Official account of the city of Bolzano from 1471 (Hs. 173 of the Bolzano City Archives) with the city coat of arms, created under BM Konrad Lerhueber

Konrad Lerhueber (also Konrad Lerhuber ) was a mayor of the city of Bolzano in the second half of the 15th century. He is attested as the highest municipal official in 1471/72 and presumably died soon after 1475.

Lerhuebers is significant because of the creation of the Bozen City Book , a comprehensive book of municipal offices and privileges continued until 1525 , which he initiated in January 1472 and which is considered "an impressive testimony to municipal constitutional law" and "contains central principles for the history of the city of Bolzano".

He also created the municipal accounting book on business conduct from 1471 (Hs. 173 of the Bolzano City Archives); On the frontispiece it bears the earliest painted representation of the Bolzano city ​​arms , the appearance of which adopts the Austrian shield , but with mixed up tinctures (white-red-white) and with a golden, six-pointed star on the red central bar.
