Life

Ignaz Beidtel was born the son of an Austrian civil servant and attended the grammar school in Teschen from 1793 to 1797 , which was then still run by the Jesuits , and then studied law at the University of Olomouc ; In 1803 he did not pass the local examination for admission to a grammar school professorship because the clergy were preferred according to the new grammar school curriculum of 1804, but he did his doctorate on April 16, 1806 as Dr. jur. both rights at the Vienna University .

Because of his knowledge of Roman law and legal history , the rector of the University of Vienna, Hofrat Franz von Zeiller , became aware of him. He asked him to apply for a professorship, since in 1805 chairs for general history had been set up at the universities in Cracow , Innsbruck , Graz , Olmütz , Klagenfurt and Ljubljana .

On November 26, 1807 he became a lecturer in history at the Lyceum in Olomouc, and from October 5, 1810 he taught Roman civil and Austrian canon law at the University of Lemberg . Because the professors of the rights of the possibility of a legal profession offered if they fulfilled the legal requirements, underwent Ignaz Beidtel to 1811 Advokatursprüfung the Appeal Court in Brno , in this case, the State was Freiherr von Munch noticed him and tried to recruit for the judicial service; However, because his practice as a lawyer grew more and more and he was satisfied with his professorship, he turned down the offer.

In October 1816 he was appointed to the Council of Appeal in Zara without his having asked for it. Two reasons led him to swap his chair for the judge's office; On the one hand he received his salary in Olomouc in paper money and in Zara the payment would be in metal currency and on the other hand he believed that the library in Zara was more extensive and the censorship conditions were not as strict as in Olomouc. Later he came to the courts of appeal in Fiume , Klagenfurt and Brno.

In his work, Investigations into the ecclesiastical conditions in the imperial Austrian states, the nature of their formation and the reforms that are desirable in view of these conditions , he described the condition of the Catholic Church in terms of property and legal relationships and made suggestions for changes in which everyone had an influence turned back to the Church; he also suggested allowing an Orthodox press. In his work The Canon Law: viewed from the standpoint of constitutional law, politics, general corporate law and the state relationships that have arisen since 1848, he examined the relationship between the church and the state and developed proposals that also included church freedom. He vindicated special rights for those countries in which the majority of the inhabitants profess to the Catholic Church.

A few months after the publication of the writings, he was considered an authority by the scientific Catholics, his work was quoted in corresponding writings and in a memorandum of the Austrian bishops on necessary church reforms, which was submitted to the Ministry of Culture in 1949, longer passages from his writings have been copied verbatim . This led to his being appointed to an extraordinary service in the Ministry of Culture on February 16, 1850. The Minister of Education, Count Leo von Thun and Hohenstein , entrusted him with a number of diverse tasks relating to religious funds, marriage, theological studies and others. As a result of his work, the minister applied for his appointment to the court council without a permanent post, but this application was not granted by the finance minister. In the further course of his duties were reduced and he was called to unimportant deliberations until on April 30, 1851 his service was declared for an end. In the period before and during neo-absolutism , the conditions for Ignaz Beidtel had changed so negatively that he received neither reward nor recognition for his services from the ministry or the clergy, because he believed that the concessions to Rome should not exceed a certain level; later he also criticized the Concordat of 1855.

Ignatz Beidtel was married, his son was the lawyer and member of the Frankfurt National Assembly 1848/1849 Carl Beidtel (born September 14, 1817 in Zara; † March 6, 1893 in Innsbruck ).
