life and work

Johann Karl August Gregor Müglich 1793 the son of a winemaker of Standesherrschaft born in Königsbrück. He grew up on the winery. His father died as early as 1801. His mother raised him and his two younger sisters alone. She died in 1831 without having remarried. Müglich attended the Königsbrücker Stadtschule, where the rector, Magister Carl Gottfried Klinghardt, paid great attention to religious instruction in religious instruction. With the desire to become a youth teacher, he took music lessons and tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to be accepted into the Friedrichstadt seminar . On the advice of the Königsbrück office director, Berger, he became a copyist for the town clerk and later mayor Heinrich Gottlob Süßemilch in Bischofswerda . With the experience he gained there, he was able to apply for the position of the Famulus of the City Physician Dr. Ernst Gottlieb Hommeyer in Bautzen , who however died very young in 1813. Since Hommeyer had made sure that Müglich attended grammar school in Bautzen, he was able to begin studying theology and pedagogy at the University of Leipzig in 1815 .

In 1817, Müglich ran out of funds to study. So he was forced to accept a position as a history teacher for the children of Prince Emil Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg . In the same year, however, he left Germany to go to Switzerland with his fellow students Karl Natusch and Bähr , where a job as a teacher in Fellenberg's educational institution beckoned, but this soon came to nothing and further attempts at a professional future followed. His sister's death in 1818 shook him and made him shake in his faith. Encouraged by fellow students, he successfully continued his studies and became a doctor of philosophy in Tübingen . Finally successfully tested for the ministry in Dresden , he left his home again in 1823. This time he took on a job in Genoa . There he met Franz Xaver von Zach , Prince Metternich and Lord George William Russell .

In Genoa he got engaged to the sister of the businessman Karl Müller from the Appenzell region . He married her in 1827. With her he moved to Dresden. Here he took care of, among other things, Ernst von Coburg in Loschwitz . In 1832, Müglich had to make another effort to get a preaching position. He had to Leipzig in the Thomas Church of the official examination subject. On March 1, 1832, he and his wife were allowed to move to Hundshübel near Schneeberg to take over the preaching office there. He soon tried to change the conditions in his new congregation that were contrary to his view and met with unexpected resistance. The related incidents ended up before the appellate court and resulted in a defeat. His wife died on September 15, 1835, taken with her by the experiences in Hundshübel.

Members of the parish in Hundshübel assumed that the pastor had a penchant for Catholicism . He was even charged with insulting the authorities. On August 1, 1836, the dismissal notice was issued against Pastor Müglich. Müglich left the place to move to Munich in 1839 after a stay in Altenburg . On September 23, 1839 he converted to the Catholic faith there. His attempts to publish church magazines were unsuccessful. The ordination Johann Karl August Gregor Müglich received on 25 November 1843 in Passau to pilgrimage chaplains in the neck to be near Passau. In 1854 he received the benefit in Jenkofen near Adlkofen, where he stayed until the end of his life.

Müglich left behind numerous books and writings, including Dr. Müglich's small postil for the entire church year , published in Altenburg in 1838, Die kleine Sommerpostille (1838) and Die kleine Winterpostille (1839).
