Jesuit station Hagenhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jesuit station in Hagenhausen was a branch of the Jesuit order in Hagenhausen near Altdorf near Nuremberg ( Diocese of Eichstätt ).

history

Hagenhausen belonged to the Palatine Office of Heimburg and became Lutheran in 1556 . When the Evangelical Elector of the Palatinate, Friedrich V , lost his hereditary lands in 1622 at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War , Duke Maximilian of Bavaria reintroduced the Catholic faith in the Upper Palatinate in 1624. In the course of this counter-Reformation measure, two Jesuit fathers from Amberg named Keck and Kraus provided the parish of Hagenhausen with Gnadenberg and Stöckelsberg , but stayed for only one year.

The religious patent of April 27, 1628 initiated by the Jesuits called for a conversion to Catholicism within six months or for emigration; the evangelical pastor Johann Knött (n) er (Knötnerus / Knottnerus), who came from the Bohemian Eger and had been in office in Hagenhausen since 1614, chose the latter after he had already moved to Altdorf in 1626.

After the Jesuits, the Catholic priest Albert Huber, who had already pastored Hagenhausen with his 108 "souls" from 1626 to 1628 and made room for the Jesuits, returned to his place of work in 1629, but in the same year he went to Burggriesbach as a pastor , where he in 1651 died.

In 1635 the Swedes destroyed the rectory, in which the Jesuits presumably also lived, together with part of the church.
