Albert III, Count of Wernigerode

Albert III ruled as count of Wernigerode from 1173 until after 1214 and, like his predecessors, served as Vogt of Drübeck Abbey. The only son of Count Albert II, he married a daughter of the burgrave of Magdeburg.

His sons divided the family lands: Conrad I held the Ambergau with the Drübeck advocacy and Gebhard I the Derlingau and Nordthüringgau. A daughter, Kunigunde, married Count Bernard II of Wölpe.
