Konrad Summenhart (c. 1450 in Calw-October 20, 1502 in Kloster Schuttern) was a Theologian at the University of Tübingen.

Summenhart arrived in Tübingen in 1478, still a master of arts freshly minted from Paris. In January, 1484, Summenhart began his studies in the Theology faculty, as a Bachelor of Biblical studies, Summenhart was awarded the license in Theology in 1489, and a day later, was made a doctor in a large celebration. Finally, in 1491, Summenhart was made professor of Theology.

On Tithes (De Decimis)
Summenhart wrote a short book on tithes in 1497. The work explores whether tithes were obligatory by divine law or not. Summenhart concluded that they were not, but that they should be paid regardless in keeping with custom.
