Adelheid von Ochsenstein († May 17, 1314 ) was the wife of the Margrave of Baden Rudolf II. She was the daughter of Otto III. von Ochsenstein and the Kunigunde von Habsburg , a sister of the later King Rudolf I.

Adelheid von Ochsenstein's first marriage was to Count Berthold II von Strassberg († before 1285). From this marriage there were three sons and two daughters:

• Otto (exp. 1299; died November 1315), Count von Strassberg, Landgrave of Aarburgund ⚭ before 1300 Countess Margarete von Freiburg, heiress of the Badenweiler rule
• Berthold III.
• Ludwig (exp. 1288; died December 2, 1343), clergyman
• Gertrud (died March 27, 1327) ⚭ 1) Rudolf II of Neuchâtel-Nidau ​​(adult 1255; died 1308 or 1309), Count of Neuchâtel, Lord of Nidau; ⚭ 2) Margrave Rudolf III. of Baden (died 1332)
• Adelheid ⚭ before 1321 Walter von Horburg (exp. 1321; d. 1328/1329)

On May 2, 1285, Adelheid married Rudolf II of Baden for the second time . On this occasion, King Rudolf I prescribed his niece Adelheid 1,000 silver marks and a "good" in Eppingen for her marriage property . After her husband's death in 1295, she took up her widow's residence in Eppingen and was the city mistress there until her death in 1314. In the deed of August 12, 1303, issued by King Albrecht I , at the request of Frau von Ochsenstein, the council and all citizens of Eppingen were granted those freedoms and rights that corresponded to Heilbronn city law at that time.
