Ulrich II, Lord of Hanau

Ulrich II (c. 1288–1346) was Lord of Hanau from 1305/1306. In 1314 he attended Emperor Louis IV's election in Frankfurt, afterwards helping to pacify the Wetterau by settling noble feuds in courts.

He enlarged his lordship by buying judicial rights over Brandenstein and half of Schlüchtern, holding Bornheimerberg as an imperial mortgage, and gaining extensive Rieneck lands after an inheritance dispute in 1333. In 1339 he decreed primogeniture in Hanau, among the earliest such laws in Germany. He died on 23 September 1346.
