Aloys Clemens Perger (mostly Clemens Perger ; born November 19, 1816 in Münster ; † June 11, 1910 ibid) was a German Roman Catholic theologian , teacher and politician ( center ).

Life

After graduating from the High School Paulinum studied Perger at the Academic establishment of his native city and the universities of Berlin and lion Philology and Catholic theology and a doctorate in 1838 with a mathematical work in Berlin to Dr. phil. Perger then worked as an assistant teacher at his former grammar school and as a (albeit anonymous ) translator from French and as a tutor for a noble family near Brussels . With their sons Perger traveled again to Leuven in 1846 and attended theological courses there.

Then Clemens Perger entered the seminary in Münster and was ordained priest for the diocese of Münster in 1847 . He was then again a teacher at the Paulinum grammar school for two years and briefly in 1849 the first president of the newly founded Collegium Ludgerianum in Münster.

In the same year, Perger was appointed founding rector of the Collegium Augustinianum Gaesdonck by his bishop Johann Georg Müller , whose supraregional reputation he co-founded. His students there included St. Arnold Janssen , the future bishops Hermann Jakob Dingelstad , Johannes (John) Janssen , Adolf Fritzen , Felix Cardinal von Hartmann and Heinrich Joeppen , the theologians Joseph Bautz and Peter Hüls , the historian and theologian Robert Scholten , who Politicians Aloys Fritzen , Karl Fritzen and Julius Heveling , the cartographer Alphons J. van der Grinten and the writer Hermann Wette . In 1873 the episcopal school was closed due to Bismarck's so-called " Kulturkampf ".

Perger became politically active and became a member of the Center Party in 1874 - just one year after his school closed - a member of the Kempen district for the Prussian House of Representatives and, in 1877, a member of the Reichstag for the Düsseldorf 6 constituency ( Kleve and Geldern ); he resigned both mandates in 1892. Parallel to his political activities, Perger was appointed cathedral capitular by Bishop Johannes Bernhard Brinkmann in 1884 and in 1903 by his former student Bishop Hermann Jakob Dingelstad as cathedral dean of the diocese of Münster .

Clemens Perger died in his hometown in 1910 as an infulized prelate , that is, entitled to wear a miter .

reception

A literary representation of Perger can be found in the Gaisfurt-Passagen of the second volume of Hermann Wettes Roman Krauskopf ( Vom Knaben zum Jüngling , Leipzig: Grunow 1904).

The painter and graphic artist Hermann Teuber created a portrait painting by Perger during his teaching activity in Gaesdonck (1948–1950), which is still in the possession of the Collegium Augustinianum today.
