Dominikus Ringsisen
Dominic Ringeisen (* 6. December 1835 in the Finn Inger district sub Finningen (county Dillingen ); † 4. May 1904 in Ursberg ) was a Roman Catholic priest and founder of the Ursberger Institute (now Dominikus-Ringeisen-Werk ).
Life
At the age of four, ringsisen became a half-orphan through the death of his mother. Ringsisen, ailing as a youth, joined the Jesuit order , which he left after nine months. Desiring to help others, he began building a new hospital as a beneficiary in Obergünzburg (1871–1882). In the Crescentia monastery in Kaufbeuren (1882–1888) he advised on marriage and family matters as a pastor and pilgrimage priest.
On 24 February 1884 Ringeisen purchased with the help of a donation, the secular building of Premonstratensians - Convent Ursberg and received on 28 August 1884, the license for the construction of Ursberger institutions . On February 2, 1897, he founded a community of sisters, the St. Joseph Congregation , a Franciscan religious order with around 150 sisters today, to care for physically and mentally handicapped people. Due to the decreasing number of religious sisters, an independent church foundation under public law, the Dominikus -ringenisen-Werk, was established in 1996 .
Ringsisen expanded his work with several acquisitions:
- 1885 the former seminary in Pfaffenhausen
- 1891 the Krumbad spa
- 1895 several country houses in Percha on Lake Starnberg
- 1896 Farming in Fendsbach in the municipality of Pastetten
- In 1897 the former Cistercian Abbey of Bildhausen in Lower Franconia
- 1901 the high castle Bad Grönenbach near Memmingen.
