- Konrad_Stürtzel abstract "Konrad Stür(t)zel von Buchheim (Stirtzel, Sterczel) (about 1435 – March 2, 1509) was a German jurist for canon laws (Dr. jur. can.), knight and chancellor of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I.Konrad was born about 1435, the son of a citizen of Kitzingen in Lower Franconia. In 1453 he went to the university of Heidelberg and left as a Master of Arts five years later. In 1460 he was one of the first professors at the young University of Freiburg in Breisgau, which belonged to Austria at that time and became its president for the first time in 1469. At the same time he studied canon law and got his doctor's degree (Dr. jur. can.). In 1478/1479 he again became president of the University of Freiburg.In parallel to his academic functions Konrad was advisor to Sigismund of Austria since 1474, he worked for the Archduke from 1481 and became his chancellor in 1486. When the upper classes of society (Ständegesellschaft) of Tyrol became unsatisfied with his misgovernment Sigismund was compelled to hand over the leadership to King Maximilian I. In 1490 Konrad was significantly involved in setting up the agreement for transfer of power which was probably his greatest political success. Konrad was in attendance on the Roman-German King as his Chancellor of Tyrol. Obviously in return for his support during the negotiations with Sigismund he was ennobled by Frederick III. on January 24, 1488 which was confirmed three years later by his son Maximilian who granted the name Sturzl von Buchen on July 4, 1491 in Nuremberg.The political significance of Chancellor Stürtzel grew as Maximilian put the chancellery in Innsbruck more and more in charge of duties of the Holy Roman Empire. In this role Konrad acted as a delegate of Maximilian negotiating with the Duke of Milan, with the dukedoms Geldern, Friesland and the Swiss. But Maximilian's plan to make the court chancellery (Hofkanzlei) a chancellery of the Empire (Reichskanzlei) got into a grim conflict with Archbishop Berthold who was Elector (Kurfürst) and Archchancellor of the German part of the Empire. This led to a constitutional dispute between the court chancellery, the archchancellery and the estates of the realm (Stände) which Konrad couldn't cope with. As a diplomat he was used to confidential and secret discussions, long and difficult negotiations with convincing arguments, but not to public conflicts with direct and public contestation. At the Imperial Diet (Reichstag) in Lindau 1496-97 and in Augsburg in 1500 he lost and he gave up when the court chancellery was withdrawn from all imperial duties. In 1500 he asked for his retirement and was honorably discharged and allowed to keep his titles until the end of his life. Nevertheless he was mandated for several diplomatic missions after his retirement. All in all it seems that Konrad Stürtzel was more an executive officer than a politician. During his career Stürtzel gained considerable assets. On the one hand, the Chancellor of the court was paid very well, but he also knew how to invest his money profitably. Maximilian borrowed substantial amounts from his chancellor and in 1509 when Stürtzel died the Emperor owed him 10,000 Gulden which was the 25 times Stürtzel's final annual salary.In 1491 he bought the villages Buchheim, Holzhausen and Hugstetten northwest of Freiburg as a fiefdom (Lehen) covering ground, buildings, rights, people, and animals from David Schnewlin von Landeck. In the 1480s he bought seven neighboring houses in the center of Freiburg near the Gothic Münster and rebuilt them (1494–1496) into one large block which was the largest private residence at that time. This was later known as 'Basler Hof' as it belonged from 1587 to the cathedral chapter (Domkapitel) of Basel and after 1651 the government of Further Austria (Vorderösterreich) was located there. From 1933-1941 the Gestapo was located there and it was mainly destroyed in 1944 during World War II. Reconstructed in 1951 it serves today as headquarters of the government of South-Baden.In 1505 Stürtzel commissioned Hans Wydyz to fabricate the Three-Kings-Altar for his residence. It was moved to the Freiburg Münster in the 19th century. In the same year he sponsored a chapel for himself and his descendants in the chorus of the Münster as many wealthy citizens did. He ordered two stained-glass windows with a picture of himself and his six sons and two daughters with his second wife which were drafted by Hans Baldung Grien several years after Konrad's death and finalized by the Ropstein manufactory in 1528. This is the only known picture of the chancellor who died in 1509. The original windows are in bad condition today and can be seen in the Augustiner Museum. They were copied by Fritz Geiges in the 1920s and replaced. Konrad was married twice. His first wife was Elisabeth Griesser and his second wife was Ursula Laucher.His hometown Kitzingen, the city of Freiburg and the village Buchheim nearby named a street after him.".
