The Diocese and direct link with the Polish kingdom ended when Boleslaw I Chrobry withdrew his troops around 1013, chased out by pagan Pomeranians, not willing to convert to Christianity. A century later, Kołobrzeg was again taken over by Boleslaw Krzywousty. A diocese was in existence in 1124 under Prince-Bishop Otto of Bamberg. On May 23, 1255 the city was chartered with Luebeck laws by duke Warcisław III, and settlers from other parts of the empire started to come.

In 1530 he was sent as deputy for Nuremberg to the diet of Augsburg, where he rendered important assistance to Melanchthon in drawing up the Confession of Augsburg.

Johann Joseph Ignaz von Döllinger - 1890) was a German theologian and church historian. Born at Bamberg, Bavaria, he came of an intellectual family, his grandfather and father having both been eminent physicians and professors of medical science; his mother's family were equally accomplished. Young Döllinger was first educated in the gymnasium at Würzburg, and then began to study natural philosophy at the University of Würzburg, where his father now held a professorship. In 1817 he began the study of mental philosophy and philology, and in 1818 turned to the study of theology, which he believed to lie beneath every other science. He particularly devoted himself to an independent study of ecclesiastical history, a subject very indifferently taught in Roman Catholic Germany at that time. In 1820 he became acquainted with Victor Aimé Huber (1800-1869), a fact.
Johann Friedrich - ), German theologian, was born at Poxdorf in Upper Franconia, and was educated at Bamberg and at Munich, where in 1865 be was appointed professor extraordinary of theology. In 1869 he went to the Vatican Council as secretary to Cardinal Hohenlohe, and took an active part in opposing the dogma of papal infallibility, notably by supplying the opposition bishops with historical and theological material. He left Rome before the council closed. "No German ecclesiastic of his age appears to have won for himself so unusual a repute as a theologian and to have held so important a position, as the trusted counsellor of the leading German cardinal at the Vatican Council. The path was fairly open before him to the highest advancement in the Church of Rome, yet he deliberately sacrificed.
Johannes Junius - Junius (1573- August 6, 1628) was the Burgomeister of Bamberg, famous today for his letter written to his daughter from jail while he awaited execution for witchcraft. Junius became Burgomeister in 1608 and remained in that position until his arrest, which came shortly after his wife had been executed on similar charges. He was implicated in witchcraft by other victims of the witch craze (which was particularly pronounced in Bamberg, where five burgomeisters were burned at the stake), who had been pressured under torture to reveal the names of their accomplices. Court documents describe how Junius at first denied all charges and demanded to confront his witnesses, and continued to deny his involvement in witchcraft after almost a week of torture, which included the application of thumbscrews, leg vises (Beinschrauben), and.

Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor - scene of unrest and rebellion against both Pope and Emperor. Having restored order there, Henry continued to consolidate his rule throughout the Empire. Henry's most significant contributions as emperor come in the realm of Church-State relations and Church administration within the Empire. He took part in church synods, most notably the Synod of Pavia, and his support of the bishops against the regular clergy helped to ensure their allegiance to the Emperor. Henry also founded the diocese of Bamberg in 1007. Henry's interest in the Church had as much to do with piety as with political savvy. He and his wife, Cunigunde of Luxembourg, had no children, reportedly because they had taken a mutual vow of chastity. The Church canonized both Henry (1146) and Cunigunde (1200) after their deaths.

Both plays are printed in Robert Dodsley's Select Collection of Old English Plays (ed. William Hazlitt, vol. viii.). In 1603 Chettle published England's Mourning Garment, in which are included some verses alluding to the chief poets of the time. His.

Albert's rival was George's son-in-law, Rupert, formerly bishop of Freising, and sucessor too of Philip, count palatine of the Rhine. The emperor Maximilian I, interested as archduke of Austria and count of Tirol, interfered in the dispute. Rupert died in 1504, and the following year an arrangement was made at the Diet of Cologne by which the emperor and Philip's grandson, Otto Henry, obtained certain outlying districts, while Albert by securing the bulk of George's possessions united Bavaria under his rule. In 1506 Albert decreed that the duchy should pass according to the rules of primogeniture, and endeavoured in other ways also to consolidate Bavaria..
