Werner I, Bishop of Strasbourg was bishop of Strasbourg. He died on 28 October 1028, was a son of Lanzelin of Klettgau, and also the brother of Radbot of Klettgau, founder of the Habsburg dynasty. He was close to the later German Emperor Henry II, whom he helped to be elected king (1002). As proof of his favor, he received the Abbey of St. Stephen in Strasbourg in 1003, the Abbey of Schwarzach (Bavaria) in 1014, and a wild ban in Alsace in 1017. Often found in the emperor's entourage, H. fought for him against King Rudolf III of Burgundy around 1020. of Burgundy. Later he was a supporter of King Conrad II and accompanied him to his imperial coronation in Rome in 1027, then as a marriage broker envoy to Constantinople. His name is linked to the founding of the Muri monastery and the construction of H. Castle. H. is mentioned in the so-called will of Bishop Wernher of Strassburg (1027) as an early Habsburg, and in the Acta Murensia as a member of Lorraine Ducal House issued. His relationship with the House of H. is controversially discussed in recent literature.^[1]
