Anton Passauer

Anton Passauer (* in Ingolstadt ; † August 25, 1749 in Viechtach ) was one of the leaders of the Bavarian popular uprising of 1705.

Christian Probst usually mentions Passauer together with Johann Jäger . On December 21, 1705 , the rebels met in Schäftlarn monastery .

In addition to the student Passau care commissioner Joseph Ferdinand Dänkel with his chief clerk Johann Andreas Prindl, war commissioner Matthias Egidius Fuchs, the hunter-keeper Johann Jäger and Sebastian Engelhart, the hunter Adam Schöttl, one of the mayors of Tölz, caretaker Franz Xaver Freiherr von Schmidt von Aibling, Administrator Maximilian Alram von Valley, care commissioner Johann Joseph Öttlinger von Starnberg, the monastery judges Jakob Oberhammer von Tegernsee, Joseph Bernhard Wendenschlegel von Benediktbeuern and the monastery judge from Dietramszell, care administrator Johann Adam Weinzierl von Miesbach, court magistrate Eder von Reichersbeuern, the Tegernseer officials and Floß von Raft Eberl von Holzkirchen, the landlord Franz Mayer von Sachsenkam, Captain Jean Philippe Gauthier, Lieutenant Johann Clanze , Lieutenant Johann Georg Aberle and Johann Houis as well as representatives of the teams, especially the riflemen.

Christian Probst provides several evidence that Anton Passauer and Johann Jäger were particularly prominent as instigators. Passauer repeatedly referred to Elector Max Emanuel . After Captain Matthias Mayer urgently advised against the attack on December 24, 1705, Anton Passauer insulted him as an "old whore". When the arrival of Baron von Kriechbaum in Sendling became known, nurse Maximilian Alram had once again urged them to go back with the people at the very last minute; but this was again rejected by Johann Jäger and Anton Passauer.

After the Sendlinger Murder Christmas , Passauer, who had studied law at the University of Ingolstadt, fled to his brother a. Sister to Rauhenlechsberg (today part of Apfeldorf ). He wrote to Ignaz Haid in Munich. The letters were intercepted and the hiding place of Jäger and Passauer became known. Jäger was dug up and taken to the falcon tower on January 7, 1706 . Passauers were able to escape. With JN Sepp he is described as follows: "The tall young man with conspicuous hair acted as a fatherland friend, although only an enthusiastic student, just as much as Plinganser and Meindl called on the Unterländer". It was not for nothing that he lived in Munich with the Jägerwirth. Was the Dr. Passauer, clerical counselor in Freising and dean of the collegiate monastery St. Andrä, which (hist. Fris. II 455) is mentioned in 1714, his uncle? Then he must have let him study. A Kolhund appears as a brother-in-law without further details. Ulreich der Kölhund received from Ludwig the Bavarian in 1324 "for the daily service that he did to the king," the bailiwick of Kümmersbuch. (Bayerische Annalen für Vaterlandskunde 1835, p. 91). Hayd, the agent at the Anzinger Congress, confesses on the torture: “The Jägerwirth thought a lot of this cute young person who has belonged to the law for one year and another. The student always showed eloquent and strong courage in his gestures, when he was in the discourse and proceeded, he didn’t respect his life ”p. 395:“ The student Passauer, as the last cavalryman, fought his way through the imperialists, who already had the village surrounded by, without being reached by their bullets, and shot the hussar who was pursuing him with the pistol from the horse ”. In s. The letter he sent to Ignatz Hayd after the Battle of Sendling from Rauchlechsberg, he described his experiences in detail. His ring seal was JP, a soaring eagle in the shield, above a crest with two eagle wings. (see Hans Neumayer: "The Bavarian People's Uprising 1705 - 1706" and Karl von Wallmenich: "The Oberland Uprising 1705 and the Sendlinger Battle".)

In 1730, the "congenial student Anton Johann Passauer, the former brave farmer's leader and lawyer" appeared as a Preugegeschreiber (brewery counter-writer) in Viechtach near Kötzting, Straubing Rent Office , where he lived until his death. His first marriage was around 1725 to Maria Theresia (Therese) Peckh, (* December 13, 1679; † Viechtach October 4, 1740; daughter of the chamberlain Andreas Peckh and his wife Anna Maria NN). In his second marriage, he was married to Maria Barbara Grimm (*?; † around 1748) from January 30, 1742. Anton Passauer died in great poverty in Viechtach in 1749. In memory of him, a street (“Passauerstraße”) is named in Munich-Sendling.
