Walhalla Würzburg , Isaria Freising, Germania-Hohentwiel Freiburg and Karolingia Munich.

Priest and auxiliary bishop

In 1901 he was ordained a priest and initially worked in pastoral care. From 1904 to 1906 he was curate in the priestly house of St. Johann Nepomuk at the Asamkirche and from 1906 to 1911 beneficiary at the Cathedral of Our Lady , both in Munich.

At the same time he completed his habilitation in 1908 and worked as a private lecturer in canon law at the theological faculty of the University of Munich. As an associate professor for canon law, Bavarian constitutional and administrative law, he came to the Philosophical-Theological University of Freising in 1911 . Scharnagl was appointed full professor in Freising in 1919 and took over as rector of the university in 1929.

Scharnagl held high church offices within the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising . In 1930 he was appointed dean of the cathedral in the Munich Metropolitan Chapter , thus assuming the second dignity and thus the second leading role in this body. In 1934 he was given the role of archbishop's official . On April 10, 1943 he was appointed titular bishop of Zenopolis in Isauria and auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, he was ordained bishop on May 9, 1943 by Michael Cardinal von Faulhaber . Cocoon screechers were the Augsburg auxiliary bishop Franz Xaver Eberle and the Regensburg auxiliary bishop Johann Baptist Höcht . Scharnagl then also took over the leadership of the Metropolitan Chapter as Provost of the Cathedral .

In 1945, Scharnagl was one of the initiators in founding the Catholic men's association in Tuntenhausen . The association is considered to be the heart of political Catholicism in the Free State of Bavaria.

Scharnagl is the author of numerous publications in the field of canon law and was an employee of the State Lexicon of the Görres Society .

BVP politician, member of the state parliament

He was politically active in the Bavarian People's Party (BVP). As their deputy, he belonged to the city council of Freising and from 1919 to the district council of Upper Bavaria , where he was the parliamentary group chairman of his party. In the state elections on June 6, 1920, he moved into the Freising constituency in the Bavarian state parliament , to which he belonged until it was brought into line in April 1933. There he was chairman of the budget committee and a leader in church and school policy issues. He made a particular contribution to the conclusion of the Concordat between Bavaria and the Holy See .

Conduct in the ›Third Reich‹

After the end of the Second World War , Scharnagl's work for the Gestapo became known. Although he was “classified as not affected” in a panel of judicial proceedings , several sources are now known that prove such an activity. Cardinal Faulhaber's diaries are currently being scientifically evaluated. Here he dealt in particular with the rumors about Scharnagl after the war.

Scharnagl last lived in the house at Widenmayerstraße 2 in the Munich district of Lehel .
