Conrad von Einbeck [Einbek; Einbeke]
(b Einbeck, Lower Saxony, c. 1360; d Halle an der Saale, c. 1428). German architect and sculptor. In the Halle Bergschoeffenbuch of 1415 he is named as ‘master builder to St Moritz’, and in the Necrologium ecclesiae S. Mauricii in Hallis he is named specifically as magister lapicidarum. His principal stylistic sources are the sculpture of Peter Parler in Prague and contemporary Bohemian panel painting. In 1388 he joined the masons’ guild of the parish and collegiate church of St Moritz at Halle, where he directed the first phase of building at the east end, possibly until his death; an inscription on a south choir buttress reads Conrad in Einbek natus.
