Kind(eren):
ADOLF [II] (-12 Oct after 1160, bur Altenberg). "Adulfus iunioremi" is named, and his parentage given, in the Annalista Saxo[113]. Vogt von Werden: Otto Abbot of Werden confirmed the donation made by "vir nobilis...Thuringus postquam filium suum...unicum...in bello contra Fresones perdidit...et uxori sue...Beynguir...et filie...Bertrade" by charter dated 1093 at “Mulenheim in placito Bernheri comitis” by “comite de Cleue Thiderico vice advocati ecclesie nostra Adolphi qui tunc temporis puer erat”, witnessed by "Comes Thidericus...Conradus de Mulenheym et fratres eius Wedgerus et Lambertus..."[114]. Graf von Berg. "Liberi: Tiedrich comes de Ara, Gerart de Guileche, Gerart de Blanchinheim, Gerard de Hohstade, Adolf comes de Saphinberk, Adolf de Berge, Engelbreit de Kente..." witnessed the charter dated 1115 under which Friedrich Archbishop of Köln confirmed revenue and tolls to Münstereisel[115]. Lüdbert Abbot of Werden and "domnum Thuringum" confirmed “precarii nostri in Dale” to Werden by charter dated 1115, witnessed by “Adolfus advocatus noster...Euerhardus frater eius, Bernherus comes...”[116]. Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln donated property to Kloster Siegburg by charter dated 1116 witnessed by "Franco burgicomes, comes Fridericus de Arnesberg, comes Adolfus de Monte, Theodericus de Gladbach, Arnulfus de Odenkirche…"[117]. Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln confirmed donations to Kloster Siegburg by charter dated 29 Mar 1117 witnessed by "Comes Fridericus de Arnesburg, Comes Adolfus de Monte, Comes Adolfus de Saphfenberg, Comes Gerhardus de Iuliaco, Theodericus de Gladebach et Edelgerus frater eius…"[118]. Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln confirmed the dismissal of "comes Gerhardus et frater eius Heinricus" from the Vogteischaft of Kloster Siegburg by charter dated 5 Apr 1118 witnessed by "Comes Gerhardus et frater eius Heinricus, Comes Adolfus de Monte, Comes Adolfus de Saphenberg, Comes Gerhardus de Iuliaco, Gerhardus iunior filius Gerhardi, Gerhardus de Caesle, Arnulfus de Odenkirche"[119]. Vogt von Dunwald: Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln confirmed donations to Kloster Dunwald and shared the Vogteischaft with "comitis Adolphi" by charter dated 1118 witnessed by "Adolfus comes de Monte et frater eius Euerhardus, Gerardus comes de Wassenberg […et filius eius Gerardus], Theodericus comes de Thonburch, Theodericus comes de Ara, domnus Goswinus de Hennesberg et frater eius Gerardus…Gerardus de Wyckerode…"[120]. Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln donated Kloster Rolandswerth on an island in the river Rhine to Kloster Siegburg by charter dated 1 Aug 1126 witnessed by "Tiedericus comes de Are, Adolfus comes de Berge, Adolfus comes de Safenberg, Arnoldus comes de Cleue, Cunradus comes de Bunna, Gerardus comes de Iuleche et filius eius Gerardus, Gerardus comes de Hostade…"[121]. Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln confirmed a donation to Kloster Siegburg by charter dated 1129 witnessed by "…Liberi. Paganus dux, Franco burgicomes, Gerhardus comes de Gelre, Adolfus comes de Monte, Adolfus comes de Saffenberg…"[122]. He founded the Cistercian Kloster Altenberg in 1133. Wolbero Abbot of Köln St. Pantaleon restored "subadvocat[um] in villa nostra Huttorp", removed from “subadvocatus...Gumpertus cum matre sua Gerdrude”, to “comite Adolpho” by charter dated to [1151/53], witnessed by “ipse comes Adolphus, filius eius Euerhardus...”[123]. "Adolfus comes de Monte" confirmed a donation to Köln St Pancraz by charter dated 1160 witnessed by "meus filius…Engilbertus…"[124]. Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that “Adulphus...comes de Altena” founded “cenobium Montis Veteris” and was buried there[125]. A memorial in Altenburg records the death “IV Id Oct” 1152 of “Adolphus ex comite monachus et fundator hujus cœnobii”[126], although if the 1160 charter is correctly dated the year is incorrect.
m firstly ([before 1115]) ADELHEID, daughter of [GOTTFRIED [I] Graf von Cappenberg] & his wife Beatrix von Hildrizhausen]. Adelheid is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[127] as the daughter of Gottfried [I] Graf von Cappenberg and his wife Beatrix von Hildrizhausen. However, another table[128] shows Adelheid as the daughter of Beatrix by her second husband Heinrich Graf von Rietberg. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. It is not therefore possible at this moment to judge which version is more likely to be correct. The answer may lie in the transmisison of the advocatiam of Werden abbey, previously held by Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg and which the following charter was transmitted to Adolf [II] Graf von Berg: Lüdbert Abbot of Werden and "domnum Thuringum" confirmed “precarii nostri in Dale” to Werden by charter dated 1115, witnessed by “Adolfus advocatus noster...Euerhardus frater eius, Bernherus comes...”[129]. It appears probable therefore that Adelheid was the daughter of Graf Gottfried [I] and that the advocatiam of Werden was her dowry. If that is correct, Adelheid presumably married before the date of this charter. It should be noted that Adolf was recorded as Vogt of Werden in 1093 when he was still a boy (see above), which suggests that arrnagements for the marriage were made when the parties were children.
m secondly ([1130]) [--- von Sponheim, daughter of ENGELBERT [II] von Sponheim Marchese of Istria, Duke of Carinthia & his wife Uta von Passau [Ratpotonen]]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitissa Mathildis Campaniensis et uxor Renaldi comitis Nivernensis et comitissa Montis Veteris iuxta Coloniam et mater illorum Romanorum qui Froiepain dicuntur" as sisters of "archiepiscopi Coloniensis Frederici"[130]. In the case of the two sisters named first, other sources confirm that they were daughters of Engelbert Marchese of Istria, Duke of Carinthia. It is possible therefore that the other two named sisters (of which the countess of Berg was one) were also Engelbert’s daughters. Ascertaining the precise family relationship between all four presumed sisters and Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln depends on interpreting apparently contradictory sources which link the archbishop with the Sponheim and Schwarzenberg/Regensberg families, a problem which is discussed in detail in the document BAVARIA NOBILITY. Europäische Stammtafeln indicates that Adolf [II]’s second wife was the daughter of Engelbert, son of Berthold [I] [von Schwarzenberg][131]. No primary source has been identified which confirms that this is correct: it is presumably consistent with another theory about the origin of Archbishop Friedrich.

ADOLF ([after 1128/30]-killed in battle Damascus [24/28] Jul 1148).

ADOLF von Berg (-1197 or after).
FRIEDRICH (-Pavia 15 Dec 1158, bur Kloster Altenberg).
ENGELBERT von Berg (-Brančevo, Serbia Jul 1189)
BRUNO (-23 Apr 1196, bur Altenberg).
