Diepold of Berg

Both his older brother Heinrich and the younger Manegold played an important role in the history of the Diocese of Passau.

On 23 November of the year, he was, at the urging of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa (present at the ceremony), and with the consent of Pope Alexander III.

[3][4] In 1178 he took part in the provincial synod in Hohenau at the Inn and traveled to Rome in 1179 to the third Lateran Council.

Back at Passau he had been confronted to the fire of the city in 1181, Diepold energetically sought the reconstruction of the cathedral and the residence.

In 1189, he accompanied Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa to the unsuccessful Third Crusade, and finally died in November 1190, together with six canons of the Passau Cathedral, during the siege of Acre in the camp near the city.
