Donor figure of Count Heinrich von Tübingen in the choir stalls of the Blaubeuren monastery

Count Heinrich von Tübingen , Heinrich de Tvingen or Henricus de Tvingen (around 1087 ; † February 28, 1103 ) is considered the son of Count Anselm von Nagold and Bertha and thus a relative of the later Count Palatine of Tübingen . Count Heinrich is one of the founders of the Blaubeuren monastery .

In a donation book of the Reichenbach monastery it is written that on July 22, 1087 Bubo (von Iflingen) donated a property in Gündringen an der Steinach to the monastery. Not only Abbot Wilhelm von Hirsau , Count Adalbert III of Calw, but also Count Heinrich "de Tvingen", in whose county the gift was located, and his brother Hugo , appeared as witnesses . A year later, further property in Gündringen and in the neighboring town of Schietingen was transferred to the monastery under the supervision of the responsible Count Heinrich von Tübingen.

He was married to Adelheid von Enzberg († March 11, 1122), Countess of Tübingen, a daughter of Count Zeisolf in Kraichgau . Together with his wife, he took care of giving the foundation of the Blaubeuren monastery its completion. Heinrich gave for himself, among other things, Berghulen , Hohenhülen , Tragweiler and Winnenden , with his brother Hugo Bremelau , 2 farms near Asch and 2 near Gerhausen . A donation from Anselm von Rotenacker and Heudorf is particularly attributed to Adelheid . She even surpassed her husband in pious zeal to care for the monastery: to crown the foundation, she traveled to Rome and placed the monastery, which her father-in-law had "donated from the ground up" by her husband and brother-in-law, on the altar of the Saint Peter, given it to the papal see as property, and asked for confirmation from the foundation. The Holy Father gladly granted the request of "his beloved daughter".
