Agnes von Landsberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agnes von Landsberg (* 1192/93; † 1266 in Wienhausen ) was the third child of Konrad II. Von Landsberg (1159-1210), Margrave of Lusatia, and his wife, Elisabeth (* around 1153; † 1209), daughter of Mieszko III. (1126–1202), Duke of Poland, and daughter-in-law of Henry the Lion .

Life

Agnes was the youngest daughter of the count family from Landsberg near Halle, after Konrad (before 1207-1210) and Mathilde (around 1190-1225), who married Duke Albrecht II (Brandenburg) . She was married in church to Heinrich I ("the Tall One") of the Palatinate, Count Palatine near Rhine (* 1173; † April 28, 1227 in Braunschweig), son of Heinrich the Lion (second marriage of Heinrich I).

In Ersch and Gruber (1828) says of Agnes and her husband:

When Otto died in 1218 after a restless and changing government in Harzburg without an heir, Heinrich took possession of his lands, handed over the imperial insignia to Friedrich II and retired to Braunschweig, where he decided to spend the rest of his days in peace, also declared in 1223 his brother Wilhelm's only son, Otto the child, the sole heir of all Guelph allodial countries in Saxony and died in 1227. He had 2 daughters and 1 son from his wife Agnes: the latter, Heinrich, the second, the father had already ceded the Palatinate, he died but before him in 1214, it also seems that at this time Frederick II took the palatinate from his father and transferred it to Duke Ludwig, because there are no further documents where he signed himself as a count palatine, or no action where he followed up In 1214 the Palatinate continued to accept; he married his two daughters Agnes to Duke Otto the Illustrious of Bavaria, Irmgard to Margrave Hermann IV of Baden; It is also in doubt whether Gertrud von Braunschweig, who was married to Duke Friedrich von Ostreich, was not a daughter of our Heinrichs. After his beloved Agnes and the son he had produced had died, Heinrich married Agnes for the second time von Landsberg, but there were no children from this marriage.

Duchess Agnes died in 1266 and was buried in Wienhausen.

Foundations

In the area of Nienhagen (district of Celle) , which is still called "Klosterhof" today, a possibly wooden nunnery of the Cistercian order was built on the lower reaches of the Aue between 1217 and 1221. This was a foundation of the duke couple Heinrich I and Agnes von Landsberg. The monastery was "very incommodiret by water mosquitoes and all kinds of poisonous worms" and had "no healthy air because of the swampy ear". The monastery was occupied by Cistercian women from Wöltingerode and, after about ten years of existence, moved to Wienhausen . In 1233 the Hildesheim bishop confirmed the rights of the monastery ( Wienhausen monastery ).

The former Cistercian convent Isenhagen was founded in 1243 by Agnes von Landsberg, initially as a monastery.

Domus Ottonis - Ottenhaus

Duke Otto I gave the child to his aunt Agnes von Landsberg a house, called "Domus Ottonis" (Otto's house), together with lands and forests in the city of Celle in a documented 1243 with the authorization to leave it to the Wienhausen monastery. The document specifies the donation: "A house, called Ottenhauß, which is located in the mark belonging to the cell, with all uses and accessories that have been known to have belonged to such a house from ancient times".

Ottenhaus was probably founded as a hunting lodge or lodging house for Duke Otto, while his aunt still lived in the castle in Altencelle . After Agnes death, the farm came into the possession of the Wienhausen monastery as an aristocratic free, office-based Sattelhof, which the tenants managed.
