Johann Caspar Neubeck
Johann Caspar Neubeck , also Neuböck (* around 1545 in Freiburg im Breisgau ; † August 1594 in Vienna ) was the Catholic Bishop of Vienna .
Life
Neubeck studied in his hometown and was ordained a priest in 1565 . In 1570 he received his doctorate theologiae and was then professor and rector of the University of Freiburg . From 1569 he was cathedral preacher in Freiburg and in 1574 was appointed court preacher by Emperor Maximilian II .
Pope Gregory XIII confirmed his appointment as Bishop of Vienna on April 2, 1575, for which he had been nominated in October 1574. The bishop of Veszprém , István Fehérkövi , donated him the episcopal ordination on June 5, 1575. This ended a six-year vacancy in the diocese.
His work was made more difficult by the fact that many government agencies in his diocese sympathized with the Protestants . The debts of his diocese were so great that in 1578 he was threatened with seizure. Therefore he could not realize the planned establishment of a seminary with which he wanted to remedy the shortage of priests. With the support of the Jesuits , the founding of the royal monastery for the Poor Clares and parish visits , he was able to achieve a gradual upswing in religious life.
In 1912 the Neubeckgasse in Vienna- Penzing (14th district) was named after him.
