Cono von Waldburg , also Cuno or Kuno , also Kuno Truchsess von Waldburg-Thann , (* before 1108, † 1132 ) was abbot of the Weingarten monastery .
family
Cono von Waldburg was the first member of the Waldburg family known by name .
A Gebhard von Waldburg has also been named for the year 1123.
Heinrich (1140–1173) and Friedrich (1147–1183) von Waldburg are possibly the sons of a brother of Abbot Cono. With the death of the two, the older Waldburg house in the male line became extinct.
Life
From 1108 until his death in 1132 he was the fifth abbot of the Weingarten monastery , a monastery founded by the Guelphs around 1047/56 , as the successor to Abbot Walichos .
He first built the 14 m long Leutkirche and integrated it into an overall monastery complex. From 1124 the high Romanesque, three-aisled pillar basilica was built.
The necrology of the Weingarten monastery emphasizes "his noble customs, his erudition and his success in building the monastery library, for which he also copied books himself". He wrote the Augustine Commentary and probably the Genealogia Welforum .
