List of the Mecklenburg dukes and grand dukes
The first mentioned ruler in the Mecklenburg region is Witzan , a warlord of the Obotrites, who signed a treaty with Charlemagne in 780 and conquered Svarin (Schwerin) with the help of the Franks. With this he established a dynasty of Slavic velvet rulers , legalized by the Frankish king. From the Frankish point of view, the Obotrites are vassals to which the Frankish king subordinates all Slavs on the Baltic Sea. According to the treaty, these are all the tribes east of the Limes Saxoniae , i.e. Ranen, Wilzen, Polaben, Liutizen, Danes, Northern Albingia and Wangria, most of which are subjugated with plenty of Frankish support.
overview
The Franconian chroniclers alternately call the velvet rulers reguli (Latin: the ruling), duces (Latin: the leader), principes (Latin: the first), meliores (Latin: the best), praestantinores (Latin: the excellent), or primores (Latin: the noblest) and are obliged to pay tribute and military successes. The term velvet ruler is an art term, as the actual position of the Slavic princes in the Franconian Empire was not always clear.
After the Reichstag in 826, Ceadric breaks the vassal treaty and turns to the pagan Danes. As a result, the Obotritenland becomes the Danish Wendland, which, despite several successful military campaigns under Ludwig the German, cannot be forced back into vassal status. Between 862 and 955 the Wendland is considered part of the Danish Empire and accordingly there is a gap in the tradition of the Franconian chronicles. The Danes understood Wendland to mean the entire coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
It was not until 955 that the Obotrite land was brought back under control in the Battle of the Raxa. As a result, the Christian dynasty of the Naconids ruled until 1071. Since 936, it has been subordinate to the army commander and margrave Hermann Billung and his descendants to the dukes of East Saxony.
In 1071 the Naconids are defeated by the pagan Kruto with the help of the Rans and Danes. It is unclear whether Kruto was able to conquer and rule the whole Obotritenland and whether the name could go back to the Danish Knýtlinga saga. In 1093 the aged Kruto was defeated by the last naconide sprout, Heinrich von Liubice. In the following 30 years he succeeded in regaining control of Rügen and Western Pomerania. In 1127 he and his descendants were slain by pagans, with which he died a Christian martyr. Knud Lavard, Danish Jarl von Schleswig bought the Obotritenland in 1129 as a fiefdom from Lothar III, who succeeded Duke Magnus Billung, who died childless in 1106, and who became king in 1125. Knud had little time to control his fiefdom, because he died two years later.
With Lubimar and his younger brother Niklot, two princes emerged in 1131, whose sex will in future be linked to the history of Mecklenburg. Their origin is unknown. The Mecklenburg dynasty descends in a straight line from Niklot , the last prince of the Slavic tribe of the Abodrites in the narrower sense. This probably coincided with his brother Lubimar in 1160 against Henry the Lion. Niklot had its original seat at Mecklenburg Castle in Dorf Mecklenburg (Mikelenburg) near Wismar. Lubimar is named as the lord of Werle Castle , against which the attack by Heinrich the Lion was carried out.
Since 1167 in a fiefdom under German law - initially under the Saxons - Mecklenburg was dubbed imperial territory in 1348 and the prince dynasty as the dukes of Mecklenburg . Despite several divisions of rule , Mecklenburg remained a state until the end of the monarchy. In 1234 the first break occurred and the principality was divided into the First Mecklenburg Main State Division . This is how the partial principalities (dominions) Werle , Parchim-Richenberg , Rostock and Mecklenburg came into being . In modern times divided into two (partial) duchies Mecklenburg-Schwerin (I) and Mecklenburg-Stargard (1348–1471), Mecklenburg-Schwerin (II) and Mecklenburg-Güstrow (1555–1695), with the Hamburg comparison (1701) in Mecklenburg-Schwerin (III) and Mecklenburg-Strelitz . However, the dynasty was always enfeoffed to the entire hand and the rulers of both parts of the country always had identical titles, which led to diplomatic confusion.
As a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the two reigning dukes were given the title Grand Duke of Mecklenburg and the personal salutation Royal Highness . Both parts of the country were henceforth called Grand Duchies. In addition to the two regents, two heirs to the throne and their respective wives, all other members of the princely family continued to hold the title of dukes (duchesses) of Mecklenburg, and in contrast to the general practice, the princes and princesses also carried it. The Mecklenburg regents titled as Duke of (from 1815: Grand Duke of ) Mecklenburg, Prince of Wenden, Schwerin and Ratzeburg , also Count of Schwerin , the Land of Rostock and Stargard Herr .
At the end of the monarchy, the House of Mecklenburg was one of the oldest ruling princely families in Germany. In the Weimar Republic, the former title of prince was changed to the civil family name Herzog zu Mecklenburg .

The period of reign is given for the names of the dukes and the relationship to the predecessor. Since the division into rulers played a role, especially in the Middle Ages, the administration of which changed frequently, any reigns / reigns are noted separately for the respective ruler.
Gentlemen in the land of the Obotrites
First velvet ruler of the Obotrites
| Name (life data) | Reign | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Witzan (* unknown; † 795) |
780-795 | Warlord and first velvet ruler of the Obotrites, also named Visan, 780 alliance with Charlemagne near Wolmirstedt, fell in the battle of Bardowieck in 795 against northern Albingians | |
|

defacto 795; 804-810 | Velvet ruler of the Obotrites, also named Thrasco, vassal of Charlemagne | |
|
Sclaomir (* before 789; † 821) |
810-821 | Velvet ruler of the Obotrites, brother of Drasco, vassal of Charlemagne | |
|

819 – after 826 | Velvet ruler of the Obotrites, son of Drasco, hostage at the Danish court of Göttrik , vassal Ludwig the Pious , then vassal Göttriks , Ludwig sends an army against the renegade Obodrites in 838/839 | |
|
Goztomuizli (* unknown; † 844) |
after 826-844 | Jarl of the Obotrites, also called Gotzomuizli, Gozzomiul, Gozzomuil, Gestimulus or Gostomysl, vassal of the Danish King Horik I , Ludwig the German dispatches an army in 844 and Goztomuizli is killed. | |
|
Tabomuizli (* unknown, † after 844) |
after 844– around 862 | Regent of the Obotrites, Ludwig the German did not appoint a velvet ruler, but divided the Slavic land into four tribal areas and determined tribal princes reguli in civitate to their provincial guardians (Slav. Piast = Heger, Pfleger). |
At around the same time, Piast was appointed ruler of the Polans and Rastislav as ruler of Moravia. Tabomuizli is mentioned in 862 as the velvet ruler of the Obotrites.
As a result, the Obotritenland between 862 and 955 as Wendland becomes part of the Danish Empire of Gorm the Old (Danish Gorm den Gamle) and the Slavic princes become Danish Jarls. This results in a gap in the tradition of the Franconian records. The Polanen Duke Mieszko I formed a coalition with Harald Blauzahn, with whom he subjugated the Pomorans, then he had the Jomsburg on the island of Wollin built by Palnatoki von Fyn .
