Egeno II of Konradsburg
Egeno II von Konradsburg (also Conradsburg ) was the grandson of Egeno I from the noble family von Konradsburg , in the northeast of the Harz , near Ermsleben .
Around 1080 (after 1076, before 1083) Egeno II killed Count Adalbert II von Ballenstedt from the Askanians (Vogt von Nienburg and Hagenrode ; imprisoned 1075-1077) near Westdorf near Aschersleben . The reasons for this murder are not clear. One suspects political reasons or that Egeno had appropriated Ascanian property during Adalbert's captivity and the two therefore fell into a feud . The Konradsburgs had to convert their ancestral seat, the Konradsburg , into a Benedictine monastery or Augustinian canons as atonement for the murder . According to a legend, the stone cross Westdorf reminds of the deed.
From 1115 the Lords of Konradsburg destroyed the old Falkenstein and built the new Falkenstein Castle , where the Saxon mirror was probably written a hundred years later on behalf of Count Hoyer von Falkenstein . In 1142 the Lords of Konradsburg called themselves “von Konradsburg” for the last time, then “von Falkenstein”.
