Bruder Konrad Scheuber

Konrad Bruder Scheuber  -  the site below is a mini play about Konrad    Of course it is all in Swiss German.  Maybe the elder Scheubers can translate.   

His parents were Hans (Hensli) Scheuber and Dorothea von Flue. Conrad's mother was the daughter of Nicholas of Flue (1417-1487), a Swiss mystic and saint. Konrad Scheuber made with the Italian campaigns, fought at Pavia (1512) and Marignano (1515) and distinguished himself in 1513 in Novara from the rest. From 1507 he held numerous public Beamtungen held in his homeland.

From 1528 Konrad Scheuber was appointed as a judge. In 1543 he was Landamman of Nidwalden . The example of his grandfather Nicholas of Flue following, he left in 1544 the public world and retired to the hermitage, where he died 1559th For this reason he is called brother Konrad Scheuber. He is buried in the parish church of wolf shooting.

His marriage to Margaret Roth went two daughters, Dorothy and Christine out. Daughter Dorothea married the prestigious district administrator, building owners and land Ammann Andreas Z'Rotz. The younger daughter married Christine Melchior Christians Wolfenschiesen. There are still descendants of Konrad Scheuber and his grandfather Nicholas of Flue.
