Life

Ferdinand Pauly was born on January 3, 1917 in Senheim . He studied philosophy and Catholic theology at the University of Trier . He was ordained a priest in Trier on August 13, 1941 and came to Boppard as a chaplain from 1942 to 1948 . On 23 November 1949 he was at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn to Dr. phil. PhD with the title magna cum laude. His dissertation received the rating valde laudabilis. The title of Dr. theol. he had already acquired in Trier. From 1950 to 1957 he worked as a teacher for religion and history at the Boppard girls' school in Marienberg , which was run by the Ursulines , and from 1958 to 1964 he taught at a grammar school in Andernach . In 1964 he was appointed professor for diocese and regional history at the Trier Theological Faculty , where he stayed until his retirement in 1982. Then he moved back to Boppard and spent his old age in the old people's home with the Holy Spirit . He died on March 8, 1992 in Boppard and was buried on March 13 in Senheim. In his eleven-volume main work on the settlement and parish organization, he developed a very innovative method, through the combination of the history of the place name, settlement, property and aristocracy, the reconstruction of the old parish organization of the spacious Archdiocese of Trier far into the Merovingian early period, even into late antiquity traced back. The collegiate monasteries, as successors to the oldest large parishes, usually formed the starting point.
