Hermann II (Lippe)
Hermann II zur Lippe (* 1175 in Lippe (today Lippstadt ), † December 25, 1229 ) was the sovereign of the Lippe rule .
Life
Hermann II zur Lippe (in the sources: "de Lippe") was the eldest son of the nobleman Bernhard II zur Lippe and Heilwig von Are-Hostaden , daughter of Count Otto I von Are-Hostaden .
He was co-regent of his father and succeeded him in 1196 as regent of the house of Lippe . Less warlike than his father and brother, he often tried to act as a mediator in his area. In the war of the German throne in 1198, Hermann was on the Guelph side and only passed to King Friedrich II in 1214 . He probably belonged with others to the Great Knight Society of Otto IV (r. 1198–1218), which is why his coat of arms (here the Lipper rose for the first time) also appears on the Quedlinburg box of this emperor.
1217/18 Hermann was for the brother Otto II. , Bishop of Utrecht , Stiftsverweser in Utrecht, promoted the city and won the bailiwicks Clarholz and Herzebrock it. A particular opponent of Hermann was the expanding Archbishop of Berg-Köln Engelbert I of Cologne , although Hermann had previously been his close follower. In 1227 Hermann took part in the battle of Bornhöved against Denmark . He later supported his brother Gebhard II , Archbishop of Bremen , in a feud against the Stedinger farmers. As the leader of an archiepiscopal army, he was killed on December 25, 1229 in the battle of Hasbergen .
