1984

• Konrad Plautz used to inform us about him and his matches on his own website: http://www.konradplautz.com. A site he stopped maintaining after he retired from football.
• His favourite music is something called "Volkstumliche Schlager". A kind of music that has to grow on you. Karl May is his favourite author (Indians in drag). He is not married and has no children.
• In his youth Plautz was a right back player, but a not very good one (according to himself).
• When he was a teenager Plautz was inspired by Austrian referee Erich Linemayr.
• Next to his job (he works for Gerätewerk Matrei) and being an international referee, Plautz is coach of a local boys football team and actor and director of the local theatre company called Heimatbühne Navis. His favorite role is the butler in dinner for one by Lauri Wylie. The butler who serves imaginary guests and gets more and more drunk himself. Have a look to get an impression and imagine Conny Plautz in the role.
• In an interview with (Austrian) Keine Zeitung Plautz told he was in favour of goal camera's. He also thinks it's worth to investigate the value of four linesman during the match.
• Plautz thinks authority is one of the most important things to radiate during a match. Before the Super Cup match between AC Milan and Sevilla, he stated: "It's nice to be able to make a positive contribution to a match that is flowing, but you must never let your authority slip".
• In july 2008 Konrad Plautz, as member of the Landtag for the "Tiroler Volkspartei", was caught with an unlucky statement in an interview with ORF Tirol. Plautz said he did not prefer 'Neger-Musik' over 'Schlager und volkstümliche Musik'. Later on Plautz explained he meant Techno-music ("Tschi-Bumm") instead of negro music. (source: DiePresse.com)
