Life
He studied in Horn and from 1891 to 1895 at the Canisianum in Innsbruck. He was ordained a priest on July 26, 1895. At first he worked as a chaplain in the incorporated parishes of his monastery until he was transferred to the monastery to work as subprior and then prior. Finally he was elected abbot on August 22, 1923. He was the monastery until April 5, 1940; Altenburg Abbey was abolished in the Third Reich. Minarz was sentenced to one year imprisonment during the war for helping an allegedly deserted soldier during his escape. The abbot's arrest took place on March 14, 1940, and the subsequent imprisonment lasted until May 13, 1941 in the Göllersdorf prison . After the monastery was rebuilt in 1947, the very old Minarz served the community as novice master for several years.
