Wilhelm I. Graf von Neuenahr (Nuenar, a Nvenar, Novaquila, van Nievenaar), Lord of Bedburg (Bedbur), Rösberg and Limburg (* around 1447; † May 12, 1497 ) was a German nobleman. Between 1486 and 1495 he regularly took part in court and imperial days as a member of the Kurkölner delegation.

Life

Wilhelm I von Neuenahr was the son of Count Gumprecht II von Neuenahr (* around 1400; † 1484), hereditary bailiff of Cologne , Lord of the Alps, and (⚭ 1425) Margareta Countess of Limburg (1406 − around 1459), mistress Bedburg and Hackenbroich.

→ For further ancestors see the article on his son Hermann von Neuenahr the Elder (1492–1530) .

During the lifetime of Wilhelm's brother Friedrich von Neuenahr-Alpen , who fell in 1468, her father Gumprecht II, who had entered the clergy as a widower, ordered a division of power and property between these two sons around 1461. Junggrave Wilhelm took part in Cologne in 1481 at the wedding of Duke Wilhelm von Jülich-Berg (1455–1511) with Margravine Sibylle von Brandenburg (1467–1524). In 1482 he entered the service of the duke, who placed his rule Bedbur under his protection.

After the death of his father Gumprecht II, Wilhelm I von Neuenahr was enfeoffed in the Archbishopric of Cologne with Bedburg , Garsdorf , Hof Morken , Rösberg and the office of hereditary steward of the electorate. In 1484 he called himself in a document that he and his nephew Gumprecht I von Neuenahr-Alpen (1465–1504), hereditary bailiff of Cologne, issued for the Mariengraden Abbey in Cologne , "Graf zu Neuenahr and Limburg, Herr zu Bedburg" . Wilhelm I von Neuenahr had been named by his father in his will as successor in the office of hereditary bailiff, but had renounced the bailiwick in favor of his nephew. At the court in Auenheim he prescribed 1,100 guilders to Dreys von Büsdorf (Boysdorp).

Wilhelm I married the wealthy heiress Countess Walburga von Manderscheid (* 1468; † 1530/35), Mistress zu Schleiden , daughter of Count Kuno (Konrad) I von Manderscheid (around 1444-1489), Herr zu Schleiden, Neuenstein and in 1485 Kasselburg and (⚭ 1459) Countess Walpurga von Horn (around 1443–1476), mistress of Altena . Archduke Maximilian I of Austria (1459–1519) and his son Duke Philipp von Brabant (1478–1506) prescribed 1200 guilders from customs on the Maas ( Schleidener Zoll ) to the married couple for the wedding , with which otherwise Kuno I von Manderscheid was enfeoffed. The family's estate in Cologne, the “ Neuenahrer Hof ”, stood on the corner of Langgasse (today: Neven-DuMont-Strasse) and Schwalbengasse-Kupfergasse. It was laid down in the 1640s, the stair tower has been preserved in the Church of St. Maria in the Kupfergasse .

In 1486 Wilhelm I von Neuenahr took part in Frankfurt am Main in the entourage of Cologne Archbishop Hermann IV of Hesse († 1508) in the election of Maximilian I as Roman-German king; he and his nephew Gumprecht I. von Neuenahr-Alpen took up quarters in the Gasthaus Zu der Weinreben on Töngesgasse and the corner of Liebfrauenberg . On the occasion of his subsequent coronation trip to Cologne, the king instructed the Cologne hereditary bailiff to carry out the amnesty of nine banned evildoers named by name. In 1487 Wilhelm I. von Neuenahr was on the Reichstag of Emperor Friedrich III. (1415–1493) in Nuremberg . In 1488 he was Drost von Erkelenz and took on as an "orderly council for fencing and rights" on behalf of Emperor Friedrich III. in the procession of Margrave Friedrich II of Brandenburg-Ansbach (1460–1536) to the Netherlands for the liberation of King Maximilian I, who was captured by the Flemish estates in Bruges .

Wilhelm I was in pledge possession of a Turnosen at the Kurkölner Bonn Rheinzoll . In 1489 he provided part of the revenue from customs as security for the dowry of his niece Margarete von Sombreffe († 1518) - a daughter of his sister Elisabeth von Neuenahr († 1484) - when she married Heinrich II von Reichenstein († 1506) , Herr zu Kerpen and Reckheim.

In 1490 Wilhelm I von Neuenahr and his wife Walburgis, with the approval of the Electorate of Cologne feudal lord Hermann IV of Hesse, pledged the Morken court in the Kaster office to the Jülich treasurer and bailiff of Nörvenich Johann van dem Bongart (* around 1446; † 1520) and his wife Elisabeth of Argenteau († after 1520). Archbishop Hermann IV of Hesse pledged the office of Hülchrath in 1490 for 6,000 guilders to Wilhelm I of Neuenahr. In 1491, the Kurkölner "Rhait und ... Erff-Hoffmeister" Wilhelm I. von Neuenahr sealed the contract of Archbishop Hermann IV. With the city of Cologne on the High Court, coin issues, pension payments from the mill table (joint administration of the Rhine mills) and the right to the Grut when brewing beer . In 1493, Wilhelm I von Neuenahr sold an income of 42 guilders from the tithing of Holzheim in the Helpenstein rule to Heinrich von Salm-Reifferscheid for 700 Oberland Rhenish gold guilders . In 1494 Wilhelm I received a pledge of 5000 guilders from Count Everwin II of Bentheim-Steinfurt (1461–1530) and Johann IV. Of Holstein-Schaumburg-Gemen (1449–1527) over the neighboring rule of Wevelinghoven . In order to pay for the castle and the glories of Wevelinghoven and Lievendahl, Wilhelm I von Neuenahr prescribed a pension to his “brother-in-law” Johann IV von Holstein-Schaumburg and his wife Kordula von Gemen († 1528).

When there was a dispute between Jacob II von Horn († 1500) and his brother Johann IX. von Hoorn († 1506), Bishop of Liège , as feudal lord on the one hand, Wilhelm III. von Wied and Moers († 1526) on the other hand over the county of Hoorn and especially the rule Weert , which in 1486 to Wilhelm III. Grandfather-in-law Vincenz von Moers-Saar Werden († 1499) pledged and from this in 1492 to Wilhelm III. were transferred, Wilhelm I von Neuenahr - later his widow Walburga von Manderscheid - was entrusted with the sequestration (compulsory administration) of the disputed areas.

1494 granted Maximilian I in Cologne Adolf III. von Nassau-Idstein-Wiesbaden (1443–1511), the governor of Geldern and Zutphen, Wilhelm I von Neuenahr and Vinzenz von Eyll († 1496/97), the provost of the monastery in Oldenzaal , commissioned an inheritance dispute between the brothers Georg († 1558) and Eberhard von Sayn-Wittgenstein († 1495) to arbitrate. At the Reichstag in Worms in 1495, in which he participated as a member of the Electoral Cologne delegation, the Kaiser Wilhelm I von Neuenahr and the Cologne dean Johann Husmann († 1499) commissioned the settlement of the "Second Essen Abbess Dispute" between the Abbess of the Imperial Abbey of Essen Meyna (Amöna) von Daun-Oberstein (* around 1442; † 1525; resigned 1520) and two monastery sisters: the provost Elisabeth von Bronckhorst - Borculo (* around 1440/45; † 1495) and her niece, the scholaster and since 1489 against - Abbess Irmgard (Armgard) von Diepholz (* around 1449; † 1504).

In 1495, Wilhelm I enfeoffed canon Johan van Dyngen of St. Georg in Cologne with a tithe of the Schillingswald (Schewingswald) fiefdom belonging to the House of Kaster in Waat near Jüchen .

After his death, Wilhelm I von Neuenahr was buried next to his parents in the family crypt in the church of the Cistercian monastery in the Mariengarten St. Maria ad Ortum (laid down in 1805). His son Hermann, who was about five years old when his father died and was survived by his mother, had a grave inscription placed for him around 1505/08, according to which Count Wilhelm I von Neuenahr “ ad annum redemptionis humanae M. CCCC. XCVII. IV. Idus Maias "(= in the year 1497 of human redemption on May 12th) died and" annos circiter quinquaginta "(= about fifty years) was old. The humanist Hermann von dem Busche (1468–1534), headmaster of the Latin school in Wesel , wrote an appreciation of Count Wilhelm I von Neuenahr in poetry for the two sons around 1518: De illvstris et Generosi Nouaquilae Comitis Guilhelmi obitu, ad Hermannum & Guilhelmu [m] filios… hendecasyllabi .
