Goldkuppe ramparts

Emperor Heinrich V.

In 1123 a Libuze castle , commanded by Heinrich Haupt, was mentioned. According to recent research results, this castle could be identical to Liubusua Castle , as the Slavic ramparts Löbsal and Goldkuppe on the Rauhen ford over the Elbe in Löbsal near Meißen were very likely identified as Liubusua in 2000 . Libuze Castle was built by the then Duke of Saxony and later Emperor Lothar III. It was besieged until (or from) November 30, 1123 , so that Heinrich Haupt was forced to abandon the castle and hand over his son as a hostage .

After Elmar Wadley Heinrich Haupt should have tried beyond the Saale befindliches imperial for Kaiser V. Heinrich secure. After the early death of Margrave Hermann II (1103 – September / October 1123), Heinrich V had poisoned the margravates of Meissen and Lausitz, not his rival Konrad the Great , but Wiprecht von Groitzsch . Thereupon the then Saxon Duke Lothar von Süpplingenburg, with the help of Albrecht the Bear and other Saxon nobles, set Konrad forcibly as margrave in Meissen before November 30, 1123. Before that, in negotiations at Gvozdec Castle on the border with the then Bohemian Gau Nisan (the now desolate Gwosdetz fortification on the 237-meter-high Gohlberg above Constappel - in other opinion the 230-meter-high Niederwartha castle hill ), he had the deduction of the for Wiprecht von Groitzsch gathered Bohemian army. The Bohemians under Vladislav I and Duke Otto von Moravia had devastated the area around Meißen with high losses, but without being able to take Meißen Castle. Vratislav I. had Dohna Castle expanded as a bohemian base in Gau Nisan in 1121 . The troops from Wiprecht von Groitzsch and from Adalbert I von Saarbrücken , Imperial Chancellor Heinrich V and Archbishop of Mainz , had only advanced to the Mulde at this point . Albrecht the Bear was also used forcibly by the Saxon Duke Lothar in December 1123 in Eilenburg as margrave of the margraviate of Lausitz. At this point in time, Emperor Henry V was militarily bound in the west, as his father-in-law Henry I of England had asked him for military support in the struggle for supremacy in Normandy . On May 31, 1125 Heinrich Haupt was listed for the last time in a certificate from Emperor Heinrich for the monastery of St. Jacob in Liège as 1st witness in the section of the imperial ministerials as "Henricus Houvth": "de familia imperatoris: Henricus Houvth, Folmarus, Richardus , Ludouicus et alii multi.
