Description

This coin was issued under
Bishop Heinrich II
von Rotteneck (1277-1296) in Imperial City of
Regensburg
in Bavaria
in
1290-1296
.
Regensburg
is a city in eastern Bavaria, at the confluence of
the Danube
, Naab and Regen rivers.  It is capital of the Upper Palatinate subregion of the state
in the south of Germany.  With more than 150,000 inhabitants, Regensburg is the
fourth-largest city
in the State of Bavaria.
In
1245
Regensburg became a
Free Imperial City
and was a
trade center
before the shifting of trade routes in the late Middle Ages.  In
1486
,
Regensburg became part of
Duchy of Bavaria
, but its independence was
restored
by the Holy Roman Empire ten years later.
Heirich II von Rotteneck
was
prince-bishop
of Regensburg from 1277 to 1296 (he died in August 1296).  He became bishop of Regensburg in
1277
.
The
Regensburg Cathedral
had been damaged in a great fire in
1273
, and many of its treasures had been lost.  On 21 August 1279, he sold the
Rottenegg castle and possessions including the Mainburg castle
to obtain funds for rebuilding his cathedral
.  As well as promoting construction of
the new Gothic cathedral, he donated many devices and vestments.   He died in August
1296
.
