Aribo I. († 1001 / 1020 ) from the House of Aribonen, Graf was in Chiemgau and Leobengau, from 985 Palatine of Bavaria.

The Aribons were one of the most powerful families in Bavaria at the time. They had the counties in the lower Salzburggau and in Isengau , and their possessions extended over Bavaria , Carinthia and Styria .

Aribo was the son (or grandson) of Count Chadalhoch / Kadalhoh in Isengau († 951/53) and, by his marriage to Adala (a cousin of Emperor Henry II ), son in law of Count Palatine Hartwig / Herwicus I († 985). Aribo himself was, according to Emperor Otto III. with the later Emperor Henry II very close blood relatives (note anno 999).

Aribo is first mentioned in documents shortly after 958, as a vassal of Archbishop Frederick I of Salzburg. 972/76 he appears in a barter with Archbishop Friedrich. He was a friend of Emperor Henry II and felt very close to St. Wolfgang of Regensburg .

Aribo was wealthy in the county of Leoben , in Hengistgau and in the Kroatengau in the county Hartwig. He succeeded Hartwig in 985 as Count Palatine, founded 994/999 the monastery Seeon in Chiemgau as a house monastery (formerly Burg Bürgeli). He was able to win for relics of St. Lambert of Liège , who is considered the patron saint .

In 994, Archbishop Hartwig of Salzburg, brother Adalas, and Aribo at Piebing (area of Straubing ) were shipwrecked on the Danube and helped to transport the corpse of Bishop Wolfgang, who had died the day before, to Regensburg.

From 1000 he appears as Vogt of the Salzburg possessions in Lavanttal .

1000/1020 he gave, shortly before his death, with his wife Adala the consent to the founding of Stift Göss by her son, deacon Aribo . Göss, the oldest monastic settlement in Styria , was built on a farm that once gave King Ludwig the Child 904 to the Aribons. The first abbess in 1020 was daughter Kunigunde, and the abbey was handed over to Emperor Heinrich II in 1020 (see Reichsabtei ).
