Otto sided with the emperor and against the counts of Holland and the dukes of Brabant. He supported Louis II van Loon during the Loon War and in 1190 he was named the first count of Gelre and Zutphen. The relevant certificate is the city letter to Zutphen. Otto was the first city in Gelderland to grant Zutphen city rights. His son Gerard III and grandson Otto II would use this Zutphen right as a model for the city privileges of various other Gelderland cities, making Zutphen the mother city of the Gelderland county.

Leben [Bearbeiten]

Otto war Sohn des Grafen Heinrich I. von Geldern. Er heiratete um 1185 Richardis von Scheyern-Wittelsbach (* 1173; † 1231), die Tochter des Herzogs Otto I. von Bayern.

Er nahm am Kreuzzug seines Kaisers Friedrich Barbarossa teil und zeichnete sich bei der Eroberung Ikonions besonders aus. Nach dem plötzlichen Tod des Kaisers zerfiel das Kreuzfahrerheer und etliche Kreuzfahrer kehrten in die Heimat zurück. Otto aber reiste mit einer Gruppe nach Syrien und Palästina weiter. Im Heiligen Land schloss er sich Guido von Lusignan, dem König von Jerusalem, an, der gerade die Stadt Akkon belagerte. Als sich die verlustreiche Belagerung von Akkon hinzog, reiste Otto 1190 wieder in die Heimat zurück. Er ist der einzige niederländische Adlige dessen lebende Rückkehr vom Dritten Kreuzzug bezeugt ist.[1]

Otto stritt häufig mit der Grafschaft Holland, und wurde im Bistum Utrecht zurückgedrängt. Oft stand er auch gegen Brabant, verbündete sich mit Limburg und geriet dabei zeitweilig in Gefangenschaft. Er kämpfte gegen die Friesen und hielt weitgehend seine Positionen. Im deutschen Thronkrieg (ab 1198) stand er auf Seite der Staufer.

Otto I. von Geldern liegt im Kloster Kamp begraben.
