Life

Johann Theodor Regnier was a son of Simon Joseph Regnier (Renge) and his wife Maria Elisabeth, geb. Black. After graduating from high school in Trier in 1829, he began studying theology at the Episcopal Seminary in Trier . When she had reached 1,831 by attempts at reform unrest in the seminar, where Regnier was involved as a chronicler of acting, which took place Relegation from the educational institution. He then went to Bonn , where he studied law at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität between 1831 and 1833 . After completing his studies, Regnier went back to Trier to practice as a lawyer. In 1838 he was a lawyer at the Trier Regional Court and from 1846 to 1859 he was a local politician on the Trier City Council. In the revolutionary year of 1848, Regnier and his friend Friedrich Joseph Zell were one of the main representatives of the moderately liberal trend in Trier.

As a staunch Catholic and aloof from the clergy , he and Friedrich Zell took over the official business of the city on April 7, 1848 and then supported the constitutional program of the city of Trier on April 14, 1848. Although Regnier was opposition to the government, he was appointed election commissioner for the May 1848 elections in constituency 2 by the chief president. The Regnier also enjoyed a high reputation in the Prussian capital Berlin , as evidenced by a letter dated April 24, 1848 to Finance Minister David Hansemann , in which the Minister of Justice Wilhelm Bornemann proposed Regnier as his successor in the Ministry of Justice.

Until his untimely death, Regnier was the most respected lawyer in Trier who won many high-profile litigation. On March 1, he successfully defended the country poor house chaplain Bartholomäus Gommelshausen (1815–1901) against the district president Wilhelm Sebaldt (1808–1874). He defended the journalist and former editor of the Trierische Zeitung Karl Grün after the failed Prüm Zeughaussturm on May 18, 1849 in the so-called high treason trial. On June 11, 1856, he represented the vicariate general of the Episcopal Seminary (BPS), i.e. the institution that had excluded him from further church education in 1831 in the dispute with the Protestant church community and the Prussian tax authorities over the return of the Jesuits - or the Holy Trinity Seminary Church . Not least thanks to his excellent rhetoric during the plea and the evidence of the history of the property rights of the BPS to the Jesuit and Trinity Church, Regnier was able to win the process.

In the Catholic Journeyman's Association in Trier, which was founded in 1853, he was an honorary director and in 1854 he donated one of the windows of the Apostles ( Judas Thaddäus ) in the new Müllenbach parish church . The church historian Franz Xaver Kraus described Regnier, who died of a heart condition in 1859 at the age of 49, next to the future Bishop Matthias Eberhard ...

“... as the most brilliant intellectual potency that Trier had to show in the 19th century. If he had become a priest, the German Church would have gained in him a power of the first order and a preacher of wondrous eloquence. "
