Niklot I, Count of Schwerin

Niklot I (c. 1250–1323) was the youngest son of Count Gunzelin III of Schwerin and Margaret of Mecklenburg. When his father died in 1274, the brothers divided the county and Niklot received Wittenburg, founding the Schwerin-Wittenburg line. He married Elisabeth of Holstein-Kiel, and after her death Miroslawa of Pomerania.

His son Gunzelin VI succeeded as count at Wittenburg, while his daughter Anastasia married Duke Waldemar IV of Schleswig. Niklot died in 1323.
