life and career

Johann Heinrich Brühl was the son of Johann Heinrich and Anna Heuchemers, who came from Koblenz. In November 1779 he entered the Benedictine Abbey of Prüm , where he made his profession (Ordo Sancti Benedicti) on November 19, 1780 ; at the same time he was also the last conventual of this abbey. He received his tonsure and minor ordination on May 24, 1782, and a day later he was also ordained as a subdeacon . Brühl became a deacon in September 1783 and a year later he was ordained a priest in Trier . Between 1785 and 1788 he studied at the Seminarium Clementinum in Trier.

Brühl received his first position as pastor in 1791 in Herschbach near Kaltenborn in the Eifel . Since the members of the community had been awarded the Constitution civile du clergé , he was elected pastor of Ahrweiler . In 1800 he was appointed canton priest, but he left Ahrweiler a year after the secularization of Ahrweiler in 1802 . On October 25, 1805, Brühl became canton priest in Cochem , where in 1810 he saved the Capuchin monastery by auctioning it and transferring it to the Catholic parish in order to set up a hospital, an elementary school and a grammar school there. The "Higher Citizens School" (second-class teaching institution) was founded on March 7, 1818, and on April 1, teaching began with Brühl, who was responsible for supervision, and the teachers Huberti and Schneider. On December 27, 1827 he was appointed dean and director of the higher city school in Cochem.
