Who was Otto von Kerpen?

Otto came from a poor Rhenish knightly family residing in the castle of Kerpen in Kerpen, Rhineland-Palatinate. While Grand Master, he strove to make the Teutonic Knights independent from the older military orders of the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller.
He died in 1208 and was buried in Acre.
