Gräfliches und fürstliches Haus Sayn-WittgensteinBearbeiten

Haus Sayn-Wittgenstein

Gottfried III. von Sponheim (* vor 1183; † 1218) heiratete 1202 Adelheid von Sayn († 1263), eine der beiden Schwestern und Erbinnen des letzten Grafen von Sayn, Heinrich III. Nach dessen Tod 1246/47 fielen Teile der Grafschaft Sayn an Gottfrieds Sohn Johann I., den Begründer der Linie Sponheim-Starkenburg, sein Bruder Heinrich I. von Heinsbergbegründete die Linie Sponheim-Heinsberg und der jüngste Bruder, Simon I., die Linie Sponheim-Kreuznach.

Johann I. von Sponheim-Starkenburg hatte einen Sohn Gottfried I. (1266–1284), unter dessen Söhnen 1294 eine Erbteilung stattfand: Johann II. erbte die Grafschaft Sayn und begründete die Linie der Grafen von Sayn-Sayn; sein Bruder Engelbert I. erbte Vallendarund aus mütterlichem Erbe die Herrschaft Homburg mit Schloss Homburg und begründete die Linie der Grafen von Sayn-Homburg. Die letztere Linie erbte 1361 die Grafschaft Wittgenstein und begründete damit das gräfliche Haus Sayn-Wittgenstein, das sich 1605 in die drei Linien Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein und Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn teilte. Erstere wurde 1792, die zweite 1801 zu Reichsfürsten erhoben. Die beiden Fürstentümer wurden jedoch 1806 an das Großherzogtum Hessen-Darmstadt mediatisiert und kamen 1815 an Preußen; danach gehörten die Linien des Hauses Sayn-Wittgenstein (wie die Ortenburger) zu den Standesherren des Deutschen Bundes. Das fürstliche Haus blüht in seiner Berleburger Linie (die auch das Erbe der Hohensteiner und Sayner Linien antrat) bis heute.

1.         GOTTFRIED [II] ([1175/85]-1223).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   According to Europäische Stammtafeln, he was the youngest son of "Gottfried [II] Grafvon Sponheim" who, according to the same source, was the son of Gottfried [I] (see above).  Estimating Gottfried´s probable birth date represents the best starting point for assessing his possible parentage.  Given the first mention of his son Johann in 1219, and the marriage of his son Heinrich dated to 1230, it is likely that the children of Gottfried [II] and his wife Adelheid von Sayn were born in the range [1200/15], bearing in mind also that Adelheid had three children from her second marriage.  If that date is correct, Gottfried [II] was probably born no earlier than [1175/85].  Looking at the careers of the sons of Gottfried [I] Graf von Sponheim who are named above, it is likely that they were already adult by that time, which is also consistent with Gottfried [I]´s own birth in [1115] as discussed above.  There would seem to be two possible solutions for the parentage of Gottfried [II]: either he could have been the son of Gottfried [I] born from a second marriage contracted towards the end of his father´s life, or he could have been the son of one of Gottfried [I]´s sons who are named above.  Until more primary sourcedata comes to light, it has been decided to leave his parentage as unidentified in the present document.  "…Henricus de Spanheim…" witnessed the charter dated 6 Apr 1197 which records the resignation by "Henricus Palatinus comes Rheni" from "episcopali apud Trevirem advocatiam"[171].  "Henricus…dux et comes palatinus Rheni" granted a loan to "comitibus de Spanheim Heinrico…Alberto et Godefrido" over "comitiam inMeineuelde ex illa parte Moselle" for "peregrinationis" by charter dated 27 May 1197[172].  "Godefridus comes de Spaneim…" witnessed the charter dated to [1199/1200] under which Johann Archbishop of Trier and "Folmarem comitem de Castele" reached agreement concerning "quod in monte de Baruncastel"[173].  "…Godefridus comes de Spaneim…" witnessed the charter dated 1202 under which Johann Archbishop of Trier confirmed the foundation of Kloster Sayn by "Heinricus comes de Seine"[174].  "…Godefridus comes de Spanheim…" witnessed the charter dated 1211 under which Konrad Bishop of Speyer donated "patronatu et in decimis ecclesie de Medenheim" to Kloster Hemmenrode[175].  "Godefridus comes de Spanheim", on leaving overseas on crusade, donated property to Kloster Werchweiler, at the request of "…uxoris mee Adelheidis comitisse", by charter dated 21 Jul 1218, witnessed by "comitis Henrici de Geminoponte"[176].  m as her first husband, ADELHEID von Sayn, daughter of HEINRICH [II] Graf von Sayn & his wife Agnes von Saffenberg (-22 Nov 1263).  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 29 Sep 1267 under which her son "Theodericus de Heymesberg et de Blankemberg et uxor nostra Johanna" donated property to the Teutonic Order at Köln, for the souls of "avunculi nostri Henrici quondam comitis Henrici et Henrici patris nostri"[177].  She married secondly Eberhard [IV] Graf von Eberstein.  "A…comitissa de Spanhem et Euerstein" donated wine production to Abtei Sayn, for the souls of "domni Godefridi comitis de Spanhem et domni Euerhardi…filii nostri defunctorum", by charter dated 1256[178].  Gottfried [III] & his wife had three children:  

a)         JOHANN [I] (-1266, after 30 Jun).  "Iwano filio comitis de Spanheim et fratribus suis…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Oct 1219 under which Siegfried Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the foundation of Kloster St Katharina at Kreuznach[179].  Graf von Sponheim.  "Johannes comes de Spanheim" donated "quarte parte decimarum ecclesie in Rodhe…temporibus patris nostri felicis memorie Godefridi" to the church of Carden, with the consent of "fratrum germanorum coheredum nostrum", by charter dated 1226[180].  The Annales Wormatienses name "domni Iohannes comitis de Spanheim et fratrum suorum" in 1249[181].  Herr zu Sayn und Starkenburg.  "Johannes comes de Spanheim" donated "patronatus ecclesie de Lussenich" to the Teutonic Knights, after the death of "quondam comitis Henrici Seynensis avunculi nostri", by charter dated29 Jul 1256[182].
