Life

He was ordained a priest on December 2, 1848 and entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) on March 19, 1851. He worked as cathedral preacher in Trier , Paderborn , Munster and Cologne ; his speaking style was considered theologically sound and rhetorically impressive. Because of the Jesuit law in the context of the Kulturkampf (1872) he had to emigrate from Germany to Belgium.
