Adalbert von Mörsberg
Adalbert II. Count von Mörsberg (* around 1070 ; † between 1124 and August 30, 1125 ) was Vogt of the All Saints monasteries in Schaffhausen and Schwabenheim near Bad Kreuznach , Count von Dill (Hunsrück) and Mörsberg (Alsace) and owner of the Mörsburg near Winterthur (1111).
Adalbert was born around 1070 as the son of Eberhard VII von Nellenburg . One of his uncles was Archbishop of Trier , another abbot in Reichenau Monastery .
After the early death of his father in 1075 in the Saxon War of Henry IV , he took over between 1096 and 1098, while his uncle Burchard III was still alive . , the ruling Count of Nellenburg , from this the office of monastery bailiff for the monasteries of the Nellenburgers, in which he acquired a bad reputation towards the monks due to unlawful use of monastery property and brutality. Documents prove the efforts of his relatives to repair the damage.
By marrying Mechthild von Bar-Mömpelgard , daughter of Dietrich I, Count von Mousson, Bar, Altkirch and Pfirt from the house of Scarponnois and Ermentrude of Burgundy , heiress of the County of Mömpelgard , he came into possession after the death of his father-in-law in 1105 of Mörsberg Castle near Pfirt in Alsace and held the title of Count of Morisberk, which was not documented before and after him .
When his uncle died in 1105/1106 without male descendants, his older brother Dietrich received ancestral castle and the title of Count von Nellenburg, he himself had a considerable share of the ownership (for example, Dill Castle in Hunsrück with Schwabenheim Monastery near Kreuznach, property in Sponheim , Hamm ( Eifel) , Kastellaun ,) and the fiefdom (Reichsgut Kreuznach with Böckelheim Castle ) of the Nellenburger. In 1107 he is documented as Count von Dill. The Mörsburg near Winterthur got its name from him. Burg Dill and Mörsburg seem to have been considerably expanded or even built in the first place.
His cousin Bruno von Bretten was Archbishop of Trier from 1102-1124.
He married his daughter Mechthild von Mörsberg († March 12, 1152/80) to Meginhard von Sponheim (* around 1085; † around 1135). This act was of great importance as it passed the title of count and considerable property to Meginhard and the establishment of the county of Sponheim came about .
