Gero II (c. 975 – 1 September 1015 at Krosno Odrzańskie) was the eldest son of Thietmar, Margrave of Meissen, and Schwanehilde (Suanhild), daughter of Herman, Duke of Saxony.[1] He was therefore probably a grandson of Hidda and Christian of Thuringia and named for his great-uncle Gero the Great. He succeeded his probable uncle, Hodo, as Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark including Mark Lausitz (Lusatia) in 993 upon the death of margrave of Lusatia Hodo or Odo I, Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark.
Gero was created Count of Hassegau in 992 and became margrave of Lausitz (Lusatia) the following year.[2] He died in his territory in battle with a Polish army of Boleslaw I in Gau Diadesi and was buried at Nienburg.[1][2] He was survived by his wife, Adelaide (Athelheidhe), and his only son, Thietmar, who succeeded him in office.[1][2]
