Konrad Grünenberg

The Church of Saint George and Mosque of Al-Khadr, Lydda, with the mosque labelled as ain haidnischer tempel, "a pagan temple" (Cod. St. Peter pap. 32 fol. 33r). Grünenberg's coat of arms on the final page of his travelogue, with the Jerusalem cross for the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, the sword and scroll of the Cyprian Order of the Sword, the jar with the lilies of the Virgin of the Aragonese Order of the Jar, and half of the wheel of Saint Catherine.

Conrad Grünenberg, also spelled Konrad, Grünemberg, Grünberg (probably born around 1415; died 1494) was a patrician from Constance in southern Germany, known as the author of three books, two armorials and a travelogue: the Österreichische Wappenchronik (, ); the Wappenbuch (, ), containing some 2000 coats-of-arms, which he presented as a gift to Emperor Frederick III; and the illustrated description of his 1486 pilgrimage to Jerusalem (extant in two original manuscripts, both from 1487, the Karlsruhe and the Gotha codices). In Jerusalem, he was probably made a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre.

The two original illustrated manuscripts describing the pilgrimage were already completed in 1487 and are considered to be autograph. The slightly older one is being kept at the Baden State Library in Karlsruhe as Cod. St. Peter pap. 32; and the next and more detailed one is being kept at the Gotha Research Center of the University of Erfurt.
