Uta of Schauenburg (c. 1115/1120 – c. 1197) was sovereign countess of Schauenburg from 1151 to 1197. She was the daughter of Godfrey of Calw (Gottfried von Calw) and was one of the richest heiresses in Germany.[1] After her father's death a harsh succession war was solved in her favour by the nephew of her husband Welf VI, Friedrich Barbarossa, in 1151.[1] She was the founder of All Saints' Abbey in Baden-Württemberg.
