Alois Flir
Alois Flir (born October 7, 1805 in Angedair , † March 7, 1859 in Rome ) was an Austrian Catholic clergyman, politician, publicist and writer.
Life
Alois Flir, the son of a miller and retailer, attended high schools in Meran and Brixen . He then completed a two-year philosophical course at the University of Innsbruck , where he founded a poets' association and published his first play in 1826. He then continued his studies at the University of Vienna , where he studied ancient, modern and oriental languages, as well as medicine and philosophy . Finally he returned to Brixen, studied Catholic theology at the Philosophical-Theological College there and was ordained a priest in 1833.
Just two years later, in 1835, Flir was appointed professor of Classical Philology and Aesthetics at the University of Innsbruck. There he became the focus of a politically committed group of artists and scholars from the Vormärz . Sent to the Frankfurt National Assembly in May 1848 , but returned to Innsbruck in October. In 1853 he accepted the appointment as rector of the Collegio Teutonico di Santa Maria dell'Anima in Rome and took a leave of absence from his Innsbruck professorship, which he formally retained until 1855. During his short term of office he reformed the anima and is therefore regarded as its second founder or as the first rector of the priestly college, whose official opening he no longer witnessed for a few days (March 1859).
