Life
Georg Anton Brinkmann was on 29 January 1821 priests in the diocese of Muenster ordained . From 1826 to 1828 he stayed in Berlin for philological studies . After his return from Berlin he became a government and school councilor in Koblenz and in 1831 canon in Trier . In 1836 he became the prince-bishop's delegate and provost to St. Hedwig in Berlin. In the diaspora of the delegation district he founded a mission association, from which the Bonifatiuswerk later emerged, and in 1846 the Berlin Hedwig Hospital . With the Trier Borromäerinnen , which he won for the care of the hospital, took Brinkmann first time after the Reformation again nuns to Berlin. His ideas of turning the delegation district into a separate diocese were met with rejection. Because of this, and because of his poor health, he resigned the office of delegate and returned to his home diocese of Münster, where he became canon in 1851.
On March 15, 1852 he was appointed auxiliary bishop in Münster and titular bishop of Orope . He received the episcopal ordination on May 16, 1852 by the Münster bishop Johann Georg Müller . Brinkmann died on May 7, 1856.
