Ignaz von Trauner

Ignaz von Trauner , also Ignatius or Ignatz (von) Trauner , OSB (* 1638 at Adelstetten Castle near Salzburg ; † October 21, 1694 in Regensburg ) was an important Bavarian preacher in the Baroque period and Benedictine and abbot in the Regensburg monastery of Sankt Emmeram .

biography

Ignaz von Trauner came from the old Bavarian-Salzburg noble family of the nobles von Trauner . He was one of several members of this family who have appeared among the members of the male and female monasteries and monasteries, but also in the diocesan clergy of this region and some of them held high ecclesiastical offices since the 16th century.

Ignaz von Trauner was accepted into the Regensburg Imperial Monastery of Sankt Emmeram in 1654 and was then sent to Rome to study philosophy and theology at the Collegium Germanicum . He was ordained priest in Rome in 1662 . After returning from Rome he worked as a confessor with the Benedictine nuns of the Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg . In Regensburg in 1666 he took over the office of parish vicar of the parish of Sankt Rupert belonging to the monastery Sankt Emmeram and from 1669 held the office of prior and preacher at the collegiate church of Sankt Emmeram in the convent.

On November 6, 1691, Ignaz von Trauner was elected by the convent of St. Emmeram as the successor to the late abbot Coelestin Vogl . The apostolic confirmation of the new abbot took place shortly after the election, the benediction by the Regensburg auxiliary bishop Albert Ernst von Wartenberg, however, only on November 13, 1692. The reason for this long delay were probably differences with the episcopal see of Regensburg due to the briefly before The Bavarian Benedictine Congregation established a significant part of the Abbey of Sankt Emmeram and its abbot Coelestin Vogl . Through this association, the bishop saw his rights and influence on the monasteries in his diocese limited.

From 1690 (until his death in 1694) Ignaz von Trauner also acted as administrator in the Plankstetten Monastery and Reichenbach am Regen Monastery .

Ignaz von Trauner made a name for himself as a translator of Italian works and as a preacher. Many of his sermons have appeared in print (partly also as collections and in several editions). He is considered one of the most important preachers of the Baroque in Bavaria.
