from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jodocus Kilchmeyer , also Jost Kilchmeyer (* around 1490, † 1552 in Bern ) was a Swiss reformer .

Life

Jodocus Kilchmeyer came from a respected Lucerne patrician family .

In 1509 he began studying theology at the University of Basel , which he continued in Vienna in 1512 ; he was probably a pupil of Joachim Vadian there .

After completing his studies, he and Huldrych Zwingli signed a petition to the Bishop of Constance , Hugo von Hohenlandenberg , regarding the marriage of priests by speaking out against celibacy . In addition to Huldrych Zwingli and Jodocus Kilchmeyer, the font signed Balthasar Trachsel (1493–1562), Georg Stäheli , Werner Steiner (1492–1542), Leo Jud , Erasmus Schmid (1490–1546), Simon Stumpf , Ulrich Pfister, pastors in Uster, Kaspar Megander and Hans Schmid, chaplain in Zurich.

In 1524 he left Lucerne and spent some time in Zurich and Bern.

He became pastor in Mels in 1530 and in Rapperswil in 1531 ; there he introduced Zwingli's teaching and had the pictures removed from the church (see also Reformation Iconoclasm ).

After the battle of Kappel he was threatened with extradition to the five towns , whereupon he fled to Zurich and was appointed pastor in the Reformed church in Küsnacht . In 1546, as a staunch supporter of Huldrych Zwingli, he was appointed to the Bern Minster and in 1547 was promoted to the position of supreme dean .

Jodocus Kilchmeyer was secretly married to Magdalena (née Eng) since 1529.
