Ludolf V. von Dassel

Ludolf V. von Dassel (* before 1266, † after 1299) was a son of Count Ludolf IV. Von Dassel .

Shortly after 1266, in order to protect his surrounding estates and lands, he had a basalt cone, which was half-surrounded by the Esse, in today's Grebenstein north of Kassel - what had been a rather small castle complex to become Burg Grebenstein ("Grafenstein"). This castle is first mentioned in a document in 1272 - in connection with disputes between the diocese of Paderborn and the Landgrave Heinrich I of Hesse , whereby it concerns the border regulations of the castles Schartenberg and Grebenstein as well as the court on the hornbeam. By marriage, the castle and town of Grebenstein, which were Mainz fiefs , probably passed to Ludolf's son-in-law, Otto von Everstein , around 1279 . Around 1282 the castle was apparently at least partially owned by the Hessian Landgrave Heinrich I. Otto von Everstein himself entered the Landgrave's service as a Burgmann in 1293 and opened all of his castles to him. On August 28, 1297 Otto sold the castle and town of Grebenstein with the court and all accessories to the Landgrave and was replaced as Burgmann.

Ludolf V married a woman named Ermengard around 1260. A good relationship between the Counts of Dassel and the Counts of Rietberg has been documented for the following decades .

In a document issued by Richard of Cornwall in 1270 , the German king allowed Count Ludolf V von Dassel to take half of the Solling forest , the escort from Adelebsen to Höxter and from Münden to Hameln , customs to Wahmbeck and half of the customs to Bodenfelde , across the Weser, to be sold to Duke Albrecht of Braunschweig . In a document from 1272, Ludolf V von Dassel (again) grants the Duke of Braunschweig the county that belongs to half of the Solling forest, with the exception of 12 named villages on the Weser . In 1274 Count Ludolf V and Adolf VI vow. von Nienover to keep the palace and the forest of Solling as fiefdoms until Duke Albrecht von Braunschweig obtained the fiefdom from the empire. They renounce their claims to the city of Einbeck and the county of Billingessen and give up these rights to King Richard.

Ludolf V. von Dassel's descendants were probably Simon (married to a Sophie) and Konrad von Dassel, who raided the village of Lippoldsberg in 1310 and stole cattle. He also had a daughter named Clementia, who married Burchard IV of Barby in 1293 and died around 1321.

With Simon's death on May 1, 1325, the family of the Counts of Dassel died out.

New gender

The citizen of Einbeck, Hermannus de Dasle, was a follower of the extinct count house, who named himself after their ancestral seat and thus founded a new line of families , namely the Dassel patrician family .
