Live and act

On March 23, 1270, he and his brothers certified Count Rudolf and Hugo von Tübingen that Otto and Hugo had given their farm in Öschelbronn to the Kirchberg monastery for the salvation of their souls and the souls of their ancestors , because there was a burial place of their ancestors there and because her biological sister Kunigunde was a nun there.

On June 22nd, 1270, he and his brothers, Count Palatine Hugo and Ludwig von Tübingen, with the consent of their uncle and guardian Count Rudolf von Tübingen and their grandfather Otto von Eberstein, granted the town of Horb special rights.

On March 5, 1276, Count Palatine Otto von Tübingen enfeoffed the faithful Marquard von Bittelbronn , whose father-in-law the mayor Eberwin von Dornstetten and brother-in-law Hugo, with the fiefs that they have had from his deceased father, namely 2 farms in Hailfingen , which were formerly his uncle Count Rudolf von Tübingen had owned.

In 1276 Count Palatine Otto von Tübingen confirmed the sale and handover of a farmstead, a tree garden and several fields belonging to this at Reuthin by Ůl. and his mother with his sisters at the prioress and convent of Kirchberg.

On March 6, 1282, Count Palatine Otto von Tübingen granted the prioress and the convent of the Order of Preachers in his city Horb freedom from city services and taxes. Among other things, he freed the Dominican convent from the "vigilia" (Latin for night watch). For the first time, the monastery is demonstrably designated as belonging to the order of the preachers.

As Egon III. von Fürstenberg voluntarily awarded the richly lendable valleys Mühlenbach and Riedsbach as well as the village Steinach to Rudolf von Habsburg in 1288 , he asked that Herrmann von Geroldsegg and Otto von Tübingen be enfeoffed with it, which also happened.
