Heinrich I of Wildenburg
Heinrich I von Wildenburg was elective abbot of the monasteries Werden and Helmstedt from 1288 to 1310 .
As can be seen from a document from 1307 stored in the State Archives in Koblenz, Heinrich I von Wildenburg, together with his wife Elsbeth and his two sons Johann and Diederich, transferred the house and the castle of Wildenburg to the Count von Sayn zu Lehen in 1307 . The Counts of Sayn already exercised jurisdiction in Wildenburg earlier. In 1339 Johann von Wildenburg declared Wildenburg to be an open house of the Archbishopric of Trier . In 1418 the Wildenburg family died out with Hermann von Wildenburg in the male line. His sister Jutta had been married to a knight Johann von Hatzfeldt since 1387 (whose ancestral castle Hatzfeldt can still be found as a ruin near the village of the same name). After long disputes with the Count von Sayn, Gothardt der Rauhe, Jutta's son, inherited Wildenburg Castle and the Friesenhagen parish .
Heinrich I von Wildenburg (died before 1315) was married to Elisabeth von Limburg.
