origin
Wolfram von Grumbach came from the Franconian nobility Wolfskeel . He belonged to the line of the family based in Grumbach , which initially and at the time of Wolframs called itself "Wolfskeel von Grumbach", but later only called " von Grumbach ". Wolfram's father was Wolfelin. It is known about his mother that she was born von Scherenberg . His brother Berthold († 1331) was provost of the cathedral, his sister Elisabeth abbess in the Himmelspforten monastery . Especially in older sources, Wolfram is referred to as the uncle of Otto II von Wolfskeel .
Wolfram as a bishop
Wolfram was one of the few imperial princes in the ruling conflict about the decoupling of the state from the church, who was on the side of Pope John XXII. stood against Ludwig the Bavarian . The Pope commissioned him in 1325 to help Heinrich II von Sternberg - contrary to Ludwig's intentions - to the bishopric in Bamberg . Wolfram allied himself with Archbishop Matthias of Mainz , Bishop Johann I of Strasbourg and Duke Leopold I of Austria, brother of the captured Frederick the Fair . After damage in the fight, which mainly the Prince Abbot Heinrich VI. von Fulda originated, and after the imposition of the interdict on the city of Schwäbisch Hall , which supported Ludwig , Wolfram changed his political stance. He entered into a protective alliance with Berthold VII of Henneberg-Schleusingen and Friedrich IV of Nuremberg, who were on Ludwig's side. He later reconciled with the king, but he also managed to maintain good relations with the Pope. Ludwig requested 30 glaive from him in the fight against the Mark Brandenburg in 1331 and also took part in the procession against Duke Heinrich II of Lower Bavaria and in the siege of Straubing.
Wolfram Wolfskeel von Grumbach also led a feud against Wolfram von Rotenhan . Its ancestral castle was destroyed and in 1324 incorporated into the diocese as a castle stable . Albrecht V von Hohenlohe sold both the castle and the town of Möckmühl to the bishop in 1328 and was appointed Burgmann on Stolberg. In 1325, Ludwig the Bavarian subsequently allowed Ludwig von Hohenlohe to be appointed by the bishop as heir to Iphofen .
In the conflict with the up-and-coming Würzburg citizenship, citizens forcibly entered the cathedral in 1323. After a court of arbitration by the Ebrach Abbot Friedrich, the rioters had to be temporarily exiled to Karlstadt in 1324 . In negotiations, the city of Würzburg and the bishop agreed on mutual support in the event of war in 1327. In 1332, Ludwig the Bavarian confirmed to the citizens that they only had to submit to the place of jurisdiction in the city.
Numerous parishes were founded during Wolfram's tenure: Marktbreit (1324), Urphar , Binsfeld and Halsheim (1325), Waldmannshofen (1327), Zeilitzheim (1328), Waldhausen, Erzberg and Stockheim (1330), Schonungen (1332), Adelshofen , Bettwar, Schweinsdorf and Oberstreu (1333). In the years 1329 and 1330 Wolfram held a diocesan synod .
His grave was in the Würzburg Cathedral . The appearance of the tomb has been handed down. A Franconian rake could be seen on this for the first time , which later became the coat of arms of Franconia and the Franconian duchy of Würzburg bishops.
