The counts of Bilstein played a prominent role in Thuringia from 967 to 1301 and were third after the Ekkehardinger and Weimar-Orlamünde in terms of power and influence.

For a time he was also the Margrave of Merseburg and possible also of the March of Meissen. He had extensive estates — Langensalza, Mühlhausen, Schlotheim, Frieda, Dornburg an der Saale, and Eschwege — and comital authority in the Eichsfeld and the middle Werra.
