Hasso (II) from Wedel-Uchtenhagen

Hasso (II) von Wedel-Uchtenhagen (around 1370) was a Vogt of Neumark .

Hasso von Wedel , who was already a margrave bailiff at the time, was first mentioned in 1370 when he acquired the town of Reetz together with his brothers Wedigo and Titze . In late autumn of the same year he conquered from there in temporal connection with the death of the Polish king Casimir III. On his own initiative the border fortress of Zantoch , which Kasimir himself only came into possession of in 1365 through the reorientation of the tenants there. Since Margrave Otto could not reimburse him for the siege costs, Zantoch was left to him as a feudal property. Even before 1400, however, the place was pledged to the Order of St. John by Margrave Sigismund .

After he was mentioned again as Vogt of Neumark in 1371, Wedel led between 1371 and 1373 the last unsuccessful resistance of Margrave Otto against the attacks of Emperor Charles IV and the dukes of Pomerania and Mecklenburg, allied with him, who aimed at the Wittelsbacher in favor of the Luxembourgers from the market. After the triumph of the emperor, Wedel was authorized in the Treaty of Fürstenwalde on August 28, 1373 to take the measures necessary for the transfer of the mark to the Luxembourgers.

As one of the last representatives of his family, he appeared again as Vogt of Neumark in 1375 and 1376. He was the eldest son of his father of the same name, Hasso (I) von Wedel-Uchtenhagen .
