Werner I. von Veltheim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner I. von Veltheim is one of the earliest documented representatives of the Lower Saxon noble family von Veltheim , who first appeared in documents at the end of the 11th century.

He was released on July 25, 1087 in Goslar as Wernerus de Velthem as a witness, as Bishop Burchard II. Of Halberstadt the Ilsenburg Abbey confirmed his rights. The bishop adds that Werner filius fratis mei Adelgoti , i.e. the son of his brother Adelgot von Veltheim, is what confirms the family relationships.

Werner is said to have been a son of Adelgot and this in turn a brother of the aforementioned Bishop Burchard von Halberstadt. Werner probably got his name from Archbishop Werner von Magdeburg , who in turn is said to have been an uncle of Adelgot and Burchard von Veltheim.

He is referred to for the first time in a document of the Lippoldsberg monastery with the nobility predicate Graf as Werenherus comes from between 1095 and 1101 .
