This gave rise to a dispute with Archbishop Henry II of Cologne, who argued that the castle was located in Westphalia, which he held.
Henry IV argued that his family had held a castle on that site for a long time, and he was just rebuilding it.
Bishop Louis II of Münster, who was a member of the House of Hesse and thus a distant relative of Henry IV, nevertheless ruled that the occupation of Marsberg was justified and that Cologne was entitled to demolish Wetterburg Castle.
In 1325, a compromise was reached, in which Waldeck and Cologne would share ownership of Wetterburg Castle[1] For unknown reasons, Henry IV was taken prisoner by Archbishop Peter of Mainz in 1307.
A deed sealed by King Albert I of Germany from March 1308 mentions that Peter and Henry IV have reconciled their differences.
In 1315, Henry IV and Count William of Arnsberg divided the County of Rüdenberg, which until then they had administered jointly, between themselves.
With the consent of his sons an inheritance contract was completed, which provided that in future the county would not be divided and there could only be a single of Count of Waldeck at any one time.
