Gottfried von Hohenlohe

Gottfried von Hohenlohe (c. 1265 – 19 November 1310) was a German nobleman who served as the 14th Grand Master of the Teutonic Order from 1297 until his resignation in 1303.

As a close associate of Grand Master Konrad von Feuchtwangen, he was chosen as his successor by the capitulum in Venice in 1297.

Hohenlohe was regarded as passive concerning further involvement of the Teutonic Order in Prussia and Livonia, as well as not having listened to requests made by these provinces.

The order's capitulum assembled in Memel requested Hohenlohe's resignation, which he signed in Elbing on October 18, 1303.

He tried to reestablish himself as grand master, but this claim was rejected by his fellow knight-brothers, who had selected Siegfried von Feuchtwangen.
