Engelbert II of Berg was a 13th-century German prelate who served as the Archbishop of Cologne. Born at Schloss Burg around 1185 or 1186, he was a member of the Berg noble family. Throughout his career, he acted as a powerful political figure, serving as imperial regent and guardian for the future Emperor Henry. Known for his vigorous efforts to secure the territories and legal rights of his archdiocese, he was eventually murdered in 1225 by a relative during a dispute over justice.
