Georg I, Count of Veldenz

Georg I von Veldenz (died 1347), son of Heinrich I von Hohengeroldseck and Agnes von Veldenz, inherited the County of Veldenz in 1298 through his mother's line. From 1309 he served the Empire as royal Landvogt in the Speyergau, and from 1321 held an imperial castle-fief at Kaiserslautern.

In 1315 King Louis IV allowed him to fortify Meisenheim and grant it town rights, and he enlarged Schloss Veldenz. He married Agnes von Leiningen; their son Heinrich II succeeded him, while another son, Friedrich I, died as early as 1327.
