Life

Brassart comes from a bourgeois family in Cologne and was a doctor of law. The complete edition of the canonical writings of Heinrich Canisius († 1610), a nephew of St. Petrus Canisius , published in Cologne in 1662 and edited by the local bookseller Johann Busäus , is dedicated to him. According to the dedication, Johann Brassart was at that time apostolic protonotary , Speyer diocesan official , dean of the All Saints Monastery in Speyer , as well as councilor of the Speyer bishop and the margrave Wilhelm von Baden-Baden .

In a letter to the Curia , the Speyer prince-bishop and new Archbishop of Mainz, Lothar Friedrich von Metternich-Burscheid , declared on February 21, 1673 that there has been no auxiliary bishop in Speyer since Gangolf Ralinger's death ten years ago. Since he could no longer exercise the pontificals there himself, he proposed the doctor utriusque juris Johann Brassart as auxiliary bishop. This request was granted in September of the same year; Brassart was 48 years old at the time, and on January 28, 1674 he was ordained titular bishop of Daulia by Archbishop Lothar Friedrich von Metternich.

In March of this year, Metternich also appointed him his auxiliary bishop in Erfurt , which office he held until 1676.

Johann Brassart consecrated the Capuchin Church in Bruchsal on August 18, 1680 .

He died in March 1684, the place of death and burial are unclear.
