Konrad von Feuchtwangen

Konrad von Feuchtwangen (English: Conrad of Feuchtwangen) (before 1230 – 4 July 1296 in Prague) was the 13th Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights from 1290 to 1296.

He was probably descended from a ministerial family connected with the comitial noble house of Oettingen, though just how is still uncertain; certainly his successor as Grand Master, Siegfried von Feuchtwangen, belonged to this family.

[1] Konrad von Feuchtwangen's name first appears in record in 1259 as Landkomtur (District Commander) of Austria.

[2] In 1258/1264 the first notices "frater Conradus de Viuchtban/Vuchtwang appear when he was the Commander of Zschillen (Wechselburg bei Chemnitz); in 1259 und 1271–1279 he was District Commander of the bailiwick of Austria; in 1279–1280 District Master of Prussia; in 1279–1281 District Master of Livonia; in 1284–1290 "German Master" (District Master of all bailiwicks within the borders of the Holy Roman Empire); in 1287 Commander of Mergentheim.

Konrad von Feuchtwangen was interred in the Church of the Teutonic Order (German: Deutschordenskirche) in Dobrovítov near Kutná Hora in Bohemia.
