Life
As an Augustinian canon, Johannes Ambrosius belonged to the Breslauer Sandstift and was later provost of the associated hospital of the Holy Spirit. On the occasion of a stay in Rome on April 27, 1469 he entered the membership directory of the local brotherhood at the Anima College .
On March 11, 1476 he was appointed titular bishop of Cyzicus and appointed auxiliary bishop in Breslau. Since he was in Rome at the time, his episcopal ordination took place there. He kept the Breslau provost's office and was canon at the Neiss collegiate monastery. He exchanged the parish bishopric in Lüben for Trebnitz in 1500 . In addition to several ordinations of priests, numerous ordinations of churches and altars have come down to us from 1479 onwards.
Outside the diocese, he consecrated a chapel in the Augustinian Canons' monastery on October 22, 1481 in Glatz , which belonged to the Archdiocese of Prague . J. the St. Wenceslas Church and cemetery there. Three days later he consecrated the parish church in Ullersdorf in Glatzer Land and on November 8th the parish church in Schlegel .
Also in 1481 he founded a foundation, from whose funds a chapel was built on the south side of the Heilig-Geist-Hospital, which was dedicated to St. Fabian and Sebastian was consecrated. He made this his final resting place. He died on October 3, 1504 and was buried in the chapel. However, after the Hl-Geist-Hospital was taken over by the city of Wroclaw in 1525 because of the apostasy of the provost Augustin Klein and occupied with a Lutheran preacher, the chapel was destroyed. The tombstone of Auxiliary Bishop Johannes Ambrosii ended up in the St. Magdalene Church via a detour . On July 26, 1894, he was transferred from there to the crypt of the Kreuzkirche in Breslau .
