Conrad of Lichtenau

Conrad of Lichtenau (died 1240) was a German nobleman and priest who served as provost of Ursberg Abbey from 1230 or 1231 until his death.

Conrad descended from a noble family from Lichtenau in the Duchy of Swabia.

It was probably there that he became a canon regular, afterwards to enter the Premonstratensian Order.

For many years, Conrad was believed to be the only author of the Chronicon Urspergense, a chronicle of world history for the time of King Ninus of Assyria to AD 1229.

Conrad himself continued the work to 1229 and made the final redaction.
