Berthold III. (Zähringen)
Berthold III. von Zähringen (* around 1085/1095; † December 3, 1122 near Molsheim in Alsace) was Duke of Zähringen . The Freiburg tradition, according to which Berthold founded Freiburg im Breisgau in 1120 , is very dubious and rather relates to his younger brother Konrad .
Life
Berthold III. took over the reign of his father Berthold II in 1111. He supported Emperor Heinrich V and played a significant role in the Worms Concordat in 1122. Stephan Molitor was able to help when his death date, for which February 19 and May 3 were previously mentioned of a sea book of the Reichenbach monastery that was laid out around 1530 and is now kept in the Royal Library of Copenhagen can identify 3 December 1122. He died a violent death that day in the course of a feud near the town of Molsheim, was transferred to the Zähringische Hauskloster St. Peter near Freiburg and buried there. His brother Konrad followed him.
Berthold III. was married to Sofie von Bayern , a daughter of Heinrich the Black . In Freiburg, the central Bertoldstrasse and the Bertoldsbrunnen are named after him.
