Brother Conrad (Johann Birndorfer) was not a part of the early history of the Shrine of Altotting. He was born in 1818in Passau, some 50 miles north of Altotting. His town bordered present-day Austria and the Czech Republic. He went to the local elementary school, but was denied entrance to the Benedictine university in Deggendorf, about forty miles from his home.
