Monument of Albrecht II in the Berlin Victory Avenue

The aforementioned monument of Albrecht stood in the former Victory Avenue in the Tiergarten in Berlin, the 1895 by Kaiser Wilhelm II commissioned "Splendor Boulevard" with monuments from the history of Brandenburg and Prussia. Under the direction of Reinhold Begas, between 1895 and 1901 27 sculptor 32 still images of the Brandenburg and Prussian rulers of 2.75 m height were created. Each statue was flanked by two smaller busts with the portrayal of persons who had played an important role in the life of the respective ruler or for the history of Brandenburg/Prussia.

Beside Figure Eike von Repgow, writer of the Saxon Mirror

At the Monument Group 4 were the busts of Eike von Repgow, the author of the Saxon Mirror, and Hermann von Salza, the high master of the Teutonic Order. As Albrecht's participation in his founding meeting shows (see above), he had gained a close relationship with the German Knights, which was based on the same political objective with regard to the eastern territories. He had already met Hermann von Salza on the Palestine Crusade and deepened his relationship with life – the choice of a minor character is meant to express this relationship

According to Eike von Repgow, neither Albrecht II nor the Mark Brandenburg were in contact with Gustav Albrecht. The choice of the secondary figure is probably due to the fact that the Saxon mirror as the most important legal book of the German Middle Ages had great influence also on Brandenburg and northern Germany. However, Eike had a close connection to the House of Ascanians, for he was in the service of Heinrich I, Prince of Anhalt.

The sculptor of the monument Group was Johannes Böse. The revelation took place on March 22nd, 1898. The monument of Albrecht, Gustav Albrecht 1900, described as follows: "The Margrave, in the chain tank with a high-pitched hood, is conceived in a battle-ready position, as he protected with dragged heavy a castle, presumably the border-resistant Oderberg built in the year 1215. The head of the energetically looking prince adorns a narrow Kronreif; Around the armored shirt adorned with the Märkische Eagle is a broad ornamental belt, a long coat falls, held together by the left, picturesquely back down.

ALBRECHT von Brandenburg, son of OTTO I Markgraf von Brandenburg & his second wife Adelheid [Ada of Holland?] ([1172/76]-25 Feb 1220, bur Kloster Lehnin). The Cronica Principum Saxonie names (in order) "Ottonem, Henricum et Albertum" as the three sons of "Otto primus [filius Alberti Ursi]"[167]. No primary source has yet been found which names his mother. Albrecht was not born in 1170, the date of the charter under which "Otto…Brandenburgensis marchio et Judita uxor mea, filiique nostri Otto maior et Henricus minor" granted customs privileges to the town of Brandenburg by charter dated 1170[168]. By that time Markgraf Otto I´s first wife Judyta would have been nearly 40 years old. It is therefore unlikely that she was his mother. A charter of Markgraf Otto I dated 1 Jan 1177 names "Adelheida conjugis mea et…heredibus meis Ottone et Heinrico et Adelberto"[169]. "Otto Brandenburgensis marchio" founded Kloster Arendsee, with the consent of "meis heredibus Ottone, Heinrico, Adelberto filiis meis et uxore mea Adelheide", by charter dated 1184[170].

Their right to Pomorze was recognised 17 Jul 1307 by Peter Święca of Nowe, a powerful local aristocrat, who rebelled against the rule of Wladysław "Łokietek/the Short" Prince of Poland[218]. Pulcawa's Bohemian Chronicle records the death of "Hermannus" at "castri Eldemburg" and his burial "in Leninensi monasterio"[219]. m (Graz Oct 1295) as her first husband, ANNA of Austria, daughter of ALBRECHT I Duke of Austria [later King of Germany] & his wife Elisabeth von Görz-Tirol ([1275/80]-Breslau 19 Mar 1327, bur Breslau, Kloster St Anna/St Klara).

The Necrologium Austriacum records "Annam ducissam Bratislavie" third in its list of the daughters of King Albrecht & his wife, after "Agnetam reginam Ungarie, Elyzabet ducissam Lotharingie"[221]. This appears improbable assuming that the birth date of her sister Agnes is correct as shown below. Considering that Anna gave birth to her fourth child by her first marriage in 1302, it is unlikely that she could have been born after 1282. If this is correct, it is probable that she was her parents' first child. An undated memorial of the foundation of Kloster Arendsee names "Hermanni et Anne uxoris eius" among donors to the monastery[222]. She married secondly (1310, dispensation Avignon 28 May 1322) Heinrich VI Duke of Breslau [Piast].

Markgraf Hermann & his wife had four children: (a) AGNES ([1296/98]-28 Nov 1334). Pulcawa's Bohemian Chronicle names "Agnes" as the oldest of the three daughters of "Hermannus filius Ottonis longi" & his wife, specifying that she married "Woldemaro" but was childless[226]. An undated memorial of the foundation of Kloster Arendsee names "Woldemari et Agnetis uxoris eius" among donors to the monastery[227]. "Agnes ducissa Brunswiccensis" donated property to Kloster Arendsee with the consent of "domini et ducis Brunswiccensis conthoralis noster" by charter dated 6 Jun 1322 for the souls of "nostrorum progenitorum dominorum marchionum quondam Brandenburgensium"[228].

(c) JUTTA ([1298/1300]-1 Feb 1353, bur Coburg). Pulcawa's Bohemian Chronicle records that the third of the three daughters of "Hermannus filius Ottonis longi" & his wife married "filius comitis Bertholdi de Hennemberg"[233]. Pope John XXII issued a dispensation, at the request of "Caroli ducis Calabrie et…Catherine consortis ipsius", for the marriage of "Henricus natus…filii…Bertoldi comitis de Hennemberg" and "Iutta nata…filie --- ducisse Wratislauiensis sororis prefate ducisse Calabrie" for 4o consanguinity dated 15 Apr 1319[234].

"Juette etwen wirtin grafen Heinrichs zu Hennenberg…und…Johans…graue zu Hennenberg" confirmed the decision of four arbitrators regarding the division of the county of Henneberg between them, naming "Jutte…unsere tohtere…Elizabet grauin von Wirtenberg, Katherin marggrafin von Missen und iungfrauwen Suefftin" and "grafe Johans…unsern…bruder grauen Bertholde von Hennenberg…[und] Ludowige von Hennenberg", by charter dated 20 Sep 1347[237]. m ([1 Jan 1317/1 Feb 1319], Papal dispensation 15 Apr 1319) HEINRICH [VI] Graf von Henneberg, son of BERTHOLD Graf von Henneberg & his wife Adelheid von Hessen (-10 Sep 1347).

Albrecht II (* around/after 1150; † 25 February 1220) was the Margrave of Brandenburg from 1205 until his death. The Ascanians Albrecht II was the youngest son of Otto I and the Polish Duke's daughter Judith of Poland as well as the grandson of Albrecht the Bear, the founder of the Mark Brandenburg in the year 1157. He took over the Mark County after the death of his eldest brother Otto II.

Monument in the former Victory Avenue, Berlin 1898

Since 1184, Albrecht II was the count of Arneburg in the Altmark, which was claimed by Otto II and which belongs to Brandenburg. As such, he was temporarily imprisoned 1194 by Otto for unexplained reasons, then took part in the Third Crusade (1189-1192) and was present at the founding meeting of the Teutonic Order 1198 in Acre. In the throne disputes between Staufer and Welf at the beginning of the 13th century, Albrecht first supported the Hohenstaufen king Philip of Swabia as his brother Otto before him. After his assassination in 1208, he went to the Welf, as Emperor Otto IV gave him support in securing the county of Brandenburg against the Danes, which he confirmed in 1212. During this time Albrecht was repeatedly involved in disputes with Archbishop Albrecht I of Magdeburg. Albrecht II secured the regions of Teltow, Prignitz and parts of the Uckermark definitively for the Mark Brandenburg, but lost Pomerania.

If the grandfather Albrecht the bear is the founder of the Mark Brandenburg and the father Otto I. As the promoter and handlebar of the settlement movement, Stephan Warnatsch sums up to the sons: "[they] continued the initiated Territorialisierungsprozeß and started from the end of the 12th century. In the course of the Ostbewegung, the influx of settlers grew more and more and thus many more «personnel» were available for the expansion of the country, to the land Ruppin and above all to Barnim and Teltow. In addition, the OR and the southern Uckermark were objectives of the Ascanian expansion endeavor. Everywhere, however, there was conflict with the claims of competing princes. " 1]

Albrecht has been married since 1205 with Mathilde Vo

"Hermannus…Marchio Brandenburgensis et de Henneberge" confirmed rights to Stendal by charter dated 24 Nov 1306 which names "patruis nostris…Ottone, Conrado, Johanne, Waldemaro"[217]. After his family had long asserted its claims to Pomorze [Pommerellen], Václav III [Wenzel] King of Bohemia (at that time claiming to succeed his father as king of Poland) granted Pomorze as a fief to Markgraf Hermann and his cousin Markgraf Waldemar. Their right to Pomorze was recognised 17 Jul 1307 by Peter Święca of Nowe, a powerful local aristocrat, who rebelled against the rule of Wladysław "Łokietek/the Short" Prince of Poland[218]. Pulcawa's Bohemian Chronicle records the death of "Hermannus" at "castri Eldemburg" and his burial "in Leninensi monasterio"[219]. m (Graz Oct 1295) as her first husband, ANNA of Austria, daughter of ALBRECHT I Duke of Austria [later King of Germany] & his wife Elisabeth von Görz-Tirol ([1275/80]-Breslau 19 Mar 1327, bur Breslau, Kloster St Anna/St Klara).

The Necrologium Austriacum records "Annam ducissam Bratislavie" third in its list of the daughters of King Albrecht & his wife, after "Agnetam reginam Ungarie, Elyzabet ducissam Lotharingie"[221]. This appears improbable assuming that the birth date of her sister Agnes is correct as shown below. Considering that Anna gave birth to her fourth child by her first marriage in 1302, it is unlikely that she could have been born after 1282. If this is correct, it is probable that she was her parents' first child. An undated memorial of the foundation of Kloster Arendsee names "Hermanni et Anne uxoris eius" among donors to the monastery[222]. She married secondly (1310, dispensation Avignon 28 May 1322) Heinrich VI Duke of Breslau [Piast].
