Johannes Ambrosius dove

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Ambrosius Taube (* 1778 in Wittgendorf near Forst, Silesia , † April 22, 1823 in Berlin ) was the prince-bishop's delegate for Brandenburg and Pomerania and provost of St. Hedwig's Church in Berlin.

Life

Taube joined the Cistercian order and studied at the Grüssau monastery near Landeshut . There he was a preacher at the collegiate church and taught at the grammar school as well as in novice training.

After the dissolution of the monastery in 1810 he became chaplain of the Catholic Church in Berlin, at that time part of the diocese of Breslau . In 1814 he was solemnly introduced to the provost of St. Hedwig's Church in Berlin and on January 29, 1815. In 1817 he was appointed canon of the Wroclaw Cathedral . From 1821 until his death in 1823 he was the first prince-bishop's delegate for Brandenburg and Pomerania . He died of complications from a mucous fever and stroke ; he was buried in the presence of high political celebrities as well as Catholic and Protestant clergy.

Johann Ambrosius Taube was very active in what was then the Catholic mission area. On December 7, 1818, the poet Luise Hensel made the Catholic creed with Probst Ambrosius Taube and thus converted from the Lutheran to the Catholic faith. Luise Hensel's change of denomination was politically sensitive at the time and should initially be kept secret. Even Luise Hensel's friend, Clemens Brentano , made a general confession to Probst Taube in St. Hedwig on February 27, 1817, together with his brother Christian.
