Life

Florian Rieß studied theology and philosophy and was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD. In the same year he was ordained a priest and worked as a vicar in Ravensburg. From 1846 he was a repetitionist at the Wilhelmsstift and taught with colleagues such as Johannes Baptist Klotz, Ernst Stemmer, Franz Quirin Kober and Johann Nepomuk Brischar. He was released by resolution of the Ministry of Churches and Schools on April 14, 1848, and on April 28, 1848, the Council of Churches gave him leave to publish a new daily newspaper to Stuttgart. His commitment was supported by the Rottenburg bishop Josef von Lipp .

Florian Riess was the publisher, editor and editor-in-chief of the Catholic daily Deutsches Volksblatt - with the subtitle a political newspaper - which appeared on May 1, 1848. The date was originally the date for the first session of the Frankfurt National Assembly . The Deutsche Volksblatt became a recognized daily newspaper in Europe at that time. In addition, in 1850 he published the Sunday paper for the Christian people (from 1868 as the Catholic Sunday paper ) and the Catholic people and house calendar . From the publishing house the Aktiengesellschaft Deutsches Volksblatt developed in 1875 (and in 1924 today's Schwabenverlag ).

With a judgment of February 7, 1854, the Grand Ducal Court Court of the Upper Rhine Strip in Karlsruhe prohibited the publication of the Sunday paper for the Christian people because of “endangering public peace and order”. Since Riess did not comply, the court ruled on June 20, 1854, a "district prison sentence of four months and a fine" to apply for non-compliance.

Riess joined the Jesuit order in Gorheim near Sigmaringen in 1857; his successor in the newspaper and publishing business was Dr. Stephan Uhl. After the Jesuits were expelled from the German Empire in 1872, he lived at the Jesuit College Ditton Hall in Shropshire, England. Together with the Jesuits Peter Roh, Gerhard Schneemann and Daniel Rattinger he co-founded the Voices from Maria Laach . From 1870 to 1882 he was Professor of Church History at Ditton Hall and Maria Laach.
