Wilbrand von Käfernburg
Wilbrand von Kevernburg , also Wulbrand (* around 1180 ; † April 5, 1253 ) was Archbishop of Magdeburg from 1235 to 1253 .
Life
He was the son of Count Günter II von Käfernburg from his second marriage to Adelheid von Loccum-Hallermund .
Wilbrand was first mentioned in August 1209 as provost of St. Nicolai in Magdeburg and as the canon there. In 1212 he became provost of Bibra and worked from 1212 to 1226 as papal subdeacon and cathedral treasurer. Through the mediation of his half-brother Archbishop Albrecht I von Käfernburg , he became provost of the cathedral in Magdeburg in 1225.
After Albrecht's death on October 15, 1232, the cathedral chapter elected Burchard von Woldenberg as his successor at the end of December 1232 , although Wilbrand was predestined for it. After Burchard's death he was elected his successor on May 31, 1235 and consecrated at the end of the year.
In March 1236 Wilbrand gave the citizens of Magdeburg at their request two acres of land near the Krökentor, known as the Steinkuhlen.
Wilbrand had good relations with the Kaiser. The relationship with the Pope, however, was particularly disturbed after the banishment of Emperor Friedrich II von Hohenstaufen by Pope Gregory IX in 1239. Wilbrand's loyalty to the emperor was a provocation, which then defied Gregor's successor Innocent IV with several threats of ban . In 1245 Innocent IV commissioned the Archbishop of Mainz to consecrate the elect of Naumburg, since his metropolitan , Archbishop Wilbrand of Magdeburg, had been excommunicated .
Wilbrand was fighting with the Ascanians Johann I and Otto III. , because he the cities of Köpenick and Mittenwalde Heinrich III. transferred from Meissen. In addition to this, as well as the final dominance over the Teltow and Barnim in the course of the German state expansion to the east, the Teltow War and Magdeburg War broke out from 1239 to 1245 . Subsequently, Wilbrand was able to win the state of Lebus for the ore monastery of Magdeburg.
In 1253 (before April 5) he acquired four more Hufen land for the cloister courtyard of the Agnetenkloster in Neustadt near Magdeburg.
Wilbrand von Käfernburg was buried in Magdeburg Cathedral.
