Ulrich III, Lord of Hanau

Ulrich III (c. 1310–1369/1370) was Lord of Hanau from 1346 and imperial governor in the Wetterau. He lent to Emperor Charles IV and from 1349 received Frankfurt offices as security; with Bornheimerberg these posts encircled the city, whose guild disputes he mediated from 1358.

He attended the Metz and Nuremberg diets of 1356 that issued the Golden Bull. His wife was Adelaide of Nassau, mother of his successor Ulrich IV.
