You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Otto I, Count of Waldeck''' (c. 1262 – 11 November 1305) was the count of [[Principality of Waldeck and Pyrmont|Waldeck]] from 1275/76 until his murder in November 1305.

Otto was the youngest son of [[Henry III, Lord of Waldeck|Henry III of Waldeck]] and Matilda of Cuyk-Arnsberg, a daughter of Count Gottfried III of Arnsberg and heiress of [[Wewelsburg]].  Henry III died in 1267, a few years before his father, Count Adolf I of Waldeck, and therefore the inheritance of Waldeck went from Adolf I to his grandsons.  Henry III's eldest son [[Adolf II of Waldeck]] served as regent of the County of Waldeck upon his grandfather's death in 1270.  However, at the time of Henry III's death, his three sons with their mother Matilda decided that the County of Waldeck should descend to whoever of the three sons were to marry the then underage Sophia, daughter of [[Henry I, Landgrave of Hesse]].  Ultimately, it was Henry III's youngest son Otto who married Sophia of Hesse in 1275/76.  Upon the marriage of Otto and Sophia, Adolf II abdicated rule of the County of Waldeck in favor of his brother Otto and entered the clergy, later becoming Bishop of [[Liège]] in 1301.  Henry III's second son, Gottfried, became Bishop of Minden in 1304.  Their sister [[Adelaide of Waldeck|Adelheid]] married [[Simon I, Lord of Lippe|Simon I of Lippe]] in Detmold in 1276.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.waldecker-muenzen.de/Regent_Beschreibung_Otto%2BI._4_1.1.html|title=Waldecker Münzen))</ref>

During the 45-year reign of Adolf I, he made Waldeck a viable territory.  He founded the cities of Waldeck, Sachsenhausen and Freienhagen.  He began building the castle and town of Rhoden and gained the rule of Korbach.  He also gained influence over Lichtenfels Castle with the cities of Fürstenberg and Sachsenberg.  Otto I continued his grandfather's policy of expansion to the west against the Duchy of Westphalia which was owned by the Archbishops of Cologne.  During the [[War of the Limburg Succession]], he sided with Duke John I of Brabant in the war against Archbishop Siegfried of Westerburg. During this war, Otto destroyed the Cologne city of Hallenberg.  The war ended in the decisive victory of Duke John's side in the [[Battle of Worringen]].  As a result of the war, Otto gained Volksmarsen, half of Kugelsburg and Canstein Castle.  In 1298 Otto acquired the Nordenau Castle and became a threat to the Cologne city of Winterburg.  Count Otto I's efforts led to significant success in expanding the territory controlled by Waldeck.

In 1305, a feud broke out in [[Eichsfeld]], where Otto's enemies, the Lords of Strive and Adelebsen, were opposing the city of Heiligenstadt.  Otto, who had served the [[Archbishopric of Mainz]] as bailiff for Eichsfeld since 1303, was obligated to assist Heiligenstadt.  During this feud, Otto was captured by his enemies, put in a dungeon and strangled against the rules of martial law.  He is buried in the grave chapel of St. Nicholas in the Marienthal monastery in Netze, next to his parents and grandparents.  His grave slab is the oldest monument still preserved in the monastery.  The monastery had been donated by the Waldeck family in 1228.  Otto's father Henry III was the first member of the Waldeck family to be buried there.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.waldecker-muenzen.de/Regent_Beschreibung_Otto%2BI._4_1.1.html|title=Waldecker Münzen))</ref>
