Friedrich Emanuel von Hurter
Friedrich Emanuel von Hurter (born March 19, 1787 in Schaffhausen , Switzerland; † August 27, 1865 in Graz , Austria) was a Swiss-Austrian historian and theologian .
Live and act
Friedrich Emanuel von Hurter studied theology and history at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen , became a pastor in 1824 and an Antistes in Schaffhausen in 1835 . His book History of Pope Innocent III. and his contemporaries (Hamburg 1834–42, four volumes) as well as his familiar intercourse with the most ardent ultramontanes , e. B. Johann Joseph von Görres and Carl Ernst Jarcke , caused his brothers in office in Schaffhausen to demand a declaration from him about his position towards the Reformed Church .
As a result of the sensational disputes that arose from this (cf. his defense document Der Antistes Hurter and his so-called Official Brothers , Schaffhausen 1840), he resigned his office in 1841, converted to the Roman Catholic Church in Rome on June 21, 1844 and became court counselor in 1846 and historiographer appointed to Vienna .
Suspected of political activities, he lost this position in 1848, but was reassigned in 1849 and was raised to the nobility that same year. He died in Graz on August 27, 1865. He is buried there in the St. Leonhard Cemetery.
Besides the above-mentioned writing and the memorabilia from the last decade of the 18th century (1840), his autobiography Birth and Rebirth is particularly important . Highlight memories from my life .
He also wrote:
- History of Emperor Ferdinand II and his parents (Schaffhausen 1850–64, 11 volumes)
- Philipp Lang, Rudolf II's valet (1851)
- On the history of Wallenstein (1855)
- Wallenstein's last four years of life (Vienna 1862).
His Catholic tendencies emerged particularly in the writings he wrote as a Protestant clergyman:
- Excursion to Vienna and Pressburg (1840, 2 vols.) And
- The condition of the Catholic Church in Switzerland (1840, addenda to this 1843).
