Liemar (unknown – 16 May 1101, in Bremen) was archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen from 1072 to 1101, and an important figure of the early Investiture Contest.
[1] In 1074 the papal legates Gerald of Ostia and Hubert of Palestrina put pressure on him to hold a local synod; he resisted, was suspended, and by 1075 his views against papal interference with bishops had hardened.
[2] In 1080, he attended the Synod of Brixen that condemned Pope Gregory VII.
[4] Liemar was one of many bishops who was irked by Gregory VII's encroachment of episcopal autonomy.
