Anselm von Nagoldgau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anselm von Nagoldgau (around 966) is the oldest recorded Nagoldgau count.

Live and act

The documentary news from him is owed to the coincidental circumstance that Emperor Otto I confirmed the donation of a property in 966, the donation in Nagoldgau, in the county of an Anselm, in the village of Kuppingen. Then followed another Anselm , which occurs in the years 1027 and 1048th Between the two Anselmen, who are the only known counts named after the Nagoldgau, a Count Hugo appears in 1007, probably from the same family, with the town of Holzgerlingen assigned to his Gau Glehuntare , and this opens the series of the since the last quarter of the 11th century Hugos, Counts and Count Palatine of Tübingen .

marriage

He married the daughter of Werner V and Hicha around 950 . This daughter was the great-granddaughter of Hunfridinger Burchard I. The grandfather of Anselm von Nagoldgau, who was also called Anselm, had obtained and carried out an unjust death sentence against Burchard I in 911. At that time Anselm prevented the Burchardinger from reaching for the ducal power in Swabia, or at least delayed it for the moment. According to the later tradition, he was considered to be Burchard's murderer. But the marriage was the sign of a reconciliation between the two houses.

Häseltrog legend

In the Häseltrog legend it is reported how Count Anselm von Nagold guided the Emperor Otto I , who was returning from Italy to Germany, and his wife Adelheid through his official parish. In the morning the tour company crossed the Neckar in the Tälinsfurt and arrived at the King's estate in Holzgerlingen at noon. The emperor was pleased with Count Anselm's clever way in which he undertook his duty of escort. At Böblingen - Hulb the Empress became tired and wanted to rest. She fell into a gentle slumber and dreamed of a fair, which she told her husband about, who got the idea of ​​what kind of favor he wanted to do to Count Anselm. On the mountain in front of the village of Ihingen , Count Anselm said goodbye on the border of his county. There the emperor granted him the right to hold a fair on the meadow that Adelheid had seen in a dream, on the king's free and open road. When his wife described the place she had dreamed of, Count Anselm knew that this could only be the place Mauren near Ehningen in Schönbuch . It was then held annually for three days in memory of the emperor. Count Anselm raised a weighty market duty and thought gratefully for the gentleness of his noble emperor and lord. It is unclear whether the once famous Mauren “Bolaimarkt” (after the church saint St. Pelagius ) was actually founded in the 10th century.
