Pribislaw I.

Pribislaw I., Lord of Parchim Rich Mountain (* btw 15 February and June 3, 1224; † after February 12, 1275 ) was from 1238 to 1256 Mr. ( prince) to Parchim Rich Mountain.

He was the youngest son of Henry II Borwin and after the division of lands him dominion Parchim Rich Mountain was awarded. He grew up at the court of Mecklenburg his brother Johann I.. Since he was too young, this still managed to 1238 the rule for his brother. In 1238, he could begin his reign at the castle Parchim. His reign included the countries Parchim ( with Brenz and Rose Garden ), the landscape Ture (see Official Ture ) and the later bailiwicks Plau, Goldberg, Sternberg and ultimately Rich Mountain ( Bruetz on the Warnow river in Langen). He soon fell into a border dispute with the Count Schwerin. So he had to cede Brenz and Neustadt- Glewe. After this feud, he managed to stabilize his principality economically through the creation of cities Goldberg and Sternberg and settlement of Jews in Parchim. In 1248 Goldberg and Sternberg received the Parchimsche city right through him. He founded in 1240 on the western Eldeufer the Parchimer Neustadt. He brought in 1246 members of the Franciscan Order to Parchim. In 1248 Pribislaw moved the seat of residence for the newly built castle Parchim Rich Mountain Warnow near the village of Kritzow. Since then, the rule was also Parchim Rich Mountain. The reasons are not known exactly.

Soon it came to disputes with the Schwerin Bishop Rudolf, once over the tithe payments and as the main reason the trial of Rudolf to build a castle in the immediate border location in Biitzow. Pribislaw as ruler saw himself directly threatened by this castle. He had the castle burned down and imprisoned Rudolf in Rich mountain into the dungeon. The bishop came but for a small ransom soon free again. Rudolf then tried by every means to overthrow Pribislaw, so he let Pribislaw place in imperial ban and secured a papal ban against the princes. After a short compensation in 1255 Pribislaw was captured and handed over to the bishop. Pribislaw was overthrown and the country of his brethren: and his brother, the Count of Schwerin, divided. Pribislaw went into exile in Pomerania and received as compensation in the dominion Belgard Pomerania. As Bishop Rudolf died in 1262, he hoped for the return of his property, but his brothers denied this. In 1270, he renounced his claims to the land Parchim Rich Mountain and returned to Belgard, where he died in 1275. He was married twice, once with the daughter of Richard of Friesack and then with the putative daughter of Duke Barnim I.
