Warmann of Constance

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warmann von Konstanz , also Warmann von Dillingen , (first mentioned in 1026; † April 10, 1034 ) was Bishop of Konstanz from 1026 to 1034 .

Life

Warmann von Konstanz's date of birth is unknown. His family origins are also rather speculative. Presumably he and his brother and successor in office Eberhard I came from the Swabian noble family of the Counts of Dillingen and were sons of Count Riwin I of Dillingen and his wife Hildegard.

Hermann the Lahme , monk, scholar and chronicler of the Reichenau monastery , mentions in his world chronicle that Warmann was a monk in the Einsiedeln monastery before his episcopal ordination .

In 1026, Warmann was first mentioned as a participant in the Provincial Synod , which Archbishop Aribo of Mainz held at the Seligenstadt Monastery , as Bishop of Constance. The canon and biographer Wolfhere von Hildesheim reports in his Vita Godehardi prior that Warmann was consecrated in Seligenstadt. Apparently he received the episcopal ordination shortly before the beginning of the synod.

Bishop Warmann died on April 10, 1034 during a trip to Rome.

Act

Warmann von Konstanz took part in the imperial coronation of Konrad II and his wife Gisela von Schwaben in Rome on March 26, 1027 . Obviously he enjoyed the trust of the emperor, who entrusted him not only with the fight against his rebellious stepson Duke Ernst II. , Who had emerged from Gisela's second marriage to Ernst I , but also with the guardianship of Duke Hermann IV , who was still minor brother and successor in office of Ernst II, in whose place Bishop Warmann ruled the Duchy of Swabia for several years .

Bishop Warmann drove the monk and hermit Ratpero , who had settled on the island of Rötsee in the Nibelgau and built a chapel there, from his hermitage . His brother and successor in office, Eberhard I , brought Ratpero back to Rötsee and reinstated him in his rights.

In 1032 Warmann brought a lawsuit against Emperor Konrad II against the already awarded in 998 by Pope Gregory V and in 1031 by Pope John XIX. renewed and extended privilege of Reichenau abbots, the benediction receive directly from the Pope and the Mass with Dalmatica and sandals, so two Ornatsstücken which to celebrate really only bishops entitled. Thereupon Konrad II ordered Bern von Reichenau , the incumbent abbot of the Reichenau monastery, to hand over the privilege and the pontificals . On the following Maundy Thursday, Warmann burned both at the Diocesan Synod in Constance in 1033.
