Henry I, German: Heinrich I (after 1180 - 2 July 1231) from the House of Zähringen was margrave of Baden-Hachberg. He was the founder of the Baden-Hachenberg branch.

Life

He was the second son of Herman IV, Margrave of Baden and Bertha of Tübingen, daughter of Ludwig, Count Palatine of Tübingen. His elder brother was Herman V, Margrave of Baden-Baden (born c. 1180). Younger siblings were Friedrich (c. 1187 - 1217), Jutta and Bertha.

His father joined Frederick I in his Italian campaigns and in the Third Crusade. He travelled through Asia Minor to Antioch, where he died in camp from disease in 1190. Herman V succeeded him in Baden-Baden, while Henry I received Baden-Hachberg. Herman V followed Frederick II in Italy, in Egypt (where he went into captivity), and in the Fifth and Sixth Crusade.

Henry I was the first in his line of the House of Zähringen to style himself Margrave of Hachberg. He died in 1231 and succeeded by his son Henry II who was a minor at the time. Henry II initially stood under the guardianship of his mother. In 1232, he purchased the Lordship of Sausenburg from St. Blaise Abbey and soon afterwards, he built Sausenburg Castle, which was first mentioned in 1246.[1]
