Life

Reithofer came from a shoemaker family. He graduated from high school in his place of birth and began to study theology in Freising.However , in 1788 he entered the free imperial abbey of Kaisersheim (Kaisheim) of the Cistercian order in Swabia , where he was accepted into the order on November 25, 1789. He was ordained a priest on October 9, 1791. He administered the parish in the monastery in the period 1794–1797, then the parish office in the village of Leitheim for a year and came in September 1798 as a mission preacher in the then Evangelical-Lutheran imperial city of Esslingen , where his monastery had a house. After the secularization of the monastery in 1803 he lived with his family in Landshut. In addition to his theological tasks, Reithofer had dealt with historical studies. Since his writing "Kleine Chronik von Landshut" (1811) had caused hostility in his hometown, he moved to Munich and from there in 1813 to Wasserburg am Inn . The University of Freiburg im Breisgau awarded him a doctorate in theology in 1815 for his services to science . He died in the hospital in Munich. The cause of death was indigestion.
