Albert Hausner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Hausner (born August 4, 1647 in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz ; † October 30, 1710 ) was abbot of the Waldsassen monastery from 1690 to 1710.

The Reformation meant the first secularization of the Waldsassen monastery . The last pre-Reformation abbot was forced to resign in 1537. Only the Thirty Years' War put an end to the influence of the Upper Palatinate and with the transition to the Electorate of Bavaria , the re-Catholicization meant the revival of the monastery. Albert Hausner fought in his time as abbot to regain imperial immediacy , which he was unable to enforce.

Albert Hausner joined the Cistercians at the age of 18 and took his religious vows in the Fürstenfeld monastery in 1665. He studied theology at the University of Ingolstadt and was ordained a priest in 1674. In 1676 he took over the pastor's position in Waldsassen. As parish vicar from 1676 to 1690, he was President of the local Rosary Society . During his time as abbot, the collegiate church was completed by the builders Georg Dientzenhofer and Abraham Leuthner , as was the Trinity Church in Kappl . The Rosary Brotherhood participated in the redesign, u. a. with a rosary station path through the Munich Reuther forest . During the War of the Spanish Succession , troops of Count Hermann Otto II of Limburg-Styrum stayed in the Stiftland in 1703/1704 and caused high costs for the monastery. The collegiate church was consecrated in 1704 by Auxiliary Bishop Franz Ferdinand von Rummel .

Albert Hausner was the first abbot to be buried on All Souls Sunday in 1710 in the crypt under the collegiate church.
