Conrad III or Konrad III von Bickenbach (1298-1354): A Chivalric Portrait from Medieval Germany This striking chromolithograph depicts Conrad III von Bickenbach, a nobleman from the Swabian region of Germany during the late Middle Ages. The image, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and armor of the chivalric class during this period. Conrad III is shown wearing a great helm with a visor that can be raised or lowered, protecting his head and face from enemy attacks. His coat of arms, displayed proudly on an escutcheon, features a bouquet of grapes and a grave, symbolizing the family's connection to the St. Blasius Church in Bopfingen, where Conrad III was likely buried. Beneath the helm, Conrad III wears a chainmail shirt and plate armor, both essential components of medieval armor. The leather tunic and coat, worn over the armor, would have provided additional warmth and protection. In his right hand, he holds a shield adorned with his coat of arms, while his left hand rests on the hilt of his sword. This illustration, lithographed by C.R., offers a detailed and accurate representation of the fashion and armor of the medieval period. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, meticulously researched and documented the costumes, artworks, and appliances of the Middle Ages to the 17th century. This image of Conrad III von Bickenbach is a testament to his dedication and expertise, providing us with a valuable insight into the chivalric world of medieval Germany.
