biography

Franz Anton Staudenmaier was the son of a craftsman and began an apprenticeship with his father after finishing school. With the support of Count August von Rechberg and Rothenlöwen, however, he was able to attend the Latin school in Schwäbisch Gmünd (1814-1818) and the high school in Ellwangen (1818-1822). He was then in the Wilhelmstift included in Tübingen and studied at the University of Catholic theology. Here he heard the important professors Johann Sebastian von Drey and Johann Adam Möhler ( Tübingen School ). In 1826, Staudenmaier was awarded the prize for his processing of the prize task set by the law faculty of the University of Tübingen for the election of bishops.

After completing his theology studies, he entered the seminary in Rottenburg am Neckar in 1826 and was ordained a priest in 1827. For a year he worked as a pastor in Ellwangen and Heilbronn before he got the post of repetitor at the Wilhelmsstift in Tübingen.

In 1830 Staudenmaier was appointed professor of dogmatics at the newly established Catholic-Theological Faculty of the University of Giessen . At the suggestion of Staudenmaier, the faculty founded the yearbooks for theology and Christian philosophy , in which current theological topics should be discussed. In 1837 he moved from the University of Giessen to the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg as a professor of dogmatics . Here he initiated the establishment of the magazine for theology . In Freiburg, Staudenmaier was made a canon of honor in 1842 and a cathedral capitular in 1843 . From 1851 to 1852 Staudenmaier was a member of the First Chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly appointed by the Grand Duke . Because of increasing health problems, Staudenmaier retired as a professor in 1855. A little later he died of complications from a stroke.

In his theological thinking, Staudenmaier was under the influence of German idealism and romanticism.
