Hartmann I. (Württemberg)

Hartmann I (* around 1160 ; † around 1240 ) was Count of Württemberg .

The brothers Hartmann I. and Ludwig III. Both called each other at the same time "Graf von Wirtemberg", so that it can be assumed that both administered the county together. Both are sons of Count Ludwig II . Be documented both in King Otto IV. Of Rhenish, Swabian and Franconian palaces . Hartmann accompanied Otto to Rome for his coronation as emperor and is mentioned several times as a witness in the documents drawn up by the emperor in Italy. After the elevation of Friedrich II. Von Staufen to king and emperor, he and his brother turned to the Hohenstaufen: Both stood by Friedrich and his son and fellow-king Heinrich (VII.) In important imperial negotiations.

Hartmann directed his territorial policy towards Upper Swabia by marrying an heir to the Count of Veringen . There he acquired goods that until about the year 1200 in veringischen, afterwards but of Württemberg-grüningischen possession occurred (for example, Altshausen , castle Alt-Veringen itself, rights to Eschach, and the County of eastern Apphagaues ) and Grüningen , according which his son Conrad III of Württemberg calls himself Konrad von Grüningen from 1227 (ego Cunradus dei gratia comes de Gruningen).
