Ulrich Riederer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich Riederer (* around 1406 ; † December 11 or 13 , 1460 in Wiener Neustadt ) was one of the civil councilors of Friedrich III. As one of its chancellors and legal advisors, he was one of the emperor's closest confidants in the 1450s and early 1460s.

Live and act

origin

Dr. utr. iur. Ulrich Riederer was the son of Eberhard Riederer, the ducal Lower Bavarian district judge of Aichach, and his second wife Barbara. A relationship with the noble family Riederer von Paar is excluded in the more recent literature.

Due to his middle-class background and his successful career at the court, Riederer was one of those people who were also attacked by higher ranks as so-called climbers.

Beginnings in the Duchy of Bavaria-Ingolstadt

Riederer began his legal training in the winter semester of 1422 at the University of Vienna. It is not clear which other schools he attended and when and where he obtained the title of licentiate and later doctor of both rights. Rieder was initially in the service of his sovereign, Duke Ludwig of Bavaria-Ingolstadt , whom he was appointed envoy in 1440 in the dispute with his son of the same name at the royal court of Friedrich III. represented. In his service, he built close relationships with the clergy and the citizens of Augsburg.

Career at the Kaiserhof

In the autumn of 1442 he moved to the court of Emperor Friedrich III., Where he was initially appointed as part of the council, the chamber and the court of justice, where he was the leading assessor until his death.

In 1446 and 1451 Riederer represented the king in Vienna together with Rüdiger von Starhemberg and Sigmund von Ebersdorf . In 1448 Riederer stayed in Rome as his consiliarius et ambaxiator . In 1450 he played a leading role in the royal mission embassy to settle the princely-urban conflicts, especially the feud between Margrave Albrecht Achilles of Brandenburg and the imperial city of Nuremberg.

Riederer was one of the participants in the Rome train, in the preparation of which he was the promoter of Italian agendas at court.

Obviously Riederer was at the court of Frederick III. at the latest after his coronation as a learned councilor and diplomat in an intermediate position between the ruler, his chamber and the court of justice as well as the offices.

During the negotiations about the Albertine inheritance after the death of King Ladislaus of Hungary in 1458 he was at the head of the delegation of the imperial, which had accepted the oath of allegiance of the Viennese citizens and possessed the stationary body of the imperial "lawyers". In the events that led to the siege of the emperor in the Vienna Hofburg, he and the treasurer Johann von Rohrbach were seen by the emperor's opponents as one of those counselors who supposedly stood between the subjects and the emperor. He was asked to leave Vienna permanently and when the siege of the Hofburg began, he was arrested with Ulrich von Grafenegg and threatened with death. He finally managed to escape from Vienna. In 1461 he also tried to settle the disagreements between the emperor and Ludwig von Bayern-Landshut on behalf of the emperor in order to prevent an impending alliance between the emperor's opponents.

Benefices and property

In 1448 Riederer received the provost office of St. Johannesberg in Freising and the reservation of a canonical with prebende on the Konstanz church. At the same time he was granted a dispensation from the incompatibility of two benefits. As a result, he received other parish foundations, such as E.g. the parish church of St. Valentin with the chapel of St. Katharina in Großrußbach (BH Korneuburg, in today's Lower Austria), which was considered one of the richest parishes in the Duchy of Austria at the time and has been given preferentially to members of the chancellery by princes since the 14th century. On his death, Rieder left numerous benefices and possessions, most of which the emperor moved in. In 1454 he was made Provost of Freising.

Riederer was murdered on the street in Wiener Neustadt in December 1462.

Judgment by contemporaries

The office secretary Johann Tröster characterized him in his dialogue De amore, written in 1454, as a quick-witted speaker with considerable persuasiveness. Enea Silvio de Piccolomini dedicated a not too flattering obituary to him.
