Otto of Hesse

Otto of Hesse (1301 – 30 April 1361) was Archbishop of Magdeburg from 1327 until his death. A son of Landgrave Otto I of Hesse and grandson of Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia, he was designated for the see by Pope John XXII.

He reconciled Magdeburg, under the imperial ban after citizens murdered his predecessor Burchard III in 1325, and in 1333 received the city's homage. He settled border disputes with Brandenburg and withstood a revolt of the nobility, dying at Wolmirstedt in 1361.
