from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tammo (also Thankmar ; * around 960; † 1037 ) was count in the Saxon Hessengau from 994 and also count in Astfala and in Flutwidde from 1013 .

His parents were Count Dietrich von Sachsen and Fritheruna, daughter of Count Palatine Adalbero, and his brother Bishop Bernward von Hildesheim .

He was the governor of the Hildesheim church. Since 1001 he was Truchsess Emperor Otto III. in Italy. There he succeeded in keeping the rebellious Romans in check from Paterno Castle and thereby strengthening the imperial reputation in those areas. On March 18, 1001 he received a good of five hooves in Palazzuolo in the village of Leibi ( Liubicha , Großlöbichau ) in the Kirchberg area ( in territoruio Kirihbergensi ) in the county of Eckhards ( in comitatu Ekkiharti ) as a gift. On May 12 of the same year he received from Otto III. in Ravenna , on the use of the Margrave Hugo von Tuszien , given a hoof (estate) in the Franconian Ober-Ingelheim , which a certain Bernhard had previously owned.

In 1013 Heinrich II gave him the Gau Astfala as a fief , in which Bernwards monastery foundation was also located. His grave authority extended here over the places mainly in the today's districts Peine , Wolfenbüttel and Hildesheim . The year of death is 1037. "The terminus ante quem is the year 1037, the year of death of Count Tangmar (Tammo)", write Michael Brandt and Arne Eggebrecht in 1993.

Tammos County in the Gau Flutwidde fell to the Brunonen after his death .
