Konrad von Hirscheck

Konrad von Hirscheck , also Konrad von Hirschegg († October 24, 1167 in Augsburg ) was a German bishop in Augsburg from 1152 to 1167. This was descended from the First family, who lived in Hirschegg Castle near Eichstegen .

Before being elected bishop, Konrad von Hirscheck was a deacon at Constance Cathedral and later founded the Heilig Kreuz monastery in Augsburg around 1160 . Since the bishop also held the office of town lord, Friedrich Barbarossa handed him the town charter in 1156 . This is the second oldest written German city law . During the secularization, the document came into the possession of the Bavarian state and is now stored in the Augsburg State Archives (holdings: Hochstift Augsburg documents).
