Heinrich VI of Hohenberg

Heinrich VI of Hohenberg (1277–1353) ruled the Imperial Abbey of Fulda as prince-abbot from 1315 until his death. When he built a second castle inside the town in 1319–1320, the citizens, helped by the abbey's high advocate Count Johann I of Ziegenhain, stormed and destroyed it. He fled to Emperor Louis the Bavarian, who outlawed the town and the count.

In 1326 Heinrich raised the city's annual tax from 100 to 800 pounds for seven years. When he tried again in 1330 and met resistance, he imprisoned wealthy citizens and demanded 9500 pounds for their release.

The citizens rose in 1331, but his ministeriales crushed them. In the peace mediated by Archbishop Baldwin of Trier, the citizens rebuilt the castle and paid heavy fines, the revolt's leaders were executed, and Fulda received a council and a mayor.
