 Konrad von Marburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Konrad's early life is not well known, but he was described by contemporary church sources as well educated and highly knowledgeable.
Konrad included commoners, nobles, and priests in his inquisition: Heinrich Minnike, Provost of Goslar, was one of Konrad's first targets, and was burnt at the stake.
Elisabeth Church, which in some neo-gothic restoration attempt was topped with the effigy of a generic monk that was locally believed to represent Konrad, was continuously stoned by the students of the University of Marburg, and after many attempts of replacement had to be substituted with an architectural ornament.

Konrad Adenauer stated that it is the highest duty of the German people to resurrect the spirit of true humanity and make it flourish in its relations with the state of Israel and the Jews.

From this time Thuringia was understood as a Saxon region, and the marks extending to the east were appendages of Thuringia and of greater Saxony.
Before Clovis an independent kingdom, and before the Carolingians still a duchy with national characteristics, Thuringia eventually transformed into an institution capable of serving the political needs of the East Frankish kingdom, which included ongoing subjugation of the Slavs to the east.
The chronicler Thietmar speaks of ‘Thuringia australis’ and ‘Thuringia septentrionalis’, which seems to refer with clarity to the two essential eastern marks and their distinct traditions of succession.
