Hasso von Wedel-Polzin

Hasso von Wedel-Polzin (Hasso the Red, Hasso von Wedel-Hochzeit; † 1353 ) was a Vogt in the Neumark.

Life

First mentioned in 1337 as a co-owner of the castle and town of Polzin , Hasso von Wedel -Polzin was appointed eleven years later, on October 27, 1348, together with Hasso the Elder and Hasso von Wedel-Falkenburg by Margrave Ludwig to be the governor of a district bailiwick in northern Neumark . The towns of Arnswalde, Reetz, Dramburg, Nörenberg and Kallies were instructed to obey the three governors. Vogt of the district bailiwick in the southern Neumark, bounded by the Warta and nets against the Land Sternberg, was at the same time Betekin von der Osten . These appointments were in connection with the inner Brandenburg war against the False Woldemar , in which the Wittelsbach margraves were initially able to rely almost exclusively on the Neumark nobility to regain their land, which had been almost completely lost to the followers of Woldemar in 1348. In 1349 Wedel fought on the side of the margrave in the battle of Oderberg .

In March 1350, the year of the plague, he founded, "seized by the Holy Spirit", the construction of a chapel with four altars "for his own salvation and that of his ancestors". He endowed it with the Großer Lübbesee , the island lying in it and all associated income. In December 1350, apparently in recognition of his services in the fight against the followers of False Waldemar, he was enfeoffed by the margrave with the castle and town of Hochzeit an der Drage, the only access to Neumark apart from Zantoch from the north . The loan included the authorization to build a new castle and extended to large areas on both sides of the Drage. In the east of the river, the area bounded by the Netze in the south extended to a line running between Schloppe and Filehne .

Wedel owes his inclusion in figure group no. 11 on Berlin's Siegesallee under the name "Hasso the Red" to a mix-up with Hofmeister Hasso von Wedel-Falkenburg .
