Johann II. (Sponheim-Starkenburg)
Count Johann II. Von Sponheim (* between 1265 and 1270; † February 22 or March 29, 1324 ) zu Starkenburg came from the noble family of Sponheim and ruled the rear county of Sponheim for 35 years from 1289 to 1324.
Life
Johann II von Sponheim married Katharina von Ochsenstein (niece of King Rudolf von Habsburg). A previously suspected marriage with a Katharina von Vianden has now been refuted. Johann was part of Henry VII and was thus in opposition to the front county of Sponheim. He took part in the Rome train and is shown as a participant in the illustrated chronicle . He becomes a citizen of the city of Trier through a letter dated 1305 , which, on the other hand, undertakes to pay him an annual fee of 100 pfennigs. Count Johann II of Sponheim-Starkenburg appears in documents from 1309 and 1310 as governor . Confirmation of all the privileges that King Heinrich and other imperial ancestors had bestowed upon him was granted by Emperor Ludwig in 1314; in the same year he was appointed by Elector Baldwin of Trier as the highest bailiff of the Trierische Lande, located between the Moselle and the Rhine . Johann II was buried in the Himmerod monastery.
