Ottwin
Ottwin ( Otwin von Sonnenburg ; † January 6, 1019 at Sonnenburg Castle ) was a count in Lurngau (Upper Carinthia) and in the Pustertal .
Count Ottwin was married to Wichburg (Wichpurch, Wichpurg, Wigburg), a daughter of the Bavarian Count Palatine and former Carinthian messenger Hartwig I († 985). This founded the St. Georgen Abbey on the Längsee between 1000 and 1023 and Ottwin took part in it around 1000 with the surrender of a large part of his inheritance in the Puster Valley ( Dietenheim (Bruneck) ). He then went on a pilgrimage, returned after 17 years and died in 1019 at his Sonnenburg Castle (Suanapurc). He was buried in St. Georgen am Längsee .
