Peter von Schaumberg

Peter von Schaumberg (Born 22 February 1388 - † 12. April 1469) was from 1424 until his death Bishop of Augsburg

Peter von Schaumberg came from the Thuringian-Franconian noble family von Schaumberg. The starting point of the race is the ancestral castle Schaumburg in southern Thuringia on the border with Bavaria.

After a schismatic election in 1423, Pope Martin V prevailed in 1424 with Peter von Schaumberg, canons of Würzburg and Bamberg. He is considered a peaceful prince who increased the prosperity of the diocese. He held two synods and issued numerous regulations for clergy and monasteries. His goals were to combat the decay of morals and increasing secularization.

Under Pope Martin V he was appointed chamberlain, Eugene IV raised him to cardinal, he apparently received the cardinal's hat on his trip to Rome in 1450 by Pope Nicholas V. Under Pope Paul II, he was a legate for the German area.
