Life
Johann Georg, son of the episcopal Vogts von Güttingen Dietrich von Hallwyl and Eva von Bernhausen, studied at the Jesuit University of Dillingen from 1571 . With the support of his father, Johann Georg received a benefice at the cathedral monastery in Basel in 1579 . On June 14, 1581 he was ordained a deacon ; on August 14, 1583 he was ordained a priest . On June 27, 1588 he was elected a member of the cathedral chapter at the Konstanz Minster and appointed dean of the cathedral ; in the same year he became cathedral choirmaster in Basel.
On January 2nd, 1601 Johann Georg von Hallwyl was elected Bishop of Constance. From June 1, 1601 he was resident canon.
With the sovereigns he conducted negotiations on the delimitation of their rights to those of the Constance bishops. He also had the Missale Constantiense missal reissued. He made it possible for the Jesuit Order to settle in Konstanz, which his predecessor Andreas von Austria had already promoted, and he supported the establishment of a college in Rottweil . Johann Georg was known for his monastic lifestyle; "Excessively long fasting" was given as the cause of death.
His short term of office was described as "beneficial" for the Reichenau monks . Only his successor Jakob Fugger was able to conclude a contract with the city of Lucerne in 1605.
Johann Georg von Hallwyl died in the episcopal residence in Meersburg and was buried in the choir of the Catholic parish church of Meersburg. The subsequent parish church was built from 1827 to 1829 and the remains of Johann Georg von Hallwyl as well as Christoph Metzler and Franz Konrad von Rodt such as Maximilian Christoph von Rodt and Hugo von Hohenlandenberg were reburied in the vaulted crypt near the entrance.
