Franciscus Pappus von Tratzberg
Franciscus Pappus von Tratzberg (* 1673 in Bregenz ; † March 1, 1753 in Mehrerau ) was a clergyman from the region of Austria . He was abbot of Mehrerau from 1728 to 1748 ; this term of office represented the baroque heyday of the monastery.
Life
Franciscus Pappus von Tratzberg was a son of Johann Andreas II. Pappus von Tratzberg. After completing his studies, he entered the Benedictine abbey of Mehrerau, where he was elected abbot on April 2, 1728. While he held this office, the new baroque monastery church was built. Franciscus Pappus von Tratzberg published several theological writings, which were less well known than those of his prior Apronian Hueber (1682–1755). Franciscus Pappus von Tratzberg gave up his post as abbot due to old age in 1748. He died five years later and was buried in the western porch of the new church on the Mehrerau.
The buildings that were erected under Franciscus Pappus von Tratzberg have not been preserved. The choir stalls are located in the Bregenz parish church of St. Gallus , which he commissioned the sculptor Johann Joseph Christian from Riedlingen to manufacture in 1742 .
family
The secular members of the Feldkirch Pappus family were in the Habsburg service from the 16th century. In 1573 Hartmann Pappus, who administered the Vogtei Feldkirch, received the title “von und zu Tratzberg”. His nephew Otmar had a son named Johann Andreas, who became the archducal councilor in Innsbruck , prince-bishop council, chancellor and finally imperial privy councilor. In 1647 this Johann Andreas Pappus received from und zu Tratzberg the completed Reichslehen Laubenberg. The Pappus family thus belonged to the Swabian imperial knighthood and was now called "von Tratzberg zu Laubenberg". At that time, the family seat was Rauhenzell Castle near Immenstadt in the Allgäu . In 1718 Emperor Charles VI awarded the Bregenz Vogt Johann Andreas II. Pappus von Tratzberg the imperial baron, so that he could now call himself "von Pappus and Tratzberg Freiherr zu Laubenberg and Rauhenzell".
The family produced many clergymen, among whom Leonard Pappus von Tratzberg from Feldkirch achieved the greatest prominence. He became dean of the cathedral in Constance and Augsburg as well as resident of the Swiss Confederation and the papal court. In 1641 he published a book on the history of the Thirty Years War with the title Epitome rerum germanicarum from anno MDCXVII ad annum MDCXLI .
In 1934 the Pappus von Tratzberg family went out.
