Life

Excerpt from the foreword to the Vindelicia Sacra by Franz Sales Gailler (1756) with the first record of the designation Pfaffenwinkel , Latin with angulus monachorum - "corner of the monks" and already referred to as vulgar nomen - "popular name"

Franz Sales Gailler graduated from the Munich Jesuit High School in 1703 (today: Wilhelmsgymnasium Munich ).

From 1721 until the end of his life he was pastor in Raisting , a parish in what is now the Upper Bavarian district of Weilheim-Schongau . Gailler became dean of the Weilheim rural chapter.

Franz Sales Gailler first used the name Pfaffenwinkel in 1756 for the region between Lech and Loisach , which, according to the author, was already popular at that time. Gailler describes this corner of Upper Bavaria as an "area in front of the mountains that is more than others blessed with first-rate monasteries". The priests thus primarily mean the large number of religious priests .
