Konrad zer Sunnen
Konrad zer Sunnen (first mentioned 1355; † between 1396 and 1398) was a Basel politician.
Konrad zer Sunnen (zur Sonnen) sat from 1362 as a representative of the Achtburger in the council of Basel and held the office of the chief guild master in 1373 and 1396. The weakened position of the nobility after the battle of Sempach enabled him to be elected mayor in 1387. He carried out various embassies on behalf of the city of Basel, for example as part of the city's peace efforts in the run-up to the battle of Sempach.
