He was in contact with many personalities of his time, especially **Ludwig Feuerbach**. Probably best known is that he was in prison because of his convictions. He was a Republican, a supporter of the democratic idea and the United States. This did not fit into the social current of the Salzkammergut at that time, so he wrote to personalities of his time where he addressed the difficult circumstances. This often dragged on for decades, as it was noticed that this **farmer from the Salzkammergut** **was well educated**. Even today there are many circles, especially from the "Freidenkertum", who **refer to Konrad Deubler** and regard him as their predecessor.
