Konrad II of Tegerfelden

Konrad II of Tegerfelden (in a Weißenau manuscript from the 13th century)

Konrad von Tegerfelden (* 12th century; † 1233 ) was as Konrad II from 1209 to 1233 Bishop of Constance .

Konrad von Tegerfelden came from the Aargau baron family of the Tegerfelden . His uncle Ulrich von Tegerfelden , who was abbot of the monastery of St. Gallen from 1167 to 1199 and also bishop of Chur from 1171 to 1179 , was a famous representative of this family.

Konrad was a son of Liutold II von Tegerfelden and his wife Hedwig. His brother Walter von Tegerfelden , also Waltherus III. , (1215–1254) died in 1254 without male offspring. His daughter Ita (1228–1248) –1255) brought the inheritance through marriage to Ulrich von Klingen , the founder of the town of Klingnau . In 1276 the former property of the Tegerfeldner came to the monastery of St. Blasien . The Habsburgs also owned some goods and also exercised high jurisdiction . In 1176 Konrad became canon of Constance, from 1184 cathedral dean and from 1200 provost .

In September 1212 Konrad played an important role in connection with the impending throne dispute between Friedrich II. And Emperor Otto IV. The bishop let the Staufer, who started in Sicily in March 1212 and with great difficulty in the northern part of the empire, move into the city for a few hours before Otto IV arrived in Constance with the leaders of his army. The die had already been unconsciously cast. In December of the same year, the princes in Frankfurt, who were loyal to the Hohenstaufen, elected young Frederick as Roman-German king and crowned him a few days later.

He was bishop of Constance from 1209 until his death in 1233. Konrad was a participant in the Lateran Council of 1215, to which Pope Innocent III. had also invited over 1,200 bishops and abbots.

Bishop Konrad was immortalized on coins from the episcopal mint in Constance.
