he was chancellor of the duke and in 1415 his envoy to King Sigismund in Perpignan . From 1417 to 1427 he was canon in Brixen.

In 1426 Ulrich Putsch translated an expanded version of the Lumen anime, widely used as a preacher's manual, with Licht der Seele .

At the instigation of the duke, Ulrich Putsch was elected Bishop of Brixen by the cathedral chapter on November 4, 1427. His opponents - among them Oswald von Wolkenstein - tried to thwart the confirmation of the election by Salzburg and Rome by pretending that he suffered from epilepsy. The confirmation by Pope Martin V finally took place on January 19, 1428. Since the Archbishop of Salzburg, Eberhard IV von Starhemberg, refused the ordination , the episcopal ordination took place in Venice . Ulrich Putsch moved into Bressanone on February 9 and confirmed the town charter that same year.

A unique diary provides information about Ulrich Putsch's term of office . Accordingly, he founded numerous churches and chapels and maintained good relations with the monasteries. He had the Epiphany Chapel built on the north side of the cathedral and arranged for a rich collection of books to be built. He was buried in the Epiphany Chapel; his tombstone is now on the cathedral facade.
