Heinrich von Plötzke [SEP] date of death
Heinrich von Plötzke
Heinrich von Plötzke ( 1264 in Płock, Masovia, Poland – 27 July 1320 in Medininkai, Lithuania) was an officer of the Teutonic Order during the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Born in Płock ("Plotzk") in the independent Duchy of Masovia, (now Poland), he was a descendant of the hereditary dukes of Plock but never took the formal title due to the conflict of his family with the ruling Piast dynasty of Poland.
Heinrich was the Komtur of Altenburg in 1286
along the Vistula river. His successors completed the conquest of the country under considerable setbacks and established the protection of the districts and the defeat of rebellious Prussians in fortified houses, the forerunners of the later brick fortresses known as Ordensburgs. The last Landmeister of Prussia residing in Elbing was Heinrich von Plötzke. In 1309, after the death of Plötzke, the office was united with that of the then grandmaster Siegfried von Feuchtwangen residing in Marburg Castle.
