Jakob Denkinger
Jakob Denkinger (born August 1, 1589 in Schönberg in Swabia ; † September 19, 1660 in Kreuzlingen ) was abbot of the Augustinian canons of Kreuzlingen from 1625 to 1660 .
Jakob Denkinger made his profession in 1614 with the religious order of the Augustinian Canons in Kreuzlingen and was ordained a priest in 1617 . In 1624 he was elected dean and in 1625 abbot of the regulated canon monastery of Kreuzlingen.
Denkinger finished his predecessor's reforms but was mostly preoccupied with the aftermath of the Thirty Years War . After the siege of Constance by the Swedes in 1633, the Augustinian monastery was burned down by Constance residents who accused the monastery of being a base for the enemy.
During his tenure in 1640, the Propstei Riederen, located in the Black Forest, was incorporated; Provost Bernhard Wenglin abdicated in favor of Abbot Jakob Denkinger from Kreuzlingen. In 1656 the Vogtei Hirschlatt was bought.
With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, the Kreuzlingen monastery lost its privileges as an imperial abbey, lost its seat and vote in the Reichstag and came under the protection of the Confederation.
From 1650, parts of the monastery were rebuilt at the current location at the request of the city of Constance; Denkinger had the church built according to Michael Beer's plan.
