Life

After primary school from 1953 to 1958, Heinrich Reinhardt attended the Freising Domgymnasium from 1958 to 1967, where he passed the Abitur in 1967 .

He then joined in 1967 in the seminary to Freising and studied one year at the philosophical-theological college Freising . When the Freising PTH was discontinued, he had to continue studying at the Catholic Theological Faculty of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . After completing his undergraduate studies, he moved to the Philosophical Faculty, where he majored in philosophy with a master's degree .

Scientific career

Reinhardt was given leave of absence from the seminary to do his doctorate and received his doctorate in philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilians University in 1972 . During his doctoral studies, he received a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation .

From 1972 to 1974 Reinhardt was a scientific assistant editor of the "Handbuch der Dogmengeschichte " in Eichstätt . In 1974 he re-entered the seminary in Munich and studied at the University of Munich again Catholic theology , philosophy and, moreover, even Greek at Uvo Hoelscher . At that time he dealt intensively with the philosophy of the Renaissance , wrote books and essays on the philosophy of language, etc. a. a book about Richard Wagner, so that he received a teaching position for Renaissance philosophy at the University of Munich. In 1978 he graduated in Catholic theology. From 1978 to 1980 he made a research stay at the Collegio Teutonico in Rome to continue his Renaissance research. Since then he has worked on the “ Lexicon recentis Latinitatis ”.

Alexander Thumfart judged Reinhardt's post- doctoral thesis on Giovanni Pico della Mirandola : "The theological-systematic interpretation of Pico's thought as Reinhardt presents it is - unfortunately - not up to date." Reinhardt did not consider the latest research on Cusanus, which showed that Cusanus had "developed a modern transcendental subject philosophy". Reinhardt also contradicts himself when on the one hand he describes Pico as a Thomist (p. 218), on the other hand he writes a few pages further: "Pico is no Thomist." (P. 237)

From 1989 to 1991 Reinhardt was a permanent visiting professor for systematic and historical philosophy and for Latin conversation at the St. Petrus International Seminary in Wigratzbad ( Bavaria ). In 1991 he was appointed head of studies at the preparatory seminar for Chur candidates for priesthood, "Lauretanum", in Zizers .

After his ordination as a priest in 1992 for the diocese of Chur and his habilitation at the University of Regensburg , he taught at the “Lauretanum” from 1992 to 1996 in linguistic and cultural subjects. At the same time he organized the course of studies and accompanied the students spiritually.
