Thietmar, Count Of Merseburg
Thietmar (I) (also ''Thiatmar'', ''Dietmar'', or ''Thiommar'') (died 1 June 932), Count and Margrave, was the military tutor (''vir disciplinae militaris peritissmus'') of Henry the Fowler while he was the heir and then duke of the Duchy of Saxony. He probably kept a small body of elite retainers (though he once feigned at having thirty legions behind him) armed with the latest in military technology and well-supplied with expensive horses. His armored cavalry played a decisive role in winning the Battle of Lenzen on 4 September 929, securing German domination along the Elbe river against West Slavic peoples. He married Hildegard, the maternal aunt of Hatheburg of Merseburg, first wife of Henry the Fowler. Thietmar's wife left him two sons, Siegfried, Count of Merseburg, and Gero the Great. His daughter, Hidda, married Christian of Thuringia and was the mother of Thietmar, Margrave of Meissen, Archbishop Gero of Cologne and Odo I, Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark Odo (or Hodo) I (a ...

The couple had one son: Gero II, who in 993 would succeed Thietmar's brother, Odo, as Margrave of the Saxon Eastern March.

Thietmar, Margrave Of The Saxon Ostmark
Thietmar (IV) (born ca. 990; died 10 January 1030) was the Count of the Schwabengau and Nordthüringgau from 1010 and the Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark from 1015 until his death. He was the son and successor of Margrave Gero II. His mother was Adelaide. In 1028, the Ostmark, with the rest of the eastern marches of the Duchy of Saxony fell under attack from Mieszko II of Poland. The Emperor Conrad II rushed from central Saxony and trekked over very wild terrain to besiege the Poles in Bautzen. Meanwhile, Bretislaus, son of Oldrich of Bohemia, invaded and conquered the March of Moravia, which had been lost to Bohemia since 1003. Conrad, however, failed to take Bautzen (1029) and returned to the Rhineland by wintertime, leaving the defences of the realm in the hands of Dietrich II of Wettin and Thietmar, who died early in January. On his death, Mieszko attacked and destroyed some hundred German villages. The setback was severe: the east of the Ostmark was lost. He was burie ...

Thietmar Of Minden
Saint Thietmar (''Dietmar, Thiemo'') of Minden was bishop of Minden from 1185 or 1186 until his death in 1206. According to tradition, Thietmar was from Bavaria. It was Thietmar's custom to eat only bread and water, although this practice physically weakened him. A miracle recorded of him states that one day, when water from the well was brought to him by a servant, it had become wine. The bishop rejected the wine and asked for water again. When he received wine again, Thietmar began to distrust his servant. The bishop accompanied the servant to the well. When the servant scooped up water, it again transformed itself into wine.

Thietmar (pilgrim)
Thietmar or Dithmar was a German Christian pilgrim who visited the Holy Land in 1217–1218 and wrote an account of his travels, the . According to his own account, Thietmar and a group of pilgrims set out from Germany "signed with and protected by the cross".Denys Pringle, ''Pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the Holy Land, 1187–1291'' (Ashgate, 2012), pp. 27–29. This would seem to indicate that he was a crusader, a conclusion accepted by Jaroslav Folda,Jaroslav Folda, ''Crusader Art in the Holy Land, From the Third Crusade to the Fall of Acre, 1187–1291'' (Cambridge University Press, 2005), pp. 121–124 and nn. but his account indicates that he was an unarmed pilgrim. From his work it can be seen that he was an educated man. He is sometimes called ''magister'' (teacher, German ), but the better manuscript tradition does not contain this word. He was probably a churchman from Westphalia and the leader of his group. He has been called a Franciscan friar, but the ''Chronicle'' of ...
