Conrad de Lichtenberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conrad de Lichtenberg (1240 – 1299) was a bishop of Strasbourg in the 13th century.
Lichtenberg was born to a wealthy family and entered the clergy at the age of 13. He was elected Bishop of Strasbourg in 1273.
Credit is given to Lichtenberg for the construction of the Western facade of Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, realized by French architect Erwin von Steinbach (1244-1318). Lichtenberg is buried there in Chapel Saint Jean.
