Konrad II. (Waldsassen)

Konrad II. († around 1417/1419) was abbot of the Waldsassen monastery from 1393 to 1417.

Abbot Konrad II worked in the Waldsassen monastery from 1393 or 1394 . After Kaspar Brusch he died in 1419. Before he was appointed abbot, he was a cellar master. Despite a lack of education, he was in demand as a princely and royal advisor. He is in the wake of the participants in the Council of Constance . His leg was struck by lightning during his travels, it has been paralyzed since then and the foot had to be removed. Because of his frequent absences, his monastery brothers complained to the abbots of Langheim and Walkenried , which led to the appointment of Bartholomäus Ermesreither. Konrad II sought support from Count Palatine Johann , Bartholomäus, however, from Nuremberg Burgrave Johann III. The abbot of Morimond , on the other hand, appointed gold from the Langheim monastery as the new abbot John VI. The Council Fathers decided on February 7, 1415 that the aging Conrad II Bartholomew should stand by his side as coadjutor. John (VI.) Was resigned after 15 months as an abbot.
