Johann Baptist Aloysius Reichsgraf and Edler Herr von Edling , also Johann Baptist Alois von Edling (born June 6, 1753 in Ajdovščina ( Haidenschaft ); † July 23, 1830 in Lübeck ) was an Austrian Roman Catholic clergyman and canon in Germany Lübeck and Breslau .

Life

Johann Baptist Aloysius Reichsgraf von Edling came from the old noble family von Edling , who had lived in the county of Gorizia since the 16th century . He was the second son of Count Albert / Albrecht (1718–), ruler of Haidenschaft / Ajdovščina, imperial-royal captain of Flitsch / Bovec , and his wife Charlotte (1727–), daughter of Ferdinand Ernst Count von Saurau and lady of the Star Cross Order . Johann Nepomuk von Edling (1747–1793) was his older brother.

From 1775 to 1778 he was a student at the Pontificium Collegium Germanicum et Hungaricum de Urbe in Rome . There he received the ordinations as subdeacon and deacon .

On July 27, 1779, he received a prebend at Lübeck Cathedral . Maximilian Joseph Freiherr Vrints von Treuenfeld , son of the imperial envoy in Bremen Konrad Alexander Vrints von Treuenfeld , had previously waived this in his favor. Edling thus became one of four Catholic canons, including Maximilian Alexander Joseph von Kurtzrock , in the otherwise Lutheran Lübeck cathedral chapter .

Shortly afterwards he received in Vienna the ordination , and on 12 August the same year he celebrated his first Mass in the chapel of Schönbrunn Palace in the presence of Maria Theresa and his relative, Count Rudolf Joseph von Edling , Archbishop of Gorizia , Wenzeslaus of Edling, Inspired Canon in Vienna, Philipp von Edling, imperial privy councilor, and Johann Nepomuk von Edling. Then the monarch invited the company to breakfast in her cabinet.

Parish church St. Jakobus in Vierkirchen

He then lived briefly with his brother in Laibach and was then appointed pastor of Vierkirchen (Upper Bavaria) by the Prince-Bishop of Freising, Ludwig Joseph von Welden , the employer and relative of his brother's wife . He took care of the furnishing of the parish church, which was rebuilt under his predecessor from 1763 and immortalized himself in 1789 with a Latin inscription.

Before 1794 he was also canon in Breslau.

In 1791, he was appointed Hochfürstlich Freisingschen Geistliche Rat , and at the end of the year he traveled to Vienna because his brother was ill there. When Edling had still not returned to his parish in Vierkirchen two years later, after the death of his brother, he was dismissed by Prince Bishop Maximilian Prokop von Toerring-Jettenbach . In Vierkirchen he left debts and an oil painting showing him as a canon.

On Christmas Eve 1794, the Kurpfalzbairische Land- und Gantrichteramt Dachau opened the bankruptcy of its assets and announced that the assumed assets of 2,000 guilders were offset by liabilities of 5,917 guilders.

Edling probably stayed in Vienna and then traveled via Prague (1798) and Hamburg (1799) to Lübeck, where he took up his residence as canon in 1800.

When the cathedral chapter was secularized in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803, like all canonicals existing at the time of secularization , it retained the associated privileges and income until the end of his life.
