Conflict with the Bishop of Munster

Gottschalk endeavored to maintain and further develop the independence of his county from the powerful feudal lords in the west and east, the bishops of Munster and Utrecht. His unabashedly driven territorial policies brought him into conflict with the Bishop of Munster, of the counts of wages with the under Bishop Werner von Steußlingen castle wage built (1132-1151) invested had. Werner's successor Friedrich II von Are forced Gottschalk to make a comparison in 1152. Gottschalk had presumed to hold the office of geographer in the parishes of Lon (with a subsidiary church in Südlohn ), Winterswijk , Aalten , Varsseveld (with Silvolde ), Zelhem and Hengelo, based on what was supposedly his own county rights . Although these parishes were part of the county of Lohn, they were judicially subordinate to the Großer Gogericht zum Homborn , which met at the foot of the mountain range Die Berge between Gemen and Ramsdorf . Gottschalk had also raised a claim to castle wages without renewing his pledge to the bishop who had just been appointed to office. Friedrich appointed Gottschalk as Castellanus for life, who was allowed to continue to reside at Lohn Castle. However, the castle itself has since been an open house of the Münster bishops. Gottschalk was only allowed to exercise jurisdiction on behalf of and on behalf of the bishop. This marked the beginning of the expansion of the principality on the basis of geographic areas. In addition, Gottschalk retained forest jurisdiction over the Liesnerwald north-east of Stadtlohn, which was also assigned to him as a fief. Every year the gentlemen from Lohn were allowed to hunt down two deer, two hinds, a boar and a wild boar.
