The well-known publisher and curator Anton H. Konrad died shortly after his 85th birthday. He was one of the first to make a significant contribution to the dissemination of specialist literature on Baroque art and culture in southern Germany. As a curator of local history, he made sure, among other things, that the famous Roggenburg monastery was not left to decay but was renovated. Many other buildings that shape the townscape also owe their survival to his commitment – often against considerable resistance. In 1959 Konrad began an apprenticeship as a publishing bookseller in Stuttgart. Until 1965 he studied art history, archeology and historical auxiliary sciences at the Universities of Munich and Würzburg. In 1961 he founded his own publishing house in Neu-Ulm, with which he then moved to nearby Weißenhorn. Konrad published artist monographs, local and monastery histories, regional history, biographies, ethnological literature, cartographic and graphic works. In 2016 he handed over the business to his son. He has received many awards for his work. Among other things, he was awarded the Cross of Merit on Ribbon of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2013.
