Jakob Eberlein

Jakob Eberlein (* 1575 in Rottenbach ; † August 12, 1633 ) was Bishop of Seckau from 1615 until his death .

Life

Jakob Eberlein was the nephew of his predecessor in the Seckau bishopric, Martin Brenner . He studied philosophy and theology in Rome and received his doctorate theologiae from the University of Graz . He became pastor of St. Veit ob Bruck an der Mur and finally city pastor there.

He was appointed Bishop of Seckau in 1615 after his uncle's resignation. The episcopal ordination donated to him on August 30, 1615 Markus Sittikus of Hohenems , the Archbishop of Salzburg ; Co- consecrators were Ehrenfried von Kuenburg , Bishop of Chiemsee , and Johannes Brenner , Auxiliary Bishop in Passau .

During a visitation trip in the years 1617-1619, Eberlein examined 160 clergymen of his diocese and found ten cases of cohabitation . That was considerably less than what was noticed with its predecessors. While a significant proportion of foreigners was previously represented among the clergy of his diocese, Jakob Eberlein succeeded in significantly increasing the proportion of diocesan members among the priesthood candidates from 1619.
