Life
Heinrich Joeppen grew up in Hüls (today Krefeld-Hüls) and attended elementary school and the higher municipal school there from 1858 to 1866. From autumn 1866 he attended the Collegium Augustinianum Gaesdonck , which he left in 1871 with the secondary school leaving certificate . He then studied Catholic theology and philosophy at the Royal Prussian Theological and Philosophical Academy in Münster and as an alumnus of the Episcopal Collegium Borromaeum in Münster. He attended the seminary there from the autumn of 1874. As early as August 10, 1875, he was ordained a priest with papal dispensation (he had not yet reached the minimum age required for ordination ) . He celebrated his home town on August 13, 1875 in the Hüls convent church.
In the years to 1886 studied Joeppen addition to his work as an educator in Munich and received his doctorate on 31 July 1886 with a dissertation De iuramenti licentia ( the moral permissibility About the oath ) for Doctor of Divinity . Then he took over the parish of Liebfrauen-Überwasser in Münster and was called to repetition at the seminary. At the same time he took over the editing of the pastoral paper for the diocese of Münster . He kept this activity until 1910, although he was introduced as a garrison pastor in Wesel on February 2, 1894 . In 1913 Joeppen was Pope Pius X to the titular bishop of Cisamus appointed. Joeppen was also appointed field provost of the army by the Prussian king and German emperor Wilhelm II . The canonical appointment to this activity took place in December 1913. The episcopal ordination by his former Gaesdonck classmate Felix Cardinal von Hartmann , the Archbishop of Cologne , took place on March 22, 1914 in the Catholic St. John's Basilica in Berlin . Co- consecrators were the Bishop of Munster , Johannes Poggenburg , and the Breslau auxiliary bishop Karl Augustin . From then on, Joeppen was the Catholic field provost for the Prussian army and had his office and apartment near Berlin's St. John's Basilica, which also served as a garrison church. On May 1, 1920, Joeppen was retired for health reasons.
He spent the last years of his life in his native Hüls and died on February 22, 1927 after a short illness of flu and pneumonia. After the burial in the priest's grave at the Hüls cemetery, Joeppen found his final resting place in 1931 in the prayer chapel of the parish church of St. Cyriakus Krefeld-Hüls , where an honorary grave was established. The Heinrich-Joeppen-Haus in Krefeld-Hüls was named after Heinrich Joeppen and is used today by the Catholic parish youth in Hüls and for celebrations.
