Godfrey VI (1262–1304) became Count of Ziegenhain in 1272, first under his mother Hedwig's regency. In 1274 he was betrothed to Mechthild, daughter of Henry I of Hesse, whom he married in 1282. As a Mainz burgmann at Amöneburg he fought his future father-in-law and was defeated at Fritzlar in 1280.

In 1288 he fought for the Duke of Brabant at the Battle of Worringen against Cologne. He died on 30 November 1304, leaving his son John under Mechthild's regency until 1309.
