Bernhard von Werl was Count of the western Hellweg and eastern Münsterland regions. He may also have been bailiff of Essen Abbey around 1027. According to research by Paul Leidinger, it is not certain whether he was actually the founder of the line of counts of Hövel, as Hömberg believes, under the name Bernhard von Werl-Hövel.[1]
