Wolf Konrad von Rechberg
Wolf Konrad von Rechberg and Staufeneck and Weißenstein and Kellmünz zu Türkheim-Schwabeck , Lord and (from 1597) Freiherr and (from 1607) Count von Rechberg and Staufeneck and Weißenstein and Kellmünz zu Türkheim-Schwabeck, († 1617 in Jetzendorf ) was a Bavarian Nobleman.
After the Kronburger line died out, Wolf Konrad inherited the dominions of Weißenstein and Kellmünz . In 1597, Emperor Rudolf II raised him to the rank of baron and in 1607 received the title of count. He is thus the first count from the Rechberg family . He also has a number of Bavarian offices and medals. Wolf Konrad has a small but splendid court in Weißenstein . He embellished the castle there , built the stepped gables, towers, bay windows and galleries and carried out the panel construction, which was only demolished in 1864 and converted into a terrace. Wolf Konrad usually stays in Jetzendorf in Bavaria, where he acquired the brewing rights from Duke Maximilian in 1617 and where he is buried, as does his son Wilhelm Leo, who only survived him by a year († 1618).
