Konrad Altheimer
Konrad Altheimer (* 1431 in Weißenburg , Franconia ; † November 20, 1509 in Olomouc ) was 1490-1497 administrator of the Olomouc bishopric and from 1498 auxiliary bishop in Olomouc. From 1493 to 1504 he held the office of dean of the Olomouc cathedral chapter . He also wrote a description of the country of Moravia .
Life
Konrad Altheimer studied in Italy and in Vienna , where it is recorded for the first time for the year 1450 in the university registers. From 1457 to 1460 he worked as a master's degree at the University of Vienna . It was probably during these years that he received a canonical from the St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna , to which he resigned in 1508. Since 1467 he also had canons in Olomouc, where he was promoted to archdeacon in 1490 .
After the resignation of the Olomouc administrator Johann Filipec in 1490, the canons Konrad Altheimer, Daniel von Kosteletz and Johann von Jamnitz were again entrusted with an administration, since the bishops Ardicino della Porta (1489–1492) and Johannes XV. Borgia (1493–1497) did not reside in Olomouc. In 1493 Konrad Altheimer was promoted to dean of the cathedral chapter. After Bishop Stanislaus Thurzo took office in 1497, Konrad Altheimer was appointed auxiliary bishop in 1498. In 1500 he resigned to the archdeaconate, in 1504 to the deaconate.
Konrad Altheimer achieved literary importance through a description of the country of Moravia, which he wrote between 1504 and 1509 under the title "De origine, moribus et vestitu Hannatorum", but did not publish it. The manuscript, which was found briefly in the 18th century, has since disappeared.
