Konrad von Lintorff
Konrad von Lintorff (* before 1405; † 1462 probably in Wittstock / Dosse ) was a Roman Catholic bishop of Havelberg in the 15th century until his resignation in 1460 .
Konrad von Lintorff is mentioned for the first time as provost in Wittstock in the year of his election as Bishop of Havelberg. After his election by the cathedral chapter and recognition by the Pope, he issued a new church order for the diocese. Konrad von Lintorff achieved ecclesiastical significance through the Nikolaikirche in Bad Wilsnack, which is under the patronage of the diocese . The host miracle of 1383 had led to a significant upswing in the region by the pilgrims, but was denied to the suffragan by the Archdiocese of Magdeburg . The Electors of Brandenburg, however, stood on the side of the Bishops of Havelberg. A prominent representative of the critical party from Magdeburg was the reform theologian Heinrich Tocke . From 1443 on, his special fight was against the blood miracle of Wilsnack, which was sponsored by the Magdeburg suffragan diocese . The support received in this fight from the papal legate Nikolaus von Kues , who even forbade the pilgrimage to Wilsnack in 1451 , did not make these efforts successful. After a series of mutual excommunications between Magdeburg and Havelberg, Pope Nicholas V ended the dispute in March 1453 and granted the Brandenburg Elector Friedrich II , who was personally present in Rome at the time, a number of privileges, including a new confirmation of the pilgrimage to the Holy Blood of Wilsnack. Konrad von Lintorff was a close advisor to the Brandenburg electors, who provided his own house in Berlin. He resigned as Bishop of Havelberg in 1460. The resignation was accepted by Pope Pius II .
