Heinrich Hansjakob was born as the son of the baker and host Philipp Hansjakob and his wife Cäcilie née Kaltenbach in Haslach in the Kinzig valley. His mother came from the Rohrbach district of Furtwang . On his father's side, the Hansjakob family had lived on the Kinzig since the Thirty Years' War . From 1852 to 1859 he attended the high school in Rastatt . He then studied theology , philosophy and classical philology at the University of Freiburg . In 1863 he was ordained a priest. In 1865 he received his doctorate in Tübingen with a historical treatise on the Counts of Freiburg.

Donaueschingen and Waldshut time

After completing his studies, from January 20, 1864, he was initially a teaching trainee (student trainee) at the Donaueschingen grammar school for a year , where he made friends with the Fürstenberg archivist Karl Roth von Schreckenstein and the librarian Karl August Barack ; his dissertation, The Counts of Freiburg im Breisgau in conflict with their city . In 1865 he was promoted to Waldshut as a director of the higher citizen school. From Waldshut he ran his own household with his sister Philippine. During his time in Waldshut, he published the text Die Salpeterer , a political-religious sect, and the biography of Hermann von Vicari , Archbishop of Freiburg, in Advent 1866 . Both writings called the authorities to the scene. The latter was confiscated and banned. In 1869 he therefore resigned from his position as director of the community school. Since he now felt more free, he expressed himself critical of the government under Minister Jolly in a speech in Engen , whereupon he served a month's imprisonment in the Rastatt fortress for insult . Here he wrote the book On the fortress . The booklet Der Waldshut War of 1468 was also created during his time in Waldshut ; it appeared in 1868.

Pastor in Hagnau on Lake Constance

Hansjakob's house in Hagnau on Lake Constance

On December 1, 1869, the auxiliary bishop Lothar von Kübel transferred him to Hagnau on Lake Constance at his own request. From 1869 to 1883 he was a Catholic pastor in Hagnau on Lake Constance . As a “water doctor at the lake”, he advised patients to moderate their lifestyle, moderate water applications and compresses. Viticulture in Hagnau was threatened by part-time farming, pest infestation by powdery mildew and the harsh winter of 1879/1880 . That is why Hansjakob founded the Hagnauer Winzerverein on October 20, 1881 , thereby helping to save the traditional viticulture on Lake Constance . The winegrowers 'association was the first winegrowers' cooperative in Baden. He still has Hansjakob's image in his logo today . From 1871 to 1881 he was also a member of the Catholic People's Party in the Baden state parliament . In 1873 he was imprisoned in Radolfzell for six weeks for insulting a state official . In the same year his first son was born, whereupon Hansjakob visited a neurologist - we know of a total of four illegitimate children. Between 1874 and 1879 he traveled to France, Italy, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. In 1878 there was a falling out with his party.

Pastor in Freiburg in Breisgau

Hansjakob Chapel in Hofstetten

In 1884 he took up a position as pastor of the St. Martin's Church in Freiburg , which he held until 1913 despite disputes with the church authorities.

Hansjakob had a disposition to nervous disorders and suffered from mood swings. For the treatment he stayed for several months in 1894 in the mental hospital Illenau on in Achern. He fought his symptoms ("nerve devils") with opiates . According to Beck / Froneberg (2015), he remained heavily dependent on medication and barely able to work.

From 1897 he lived in the former Freiburg Charterhouse , which at that time had already been rededicated as a beneficiary house , a residential and retirement home for 200 beneficiaries , i.e. pensioners who had acquired the right to move in and looked after through a legacy become.

Freihof in Haslach

After his retirement he had the Freihof in his hometown Haslach built in the form of a farmhouse. He lived there from October 22, 1913 until his death on June 23, 1916. The Freihof was preserved as a museum.

Heinrich Hansjakob died on June 23, 1916 at the age of 78 in his birthplace. He was buried in the crypt of his grave chapel in nearby Hofstetten, which was built during his lifetime by the good friend and architect Max Meckel and the sculptor Joseph Dettlinger .

Act

writer

Heinrich Hansjakob wrote over 70 books and writings.

In his works Hansjakob used anti-Semitic topoi and clichés several times . Despite his admiration for the Jewish religion and its Old Testament tradition, on the one hand, his publications contain contemptuous sentences about Jews. His biographer Manfred Hildenbrand warned against playing down Hansjakob's derogatory judgments about “the” Jews. Because as a well-read author, he influenced public opinion.

Commitment to folklore and traditions

He campaigned for the respect and preservation of the Alemannic dialect . As chairman of the Freiburg Trachtenverein, he campaigned for the wearing of national costumes.

Social reformer

He founded Baden's first wine cooperative in Hagnau on Lake Constance . In Freiburg on Rathausplatz and at St. Martin's Church , he had arcades set up for small business people.

Image of women

Hansjakob turned against the emancipation of women and spoke up u. a. against active and passive voting rights, high school education and university studies for women. He argued that women should receive basic schooling, but otherwise should be housewives. At the same time, he attested women the ability to make sacrifices and the ability to develop fundamentally in accordance with their dispositions in the life process.

In museums

The Freihof in Haslach, Hansjakobmuseum

The Hagnauer Museum in Hagnau houses a collection of his books, stories, travel memories, sermons and political writings. His services as the founder of the Hagnauer Winzerverein are also documented there. The significance of his large felt hat ( "grand chapeau", " Heckerhut ") is explained as follows: All that the democratic ideas of Friedrich Hecker held, wore this hat with the wide brim. The makers of his first hats lived right next to his parents' house.

In Haslach im Kinzigtal , the Freihof, which he built in 1913 as a retirement home in the Black Forest style, is now a Hansjakobmuseum. You can also see pictures of the Black Forest by Curt Liebich and Heinrich Hoffmann , all of the books he wrote, his library, the stages in his life and his hat. On the occasion of his 175th birthday, a memorial ceremony took place there on August 19, 2012. When the Hansjakobmuseum was redesigned from 2012–2014, the Hansjakobarchiv was transferred from Freihof to the Haslach i. K. relocated.
