Heinrich V († October 12, 1161 ) of the Spanheimer family was Duke of Carinthia from 1144 to 1161 and Margrave of Verona from 1144 to 1151.

Live and act

Heinrich V was the eldest son of Duke Ulrich I and Judith , daughter of Margrave Hermann II of Baden .

Heinrich took over the ducal office in 1144 after the death of his father, but had to accept continual setbacks: his great-uncle Count Bernhard von Trixen († 1147) bequeathed his rich allodies and ministerials to the Styrian Margrave Ottokar III. ; In 1151 the margraviate of Verona was released from the personal union with the Carinthian dukes and transferred to Margrave Hermann III. von Baden, an uncle of Heinrich, awarded. In 1158, however, he was entrusted with the bailiwick of Gurk by Bishop Roman I.

As a member of the Staufer party , he traveled a lot on behalf of Friedrich Barbarossa . On his return from one of these missions, Heinrich drowned at the mouth of the Tagliamento . He is buried in the Rosazzo monastery in Friuli . His brother Hermann was his successor in the Carinthian ducal office .

Heinrich was married to Elisabeth, daughter of Margrave Leopold von Steier , widow after Count Rudolf II of Stade's murder († 1144); they had no children.
