Johann II. (Gützkow)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann II von Gützkow († after 1314 ) was a count of Gützkow .

Research history

The differentiation of the individual Gützkow counts with the name Johann is just as difficult as it was the case with his relatives Jaczo . From the original assumption that there are four Gützkower Count Jaczo of the same name, the research could be reduced to three or two people. With the Gützkower Count Johann , Theodor Pyl assumed five of the same name, Roderich Schmidt only mentioned three in his brief treatise, while Detlev Schwennicke assumed that six counts Johann von Gützkow could be distinguished. In addition, the Burgmannen von Wieck before Gützkow at least apparently had a relative Johann von Gützkow , who appeared at the same time in a document.

It is certain and undisputed that Johann II von Gützkow († after 1314) was named until 1314 , after he appeared several times together with Jaczo II von Gützkow († after 1303).

Documented appearance

When the village of Kleeth was donated to the Reinfeld monastery by Duke Bogislaw IV on April 7, 1290, Counts Johann II von Gützkow ( Johannes domicellus de Guthzecowe ) and Jaczo II ( Jakzo comes de Gutzecowe ) appeared in Treptow as documentary witnesses.

After all, nobilis vir dominus Jaczo comes de Gutzekow was the first representative of the negotiating commission and witness of the ducal division of the country into the duchies of Pomerania-Stettin and Pomerania-Wolgast on July 1, 1295. Here he appeared in the second document together with Count Johann II von Gützkow ( nobiles viri Jaczo et Johannes, comites de Guzekowe ) as the only witness.

On August 11, 1296, dominus Johannes comes de Guszekowe appeared as a documentary witness for Duke Otto I in Stettin .

When Duke Otto I in Stettin decided on March 19, 1297 that the city of Alt-Damm should return from Lübischen to Magdeburg law , Johannes comes de Gutzkow was again a documentary witness. In a document dated June 18, 1297, issued in Greifenberg , concerning matters relating to the knight Johann von Heydebreck , comes Jakch de Gutsecowe was once again named first and comes Johannes de Gutsecowe seventh among the document witnesses. When negotiating ownership claims by Szczecin citizens before the duke on October 1, 1297, Johann II was appointed as his representative and was also referred to as a relative ( consanguineo ) by the duke on this occasion .

When Duke Otto I transferred his ownership of the village of Luckow to the Marienkirche in Stettin on March 30, 1698 , Johannes nobilis comes de Guzkowe was his first documentary witness even before the clergy. On April 13, 1298, Jaczko et Johannes, domini Guzkowenses, after mediation by Abbot Heinrich zu Eldena and Knight Heinrich von Behr renounced their possessions in the Lieper Winkel in favor of the Usedom Monastery . It was on the one hand on an earlier hearing in Schlatkow on September 6, 1297 and on the other hand on Bishop Conrad III. referred by Cammin , who had assigned the Gützkower counts the lands in Lieper Winkel. Once again in 1297, on May 27, Johannes nobilis comes de Guskowe testified for Duke Otto I when he committed himself to church patronage on the Lastadie .

When Duke Otto I transferred the village of Sommersdorf to the nunnery Verchen on September 15, 1299, Johannes nobilis comes de Gutzekow was a documentary witness, the same as dominus Johannes comes de Gutzecowe in the same year when the Stolpe monastery received the village of Sarnow from the duke .

On January 9, 1300, Duke Otto I confirmed that the Pudagla Monastery in Ueckermünde had cut wood in the heath around Mönkebude . The document witness was Johannes nobilis comes de Guzkowe . In a document relating to the Wollin nunnery , Duke Bogislaw IV named the Count of Gützkow who testified for him on the occasion, his cousins ​​( nostro consanguineo comite de Gutzkowe ).

From the year 1302 three documentary mentions are known. On May 21, Duke Bogislaw IV in Wolgast gave property to the Wollin nunnery in the Bukow region; Johannes de Gutzecowe nobilis was among the witnesses . For Duke Otto I, he attested a certificate issued in Treptow an der Tollense on June 28th as nobilis vir dominus Johannes comes de Gutsecow when he awarded the village of Weitendorf to the Ivenack monastery . After all, Johannes dominus Guzkowensis was once again among the documentary witnesses this year when Knight Wulfold von Below sold his villages Kröslin , Vencemin and Freest to the Eldena Monastery on December 7th in Eldena .

Also in 1305 Johann II was known twice in documents. On March 6th, domini Johannis, comitis de Guthsecow was 1st witness when the five brothers and miners Fretekow renounced claims to the Loccum monastery . On March 7, Johannes comes de Guscowensis appeared as arbitrator between the Eldena monastery and the squires Siegfried, Wolf and Gote Blixen because of disputed possessions in Rappenhagen and Dersekow .

After a comparison between Prince Heinrich of Mecklenburg and Duke Otto I of Pomerania-Stettin because of the castle of Kogel and other castles built on the border between the von Putzar and the Counts of Gützkow, on March 19, 1306 in Dargun all vassals , also the van Gutzikkowe , asked to rest and to dismantle their fortifications. In the same year, on December 20, Duke Bogislaw IV transferred customs and ungeld at the port of Regamünde to the Rega in Wollin, the city of Treptow, and was also responsible for guarding the city. Dominus Johannes comes in Guthcecowe was named among the document witnesses .

When the Margraves Otto , Hermann and Waldemar von Brandenburg vowed in Werbellin on September 6th 1307 that the agreed peace conditions for the release of Count Nikolaus von Schwerin and because of the disputes with Prince Nikolaus II von Werle on September 17th in Friedrichsdorf are to be carried out Also part of the agreement that the van Gutzekowe , who had suffered damage during the previous dispute, should receive reparation.

On December 14, 1311, Duke Heinrich II of Mecklenburg named Count Johann II von Gützkow in a document where he also appeared as the 1st witness, his cousin ( cognatus noster dominus Johannes comes de Gutzekow ).

On July 19, 1313, Johannes comes in Guzekowe approved the sale of the village of Pätschow by Bishop Burchard of Lübeck to the Stolpe monastery.

In the Treaty of Templin, Margrave Waldemar von Brandenburg entered on December 9, 1314, as atonement, the claims to Land Loitz , which was mentioned in 1194, 1219 and also 1249 as belonging to the Gützkow rule, to Prince Wizlaw III. von Rügen against payment of 2,000 marks of soldered silver. The document was attested in the order of Duke Wartislaw IV., Count Bernhard von Anhalt , Count Nikolaus von Schwerin, Duke Heinrich von Mecklenburg , Prince Johann von Werle and Count Johann II. Von Gützkow ( greff Johan von Gudskov ). On the same day, also in Templin , Wizlaw III compared himself. von Rügen and Waldemar von Brandenburg because of the city of Stralsund . As the first witness stepped greff Johan van Gotskov on. He was likely to have died a little later, as no further news from Count Johann II. Von Gützkow is known.

family

The family involvement of Johann II in the filiation of the Counts of Gützkow was also interpreted differently. While it was initially assumed that he was a son of Jaczo II, more recent works show that he was the first son of Konrad von Gützkow and older brother of Nikolaus von Gützkow . At least the first representation can be excluded insofar as Bernhard von Gützkow , who is seen by the majority as the son of Count Jaczo II , had no brother.

However, the earlier view of Johann II. Was married to a Margaretha , daughter of Duke Barnim I , could be effectively dispelled. Instead, Schwennicke puts an unknown daughter of Arnold von Schönfeld as his wife to Johann II . The marriage is said to have been concluded around 1288/1292. This should be identical with the knight Arnold von Schönfeld , whose wife was named Beatrix in 1293 and for whom Johannes de Gutcekowe appeared as a witness in 1292/1293. Since Johannes de Gutscecowe is also referred to as the squire of the knight Arnold von Schönfeld , it can be assumed as above that this is not Count Johann II von Gützkow , but his ministerial of the same name .

However, there is agreement on the expulsion of Johann III. or the elder and Johann (Henning) IV. or the younger as his sons. There is also agreement that one of the two brothers died at the beginning of 1334 from the wounds he received in the battle at Kremmer Damm and that one of them, possibly the same, with Mechthild , a daughter of Gunzelin VI. von Schwerin was married.
