Johann III. Rode by Wale (also Rhode, rufus ) (* 1445 in Bremen, † December 4, 1511 at Castle VOERDE, today Bremervörde ) was from 1497 to 1511 Archbishop of the diocese of Bremen.
Biography
Rodes father Heinrich Rode was 1484-1496 councilor in Bremen, his maternal grandfather was the Mayor Borchard Vagedes. He grew up in Bremen and studied from 1465 in Rostock. Between 1468 and 1485 Rode was dean at the Bremen Cathedral, then he was provost. During his tenure as dean of the Bremen Church, he was enrolled since 1468 in the University of Erfurt, where he was in 1470 elected rector. 1474 he was awarded a doctorate from both universities.
On January 30, 1497 Rode was elected Archbishop of Bremen and from now on as John III. referred to; he was due to his bourgeois ( " urban " ) origin by Burchard Grelle the second (and last) Civil, who was elected in Bremen bishop. Immediately upon taking up his duties, he realized that he could not prevail without military power in Bremen, and therefore turned to Henry I of Brunswick- Wolfenbüttel. For this he took his 12 - year-old son Christopher of Brunswick- Lüneburg coadjutor.
When Magnus I of Saxe- Lauenburg towards the end of 1400 - years old Saxon claims to claims made sausages and raided the country, who called John III. the cities of Bremen and Hamburg and drove Magnus and his supporters, with the help of Dithmarsch, from the country. Then took Magnus the Great Guard, also known as the Black Guard, from Holland and East Friesland to help. Only a Bremen, she was dismissed. In Verden they conquered the crossing of the river Weser, Bremen devastated, especially the monasteries, and part of the Lüneburg, and then tried on Lehe ( now a district of Bremerhaven ) to penetrate into the country sausages. There they were repulsed at Weddewarden, whereupon the Black Guard marched into the country Hadeln. Beginning of 1500 then peace talks were held: The Dukes of Saxe -Lauenburg kept Hadeln, the Wurster went under the rule of the archbishop, but largely retained their independence. The Black Guard was taken from the Danish king under contract, who wanted to conquer with her Dithmar. There, she was beaten into the dust of the Dithmarschers at the Battle of Hemmingstedt.
Johann III. tried in vain to recover lost rights of the archbishopric to regain. Among other things, he had to 1498-1500 the " Vörder Register" ( Registrum bonorum et Iurium Castri Vorde citra et ultra Oestam, preserved in the Royal Archives at Stade ) Create outlining the districts of the pen Bremen and the sovereign claims. The districts listed are: the Börden Oerel, Lamstedt, Mulsum, Bargstedt, Ahlerstedt, Oldendorf, Selsingen, Heeslingen, Sittingbourne, Sindelsdorf and Altenwalde, also the grand march District with the courts in the three parishes of East Großenwörden and Horst, the Court Vieland and the land of sausages.
The Johann III. made the purchase of the wooded Wingstberge, a altbillungischen possession led, decades later ( and after his death), in 1544 the feud of his nephew Johann Rode against Johanns successor Christoph von Braunschweig -Lüneburg, because this under the pretext that the possession was Kirchgut, it wanted to turn his own son Karsten Hillen.
1502 was Johann III. replace the old north aisle of the nave in the Bremen Cathedral by the still preserved northern nave hall.
1503 he graduated on the Leher Thingplace near the ferry Geestemünde a 5- year truce with the East Frisians.
