Thietmar, Margrave of Meissen
- Thietmar, Margrave of Meissen
Thietmar (III) (c. 925 – 3 August 979) was the Margrave of Meissen from 970 until his death. Thietmar was the eldest of three brothers, all sons of Hidda and Christian of Thuringia. His brothers were Gero, Archbishop of Cologne, and Odo I, Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark.
On 29 August 970, Thietmar and Gero founded the monastery of Thankmarsfeld. [Bernhardt, 170.] Between 971 and 975, it became a royal monastery. It was moved to Nienburg on the Saale at the mouth of the Bode in 975 and that is where Thietmar is buried. In the years which followed, Thietmar and Gero made further donations of land to the monastery. [Ibid, 171.]
In 951, he was first recorded as Count of Gau Serimunt. Between 951 and 978, he was the Count of Schwabengau. He married Schwanehilde (Suanhild), daughter of Herman, Duke of Saxony, and had one son: Gero II, Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark. Thietmar was succeeded by Ricdag.
