Live and act

In 1251 Ulrich von Asperg was named in a sales deed from Bishop Eberhard von Konstanz together with his older brother Rudolf IV of Tübingen, called von Asperg († 1271), and their cousin Rudolf von Tübingen , the Scheerer († 1277), as the guarantor of his brother-in-law Count Ulrich I of Württemberg cited.

In 1264 he sold his part of the county of Gleiberg with Gießen to Landgrave Heinrich I of Hesse ; this property came to the Count Palatine of Tübingen in 1181 through the marriage of his grandmother Mechthild von Gießen to Rudolf I.

In 1277 he testified for his son-in-law, Count Konrad III. von Vaihingen , whose sale of the village of Gündelbach and the Vogtei via the monastic Steinbachhof to Abbot Hildebrand and the convent of Maulbronn Monastery .

In 1278, "Count Ulrich von Tübingen, called von Asperg" freed the goods of the Katharinenspital in Esslingen in Münchingen and Möglingen along with their inmates from the guardianship and all burdens that he had previously been able to claim against payment of 142 pounds Heller .

Around 1280 he belonged to the coalition of counts around imperial bailiff Albrecht II of Hohenberg , the count Hartmann III. von Grüningen were defeated in a field battle on April 6, 1280 on behalf of King Rudolf von Habsburg and put him in dungeon on the Asperg until his death in October.

After Ulrich's death († 1283), his nephew Gottfried I von Tübingen , called von Böblingen , sealed several times on the Hohenasperg before his son Ulrich II von Asperg appeared. In 1308 he sold the castle and town of Asperg with further property in the former Glemsgau to Count Eberhard I of Württemberg . Nobody called himself "Count von Asperg" after that.
