Adelaide II of Büren


Adelaide II of Büren was the abbess of Gernrode Abbey.

Life

Adelaide II was a member of the von Büren dynasty, a noble family which owned property in Büren, Wünnenberg and Wewelsburg.
Adelaide was probably elected abbess of Gernrode abbey in early 1207. She is named as abbess in a papal diploma issued in August 1207.
During her time as abbess, there was conflict about the appointment of a seneschal between two Ministeriales of the abbey: the brothers Arnold and Frederick of Gernrode. The conflict was settled by Bishop Frederick of Halberstadt on 10 August 1220.
Adelaide died on 3 November, probably 1220.
