Friedrich was a son of Count Gumprecht II von Neuenahr (* around 1400; † March 9, 1484) and his wife Margarethe von Limburg-Broich († 1479).

In 1442 he and his father received from King Friedrich III. the privilege of being able to “call and write Count von und zu Neunar”, although the family had long since lost their ancestral castle and their ancestral home in the county of Neuenahr .

Life

In 1449 Friedrich was nominated as Cologne canon; the certificate of nobility for him issued on his father's side Gerhard von Jülich-Berg , Gerhard von Kleve-Mark , Ruprecht VI. von Virneburg and Neuenahr-Saffenberg († 1459), Wilhelm I. von Limburg-Bedburg and Wilhelm II. von Wied-Braunsberg-Isenburg († 1462), on the maternal side the bishop of Münster Heinrich II. von Moers , Dietrich von Sayn ( 1416–1452), Vinzenz von Moers-Saar Werden (1414–1499) and Georg von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Homburg (* around 1400; † 1472). In 1451 he received canonicals in Cologne, Liège and Utrecht with papal dispensation at the age of 12 despite his youth. From 1452 to 1459, after presentation by Duke Gerhard von Jülich-Berg, he held the post of provost of the Marienstift Aachen . In Aachen and Liège he followed Count Gerhard II von Sayn († 1493), who had married.

In 1453, "D [ominus] Fredericus filius D [omi] ni de Newenar Can [onicus] major [is] Ecclesiae Colon [iensis] ac Praepositus Aquensis" (= "Herr Friedrich, son of Herr von Neuenahr, canon of Cologne Cathedral and Aachener Propst ”) together with his brother Johann at the old University of Cologne ( Universitas Studii Coloniensis ). In the same year Gabriel Biel enrolled there .

Friedrich ceded the Aachen provost in 1459 to his brother Johann von Neuenahr († 1466). In May 1460, "the jonge Nuwenar" (Friedrich) and his father Gumprecht II von Neuenahr took part in the tribute day of Electen Electen and later Archbishop Johann II von Baden (1434-1503) in Trier .

In 1461 he married Eva von Linnep and on the basis of the marriage contract received from her the rule of Linnep and Helpenstein, from his father Alpen. In 1462 Friedrich von Neuenahr was enfeoffed by Archbishop Dietrich II of Moers († 1463) with the two Cologne dominions of the Alps and Helpenstein and in 1465 by Provost Salentin of Isenburg with the tithe of Lintorf . In a feud between Johann Kytz von Vlysteden and the St. Kunibert Abbey in Cologne, Friedrich acted as an arbitrator, but his award was not followed.

In 1467, young count Friedrich von Neuenahr and Frederik van Egmond (around 1440–1521), Count zu Büren and Leerdam, his cousin Adolf von Egmond (1438–1477), the Duke of Geldern , decided to announce the feud. The electoral Cologne bailiff to Liedberg ( Leedtberg ) and Hülchrath , Nikolaus (Claes) Scheiffart vamme Rode († shortly after 1467) was captured by Friedrich. In January 1468, Canon Count Stephan von Pfalz-Simmern near Rhine (1421–1485) and Count Wilhelm von Virneburg-Saffenberg († 1474) mediated in a feud between Friedrich von Neuenahr and Count Vincent von Moers-Saarbaren. On June 23, 1468 Friedrich fell at Wachtendonk in the run-up to the Battle of Straelen , during which the troops of Adolf von Geldern-Egmond defeated the army of Johann I von Kleve and Mark :

“ Deser joncher Frederich was shot in the Cleefscher ved against the Gelresschen vur Wachtendonck with eynre loitbussen (= lead gun) up s. Johans avent (= June 23). "
