Heinrich von Oldenburg-Bruchhausen
Heinrich Graf von Oldenburg-Bruchhausen also Heinrich V. Graf von Oldenburg-Wildeshausen and Bruchhausen (* before 1232 , † after 1270 ) was from 1241 count of Bruchhausen and from about 1259 count of Neubruchhausen. He came from the Wildeshausener branch of the House of Oldenburg .
Life
His parents were Heinrich III, who died in the Stedinger War in 1234 . von Oldenburg-Wildeshausen and Ermtrud (also Ermintrudis) von Schoten-Breda (de Schodis) , daughter of Count Heinrich II. von Breda.
As long as he and his younger brothers were minors, their cousin, Heinrich IV. Von Oldenburg-Wildeshausen (the Bogener) , obviously acted as their guardian. In 1241 the sons of Heinrich III. first time self-employed. Since 1249 Heinrich has also called himself "iunior" several times to differentiate himself from the Wildeshauser cousin.
He and his brother Ludolf (attested from 1241 to 1278) concentrated on exercising their rights of ownership and rule over the county of Bruchhausen. This was between 1220 and 1233, apparently 1227 or 1228, by the brothers Heinrich III. and Burchard von Oldenburg-Wildeshausen († 1233) were transferred to the Archbishop of Bremen Gerhard II and were subsequently received back as a fief . As the eldest descendant, Heinrich was Count von Bruchhausen, but performed his rulership functions largely together with his younger brother Ludolf. For a long time they lived together in Altbruchhausen Castle and in 1257 issued a document stating "in Castro nostro Brochusen". Around 1259 the rule was then divided between the brothers. Heinrich became Count of Neubruchhausen , Ludolf received Altbruchhausen. Around 1260 Heinrich moved accordingly to the Neubruchhausen Castle that he had built.
The line of the Counts of Altbruchhausen died out with Count Otto († after 1298). The line of the Counts of Neubruchhausen also died out in the 14th century and Neubruchhausen, like Altbruchhausen before, fell to the Counts of Hoya .
marriage
Heinrich was married to Ermgard, daughter of Count Heinrich II. Von Hoya . They founded the Neubruchhauser line of the House of Oldenburg.
