Baldwin comes, in contrast to most of its predecessors, not from Bavaria, but from a noble family from Niederrhein, or
Flanders, and had no personal relationship with Salzburg. Baldwin was consecrated as Archbishop on 25 Oktober
1041. Baldwin was particular on the maintenance of the Bishop's possessions and made, like many of his predecessors,
a "codex traditionum" about the donations that were received made during his reign.
The most significant event of his reign was the gift of the widow of Count Wilhelm, called Hemma, in which at
Baldwins suggestion was given to the Church of St. Mary at Gurk, and built there, and founded a nunnery. Baldwin
died on 8 April 1060.
Obv.: Crowned head of emperor Heinrich III left.
