Aegidius Rehm as Canon of Passau, around 1520

Aegidius Rehm (also Aegidius Rehm; Egidius Rem ; * 1486 in Augsburg ; † September 9, 1535 ) was bishop of Chiemsee from 1526 to 1535 .

Life

After studying in Paris and Italy, Agidius Rehm earned the degree of Dr. iur. utr. and from 1514 was canon in Passau . At the Mühldorf Reform Convention in 1522 he gave the opening speech. After 1522 he was the clerical councilor of Salzburg Archbishop Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg , on whom he exercised a strong influence on the question of clerical reform and the Counter-Reformation . Together with this he was at the fortress Hohensalzburg during the first Salzburg peasant uprising . He later wrote a memorandum about the 14-week siege by the insurgents there.

After the resignation of the Chiemsee Bishop Berthold Pürstinger on May 6th, 1526, Archbishop Lang von Wellendorf appointed Egidius Rehm as his successor. Because of the second Salzburg peasant uprising, the consecration did not take place until autumn 1526 in Mühldorf. Since he probably did not agree with the fines imposed on the rioters, he granted the residents of Taxenbach compensation of 1,000 guilders for the destruction of Fischhorn Castle . During his bishopric he exercised little political influence.
