Andreas Stanislaus von Hatten (born August 31, 1763 on the Lemitten estate in the municipality of Albrechtsdorf in Warmia-Masuria ; † January 3, 1841 in Frauenburg ) was a bishop of Warmia.

Life

Andreas Stanislaus von Hatten came from a noble family that had lived in Warmia since the 16th century . He was born as the son of Gottfried von Hatten (1733-1803), major in the Polish service, land hunter and landowner of Gut Lemitten, and his wife Anna von Helden-Gansiorowski (1743-1767). His grandfather was Karl von Hatten (1705-1765), Lord of Komalmen at Guttstadt in district Heilsberg , Governor of Warmia and captain of Braunsberg .

Andreas Stanislaus von Hatten received his first training from the private tutor and later pastor Graw and was a student of the Braunsberg Jesuit College in the Lyceum Hosianum . He studied in Warsaw with the Lazarists in the missionaries' seminary to learn Polish, Italian and French, and in the episcopal seminary in Braunsberg. In 1783 he began to study theology and the study of canon law at the Collegium Germanicum in Rome and finished these studies in 1786, then he received his doctorate in theology; After his ordination he returned to Warmia and then worked for four years in the chancellery at the court of Prince-Bishop Ignacy Krasicki , was coadjutor of Canon Thomas von Szczepanski in Frauenburg in 1791 and archpriest in Mehlsack in 1792 .

He was designated auxiliary bishop by Prince-Bishop Karl von Hohenzollern-Hechingen as the successor to Karl Friedrich von Zehmen , who had resigned from office for health reasons, and this was appointed by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. Confirmed on December 3, 1798. In 1800 he was appointed canon in Frombork and on October 17, 1801, he was ordained suffragan bishop of Warmia and bishop of Diana in partibus in Oliva .

In 1818 the cathedral chapter in Kulmsee applied for his appointment as bishop of the Kulm diocese , but the application was not accepted by the Prussian government.

On April 26, 1837 he succeeded Bishop Joseph von Hohenzollern-Hechingen ; The following year he published on April 19, 1838 a pastoral letter in which he the papal position of Pope Gregory XVI. as well as by Martin von Dunin in Posen , who was reinstated as bishop after his imprisonment, represented in the Prussian mixed marriages dispute , who took the position that children from interdenominational marriages must in any case be raised Catholic; In doing so, however, he came into opposition to the Oberpräsident Theodor von Schön , who had the pastoral letter declared invalid on October 31, 1838. In addition, Andreas Stanislaus von Hatten pushed through the preservation of the Gothic bishop's palace in Heilsberg , which Theodor von Schön wanted to have torn down.

On January 3, 1841, Andreas Stanislaus von Hatten fell victim to a robbery in his Frauenburg curia by the tailor Rudolf Kühnapfel (1814–1841) from Frauenburg, who killed him and his domestic servants with an ax. In the process that followed, Rudolph Kühnapfel was sentenced to death and was the last person to be whacked in Prussia . The suspicion that the act was carried out in connection with social revolutionary ideas was not confirmed.

The bishop's solemn funeral was attended by the secret minister of state and chief president of Prussia Theodor von Schön, the commanding general of the 1st Army Corps, Friedrich von Wrangel , the chief marshal of Prussia, Count Friedrich zu Dohna-Schlobitten , the chancellor of Prussia and president of the tribunal , Dr . Carl von Wegnern as well as the government councilor Linz as a member of the government in Königsberg, the district councilor von Schwarzhoff and the police advisor Friedrich August Wilhelm Duncker (1797–1869) from Berlin participated.
