Hartmann after work
Hartmann Feierabend (* around 1450 in Baden AG ; † July 11, 1512 in Baden) was a clergyman, humanist, and founder of the Badische Stiftsbibliothek in the federal county of Baden .
Life
After work (also called "Firabent" in old documents) came from a wealthy Baden merchant family. His father, like after work, was an older brother and his son was a salt merchant.
After graduating from Baden, he studied in Basel in 1476, was a Baccalaureus in 1478, and initially worked as a schoolmaster in 1482.
In 1483, after the death of the previous incumbent Heinrich Ersam, he was given the Baden early measurement fund. In 1486 closing time took over the position of pastor of Merischwanden, Johann Keller, with the consent of the Konstanz Vicariate. In 1489, after the resignation of his predecessor Johann Stapfer, he was appointed to the office of the People's Priest of Baden.
Here in 1497 he came into conflict with the mayor and the council of the city of Baden, as they wanted to subject the clergy who were subordinate to the end of the day to secular jurisdiction, whereupon Bishop Hugo von Konstanz intervened in the dispute and the ban made the clergy, elsewhere than to speak before the spiritual judge confirmed. After that, Feierabend asked the bishop how he should behave against this background with regard to absolution at confession against these magistrates , whereupon the bishop in 1498 got an instruction from his court master Walter von Hallwyl, to which the Bishop himself did not want to confess publicly and wanted to affirm his innocence to the representatives of the federal cities.
After work, along with the brothers Johann and Caspar Frey and the schoolmaster and notary Lukas Lütprand, belonged to the Baden circle of friends of the humanist Ulrich Zasius and stayed in touch with him even after he left Baden.
With the private acquisition of magnificent first prints, which were transferred to the parish church after his death, he laid the foundation for the parish library and its later expansion into a valuable abbey library with a significant treasure trove of incunabula . These include the Nuremberg edition of the ecclesiastical law book "Concordia diccordantium canonum" by the Bolognese legal scholar Gratianus from 1483, with the coat of arms of Feierabends (a triangle crowned with a cross on a patterned blue background).
After work, he also stood out as a promoter of the written German language. So he arranged for the translation of the Latin work "From the beginning and essence of the holy city Jerusalem" by Sebastian Brand into German by Caspar Frey in 1512, which was published in 1518 in folio.
His successor as people priest was Johann Schach. As a Catholic clergyman, Feierabend remained unmarried and childless, his nephew Heinrich Feierabend, who died in 1541, was councilor in 1504 and mayor of Baden in 1524.
