Ulrich II (died 31 October 1221) was the 34th Bishop of Passau from 1215 and the first prince-bishop from 1217. The Bischof-Ulrich-Straße in Passau is named after him.
On 21 January 1217 Ulrich was given Ilzgau by the Emperor Frederick II to hold as a banner-fief. Thus, the Emperor made him the first Prince-Bishop of the Bishopric of Passau. Ulrich II and his successors were thus henceforth rich princes ex officio. At the end of June, 1217, Bishop Ulrich inaugurated in a large feast day the first four altars of Lilienfeld Abbey.[1] In 1219, Ulrich II allowed himself to erect on Georgsberg a castle, the Veste Oberhaus. He also founded several monasteries in the eastern part of the diocese.
