Life and professional history

Hilpisch was born in Simmern in 1846 as the son of a teacher and grew up in Montabaur . After attending high school in Hadamar , he studied philosophy and theology at the Mainz seminary , the University of Münster and the Limburg seminary , where he also did his doctorate in theology.

On December 21, 1868, he was ordained a priest by Bishop Peter Joseph Blum (1808-1884) in Limburg Cathedral . First he was chaplain to the pastor Joseph Weyland in Wiesbaden , where he worked as a pastor and teacher. During the Franco-Prussian War he devoted himself to the sick in the disease hospital in Wiesbaden and looked after the prisoners of war. For this he received the medal for loyalty to duty in war. At the same time he was editor of Nassovia , the forerunner of the Rheinische Volkszeitung .

On October 1, 1871, he was appointed choir regent at the Kiedrich Choral School by Baron Sutton and worked there until December 3, 1883. From January 1, 1884, he worked in the parishes of Nentershausen and Niedererbach , which were orphaned by the Kulturkampf . In 1886 he became pastor in Höchst am Main and a year later, on July 1, 1887, he was appointed to the cathedral chapter of Limburg by Bishop Klein .

From November 1, 1898, he stood by the Limburg bishop Dominikus Willi (1844–1913) as vicar general . A year later he was elected dean of the cathedral by the cathedral chapter. After the early death of his brother and his wife in 1909, he took care of his now orphaned nephew Ferdinand , who later took the name Stephanus as a Benedictine priest.

After Bishop Willis Tot, he headed the diocese of Limburg from January 10, 1913 to September 1913 as vicar capitular . In addition to his work in the diocese, he gave ceremonial speeches, preached a lot and wrote numerous articles for the newspaper. He was also a long-time employee of the Cologne People's Newspaper and promoted Catholic associations in the Limburg area (including the Limburg Worship Association and the Catholic Women's Association ). In 1914 the city's magistrate elected him to the board of trustees of the grammar school and secondary school and in 1918 the city of Limburg made him an honorary citizen.
