Gottfried von Arnsberg

Gottfried von Arnsberg (c. 1285–1363), a younger son of Count Ludwig of Arnsberg, was a canon at Münster before his election as bishop of Osnabrück in 1321. In 1327 he renewed his predecessor's protection charter for Osnabrück's Jews.

In 1349 he left to claim the archbishopric of Bremen, contested by Moritz of Oldenburg in the Bremen Feud. Gottfried entered Bremen in 1350, and his rival's defeat in the Hoya Feud in July 1358 briefly left him unchallenged; he resigned the see in 1359 and died in 1363.
