Basic information

Birth: c. 1097 - Probably Wettin, Neletize, Mark Lusiza, Herzogtum Sachsen, Heiliges Römisches Reich. (FMG suggests 1097/1098, English Wikipedia suggests c1097, while Peerage suggests c1098.)

Baptism: Unknown.

Marriages: before 1119 with Liutgard von Elchingen (FMG)

Death: 5 February 1157 - Kloster Petersberg, Petersburg bei Halle, Mark Merseburg, Herzogtum Sachsen, Heiliges Römisches Reich (FMG and Peerage, according to the German Wikipedia page for Petersberg, the Lauterberg name was not attached to the monastery until the 14th century, though it appears in other Wikipedia pages and FMG)

Burial: FMG says Kloster Petersberg. At the time that he died, the Stiftskirche St. Petrus was under construction at the monastery (work began in 1142 and was completed in 1184). It would be reasonable to assume that burials for Kloster Petersberg would have begun in the church yard sometime before his death.

Occupation:

• Graf von Wettin
• Graf von Brehna und Camburg (before 1116 to 1156)
• Graf von Eilenburg (1123 - 1156)
• Markgraf von Meissen in (1123 - 1156)
• Resident of Kloster Petersberg (1156-1157)

Alternate name: Konrad "der Grosse", Conrad "the Great" (the "von Meissen" was apparently taken from his most highest title, and may or may not have been used by his contemporaries to refer to him)

The Chronicon Montis Serreni names "Berta filia Wiperti marchionis de Groitz" as wife of "Dedo comes filius Thiemonis comitis"[288]. The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Bertham filiam Wiperti de Groitz" as wife of "Dedo filius Thiemonis", specifying that she was repudiated by her husband and found refuge at Monte Serreno where she died[289]. The same source in a later passage records the death "1144 XVII Kal Iun" of "Berta comitissa filia Wiperti, uxor Dedonis comitis"[290]. Heiress of Burg Groitzsch. The Annales Pegavienses record the death in 1143 of "Berchta de Morunham, filia Wicperti marchionis"[291].

The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Dedonem comitem et Conradum et filiam nomine Machthildem" as the children of "Thiemo comes" & his wife, naming "Gero comes de Bavaria" as first husband of Mathilde and "Ludowicus comes de Bavaria, pater Ludowici abbatis Merseburgensis et Ludowicis comitis, patris Conradi prepositi" as her second husband[297].
• Assuming that her first marriage is correct, she was the first cousin of her husband's maternal grandfather, which seems surprising.
• m firstly GERO Graf von Seeburg, son of WICHMANN Graf von Seeburg & his second wife Bertha von Camburg (12 Jul 1097-19 Sep 1133, bur Kloster Kaldenborn). m secondly LUDWIG [II] von Wippra, son of --- (-1151).

From English Wikipedia:

Conrad the Great (ca. 1097 – 5 February 1157) was the Margrave of Meissen from 1123 until his retirement in 1156. He was the son of Thimo, Count of Brehna, of the House of Wettin, and Ida, daughter of Otto of Nordheim. He was also Count of Wettin, Brehna, and Camburg from before 1116.

In 1123, he became Count of Eilenburg. That same year, Lothair of Supplinburg, Duke of Saxony, appointed him Margrave of Meissen in opposition to Wiprecht von Groitzsch, the appointee of the Emperor Henry V. Lothair also named Albert the Bear Margrave of Lusatia, while Henry named Wiprecht to that march also.

Wiprecht was unable to hold his own against his two opponents and in 1124 Conrad was securely in power in Meissen. In 1136, Lothair, then emperor, appointed him to Lusatia as well. Thereafter, Upper Lusatia remained a part of Meissen and the march of Lusatia was reduced to Lower Lusatia alone.

In 1143, Conrad became Count of Groitzsch and Rochlitz and Vogt of Chemnitz and Naumburg. In 1147, while Conrad III of Germany was away on the Second Crusade, Conrad the Great joined Henry the Lion, Adalbert of Salzwedel, Albert the Bear, and the Archbishops of Magdeburg and Bremen to organise a Crusade against the Obodrites and Wagri. In August, Conrad and Albert, with the bishops of Magdeburg, Havelburg, and Brandenburg, massed their forces at Magdeburg. The Obodrite prince Niklot and his fortressess of Dubin and Dimin were besieged. Both he and Pribislav, another Obodrite prince, were forced to accept Christianity and make peace.

In the following years, he founded the monastery of St Peter auf dem Lauterberg (Petersberg), to which he retired on 30 November 1156. He died and was buried there next to his wife, Luitgard (Lucarda) von Elchingen-Ravenstein, daughter of Adalbert, Count of Elchingen-Ravenstein and Bertha of Hohenstaufen, daughter of Frederick I, Duke of Swabia and Agnes of Germany.

Marriage and issue

Luitgard of Elchingen-Ravenstein, whom he had married before 1119, had blessed him with many children. His eldest surviving son, Otto II, Margrave of Meissen, succeeded him in Meissen, while his second surviving son, Dietrich I, succeeded in Lusatia. His son Henry I, Count of Wettin married Sophia of Sommerschenburg, Countess Palatine of Saxony, daughter of Count Fredrick II of Sommerschenburg and Countess Liutgard of Stade, queen dowager of Denmark.
