Prince-Bishop Ulrich von Nussdorf

Ulrich von Nußdorf († September 2, 1479 ) was from 1451 to 1479 as Ulrich III. Prince-Bishop of the Diocese of Passau .

He was the second son of Georg von Nussdorf zu Prünning, a Salzburg hereditary land marshal and carer in Tittmoning . His mother was the free woman Agnes von Stauff zu Ehrenfels near Beratzhausen in the Upper Palatinate. Ulrich was enrolled at the University of Vienna in 1432 and obtained his artistic bachelor's degree there in 1435. He then studied law in Bologna and Padua and obtained the degree of Dr. decretorum, was ordained a priest around 1440 and then provost of St. Andreas and provost at Freising Cathedral .

He also owned the city ​​parish in Linz and acted as a notary for King Ladislaus Postumus . In 1451 he was elected canon in Passau and on July 10th, 1451 the cathedral chapter there unanimously elected bishop. Confirmation by the Pope did not follow until November 4, 1454. In 1455 he was consecrated by the Archbishop of Salzburg, Sigismund von Volkersdorf .

Nussdorf served Emperor Friedrich III. as Chancellor and was the Privy Councilor of the Bavarian Duke Ludwig IX. In 1458/59 and again in 1468 he sent troops against the Bohemian King George of Podebrady , and in 1460 he had Waldkirchen surrounded by a strong curtain wall.

In 1470 he organized a diocesan synod in which liturgical, disciplinary and pastoral regulations were passed in 55 chapters. When the new diocese of Vienna was founded in 1469, he was passed over as the responsible bishop, and in 1477, in the presence of the cathedral chapter, he lodged a solemn protest against the procedure and against the new founding as such.

In 1478 the persecution of Jews took place in Passau because of an alleged host crime , which led to the construction of the St. Salvator Church on the site of a former synagogue. On August 14, 1479, a few days before his death, Bishop Ulrich laid the foundation stone for this building.
