Konrad von Gundelfingen

Konrad von Gundelfingen (born before 1266; died 1302) was prince-abbot of the Princely Abbey of Kempten from 1284 until 1302 (as Konrad III von Gundelfingen). He was also anti-abbot of the Princely Abbey of Saint Gall from 1288 until 1291, appointed by King Rudolf I. Konrad is attested as abbot of Kempten from 1284 onward.

Between 10 and 15 October 1288 Konrad was appointed anti-abbot of Saint Gall by King Rudolf of Habsburg when Wilhelm von Montfort was given an Imperial Ban for his policies. Konrad joined the Habsburg league under the knight Jakob von Frauenfeld and tried to capture Schwarzenbach Castle from Wil. The attempt failed, however, and he went back to Kempten. Wilhelm von Montfort and Konrad must have found an agreement, as a settlement of 100 silver marks is recorded for 26 October 1298.
