Konrad von Geisenheim
Konrad von Geisenheim (also: Gysenheim, Giesenheim, Beymondi ; * Geisenheim ; † May 30, 1386 in Lübeck ) was a German diplomat and as Konrad III. Bishop of Lübeck .
Life
Konrad came from the Geisenheim family. Destined to be a clergyman, he can be found as a cleric in the Diocese of Mainz. Presumably he was a canon in Mainz , he became protonotary of Charles IV in 1358 and took over the management of the Reich Chancellery as Chancellor in 1370. He also held this position under the Roman-German King Wenceslaus and was often on the road in that capacity in diplomatic services at the papal court. At the imperial court he had obtained some benefices through the favor of the potentates.
He can be traced back as dean of the cathedral in Speyer and provost in Bamberg and was appointed by Pope Urban VI at the suggestion of the emperor . appointed Bishop of Lübeck on March 19, 1379. After being inducted into office on April 22nd, he held his first mass on May 19th. Until December 1384, however, he also remained active in the Reich Chancellery, while he delegated his episcopal tasks to his brother Johann von Geisenheim and Johannes von Klenedenst . In 1385 he seems to have withdrawn completely to Lübeck, where he died the following year and was buried in Lübeck Cathedral . His tomb there has not been preserved.
