Konrad von Gützkow

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konrad von Gützkow († after February 21, 1284 ), also Konrad I , was a count of Gützkow .

Life

Count Konrad von Gützkow was a son of Count Jaczo I. von Gützkow and his wife, unknown by name, who, according to widespread literature , is equated with Dobroslawa von Pomerania , less often with Dobroslawa von Schlawe or a daughter of one of the two. Count Johann I von Gützkow , was his older brother.

Before him, his great-uncle Konrad I von Salzwedel, 1161–1186 as Konrad I, Bishop of Cammin and his uncle Konrad II. Von Salzwedel , 1233–1241 as Konrad III. Bishop of Cammin, same first name. Since some historians, or at least authors, mention another Count Konrad II von Gützkow, he was depicted in research as Count Konrad I von Gützkow to distinguish it from the relationship.

In June 1249, Johann compared himself to the Eldena monastery across the border of the forest between Eldena and Gützkow, whereby his brother Konrad acted as a witness for him and the mother of the two also sealed the document, perhaps because both were still underage. On December 19, 1256 he and his brother claimed the tithe on the Liepe peninsula from the Usedom Monastery and are negotiating with Bishop Hermann von Cammin . In the same matter, since no result was achieved in 1256, Konrad appeared together with his brother Johann for the last time on March 12, 1257. The claims of the counts were then rejected.

As Conradus domicellus de Gutzkow , so probably Mr. zu Gützkow, Konrad was mentioned in a document of Duke Barnim I , concerning the town of Gartz an der Oder on May 7, 1259. On August 23, 1269, Duke Barnim I in Stettin approved the sale of land in the Ziethen region to the church in Lübeck . Konrad was the first to appear among the secular witnesses. On August 2, 1270 Conradus Comes de Guzscowe fathered goods as Barnim I to the Eldena monastery in Vierow . This was the first documentary use of the title of count for a member of the Gützkow family (an alleged document from 1249, in which an unnamed Count von Gützkow appears, was recognized as false). Two more times Konrad appeared for the Duke as a documentary witness in August 1270. First in a matter concerning the city of Greifswald and then on the occasion of a ducal donation to the Buckow monastery . On May 29, 1271 Konrad testified in a ducal donation to the Ivenack monastery . The last time Konrad acted as a documentary witness for Duke Barnim I was on October 14, 1273 when he was granted duty exemption in Wolgast for the landing of herring .

During the reign of Count Konrad, the Gützkow county was also granted monetary justice. In the 1937 coin find by Karrin there were 47 bracteates with the coin image of the Counts of Gützkow, their coat of arms. The dating of the find was set around 1270.

In 1275 Konrad testified that two hooves were given to Dietrichshagen by the two knights Harnid the Younger and Harnid the Elder von Behr to the Eldena monastery.

In 1279 Konrad appeared twice as a documentary witness for the dowager Mechthild von Pomerania . On January 15, he testified in Anklam for her that the deceased Duke had donated it to Verchen Monastery, and a little later he was a witness when she confirmed the privileges granted by her husband to the city of Gartz.

Konrad testified five times in the years 1281–1282 for Duke Bogislaw IV. Matters concerning the Eldena monastery. In a document issued on October 13, 1283 in Usedom , Count Konrad von Gützkow and Count Nicolaus von Spiegelberg were designated by Duke Bogislaw as consanguinei nostri (his cousins). In 1284 Konrad first appeared as a witness for Bogislaw in a customs matter relating to Anklams, and then on February 21st as Conradus, comes de Gutzekow , on the occasion of the sale of the village Dargelin to the city of Greifswald by the Duke, which he had previously acquired from the Behr to be mentioned for the last time in a document.

family

Historians have variously ascribed children to Count Konrad von Gützkow from his marriage to a daughter of Prince Nikolaus I von Werle and Jutta von Anhalt who was unknown by name .

For Rymar and Schwennicke , Counts Johann II von Gützkow († after 1314) and Nikolaus von Gützkow († 1322) are the undisputed sons of Konrad. In the previous history of research, however, there have been many different views on this classification. So Johann II was also expelled as the son of Jaczo II and the Cecislawa von Putbus . Nikolaus, however, was initially also the son of Jaczo III. and a presumed daughter of Prince Johann I von Werle , but later also as the son of Jaczo II and Cecislawa , whereby it was admitted that there was at least one other possibility for filiation-related involvement, the illustration of which was unfortunately lost as a war loss and thus possibly does not contradict Rymar / Schwennicke.

At Pyl , Count Verenbert von Gützkow , originally an indisputable son of Konrad in 1284 and 1300.

Following a statement by Elzow in his well-known “Adelsspiegel”, Heinrich von Massow († after 1286) (...) is said to have married one of Gotzkowen zu Gotzkow's daughters in the area near Stolpe and [has] the six as the only heiress Villages (...) Bartin , Brünnow, Woblanse , Derselitz, Wusseken and Barvin, received as a bride's treasure (...). Documentary information about her is completely lacking. The actual property ownership of the Counts of Gützkow in Western Pomerania also remains in the dark. The connection of the alleged daughter to Konrad, as she is preferred by Massow in the family history, lacks documentary evidence, and moreover must even be viewed as very questionable as regards the identification of a daughter as the only heiress . Nevertheless, the marriage and the inheritance of the goods are reproduced in a slightly modified form elsewhere. For the year 1285 mentioned there, there is indeed the documentary mention of Hinricus de Massow , but only as a documentary witness, in no way for the marriage or entry into the mentioned goods.

Even Barbara from Gützkow († around 1326), which from 1302 to 1326 as abbess in Krummin has been, could be classified temporally as the daughter of Conrad or viewed. However, there are no documented reports about her.
