Castle Wirtemberg (around 1600) on a postcard of 1920
'Konrad II' (unknown - 1143),
Count of
Württemberg. He reigned from
1110 until
1143.
Konrad's father is unknown, but he is believed to belong to the family of the counts of Veringen (
Veringenstadt). The reason to believe so is due to the similarity of the arms of the Counts of Veringen with that of the Counts of Wirtemberg. Thus it is generally assumed that both noble families are related to each other. Konrad's mother Luitgard of
Beutelsbach was a sister of his predecessor
Konrad I.
After the death of Konrad I, he assumed power as heir of castle Wirtemberg. Konrad II appears on
May 12, 1110 together with his wife Hadelwig as donator of properties near
Göppingen to the
monastery Blaubeuren and on December 28, 1122 as a witness of emperor
Heinrich V in
Speyer (the first time as count, the latter without tile but mentioned amongst counts). He died 1143.
