Konrad von Brydschede

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konrad von Breitscheid (* approx. 1345, † after 1390) was a university professor of the liberal arts .

Life

Konrad von Breitscheid probably came from a family of ministers (ministerials) of the Werden monastery . Breitscheid was an honor (peasantry) in the municipality of Mintard . Around 1363 he enrolled at Charles University in Prague . Here he completed his studies in the Seven Liberal Arts in 1368 with a bachelor's degree . At which university he continued his studies is unclear. South of France or the University of the Roman Curia are possible . In any case, he received his master's degree there, because with this degree he returned to Prague in 1378. Here he was employed as a lecturer for Artes and studied theology at the same time. In 1386 he was appointed to the newly opened University of Heidelberg , where he arrived in 1387. In 1388 he was one of the founding professors of the University of Cologne . He taught Artes at both universities and continued to study theology in Cologne. To finance it, he (probably members of the noble Linnep family ) was given a canon of priests at the elegant St. Gereon Abbey in Cologne and the Mintard parish . Ordination was a prerequisite for these benefices. He was able to show this (1389). He had the parish provided by a deputy. The last known document for him is from 1390.
