Friedrich von Hückeswagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich von Hückeswagen (lived around 1138) was Count von Hückeswagen .

He is the first who can be clearly named as a count based on a document from 1138 - here the Archbishop of Cologne, Arnold, appears as a witness. Further details from his life are not known. Only two so-called ban mills from the 12th century are documented. In this case, Bannmühle means that grain that was harvested in the county of Hückeswagen had to be ground in the Bannmühlen for a fee. One of the mills was located near Hückeswagen Castle, today Hückeswagen Castle . These spell mills were owned by the count.

A successor is mentioned in a document from the year 1189. A Count Heinrich von Hückeswagen is mentioned . It also remains unclear whether Friedrich was Heinrich's father.
