Life

Like him, two of his brothers entered the Catholic clergy, one joined the Society of Jesus ( Josephus Jungmann ) and the other became a missionary in the United States. After completing his studies in the public schools in his hometown with brilliant success, he entered the Pontificium Collegium Germanicum et Hungaricum de Urbe through the mediation of the Bishop's Secretary , later Cardinal Melchers , and did his philosophical and theological studies at the Gregoriana. In 1854 he received a doctorate in philosophy. He was ordained a priest in Rome on June 8, 1857, and received a doctorate in theology two years later .

He then returned to Germany and worked for a short time as a chaplain in the Church of St. Aldegundis (Emmerich) . Jean-Baptiste Malou , Bishop of Bruges, in Rome in 1854, when Jungmann publicly defended the philosophical dissertation, appointed him to the chair of philosophy in the Petit Séminaire in Roeselare in September 1861 . Four years later (1865) he became professor of theology at the ecclesiastical seminary in Bruges . His appointment to the chair of church history at the University of Leuven as successor to G. Henry Wouters opened a broader field for his great abilities in 1871.
