Gottfried, Bishop of Passau
Life and work
The
Henry XIII. In March 1284 Gottfried organized a synod in St. Pölten, where important resolutions were adopted to promote the clergy. In addition, he managed to organize the finances of the Passau diocese. He dedicated the choir of the St. Florian church to the cross altar to the west of the nave with the high altar and the two altars in the sides of the side ships.[4]
In the Bavarian State Archives there is a certificate recording the birth of the 5th season of the town fair (Carnival). Bishop Gottfried confirms the "festival" in 1283 for the clothmaker's trade - it included a feast, the last which may be celebrated before the fasting season of lent begins on Ash Wednesday.[5]
His bones are located in the bishop's tomb of Passau's cathedral.
