Johannes Bartholomäus Kobolt von Tambach

Johannes Bartholomäus Kobolt von Tambach (born August 24, 1592 in Tambach ; † February 5, 1645 in Passau ) was auxiliary bishop in Passau.

Life

Johannes Bartholomäus Kobolt von Tambach came from a family of the Ulm city bourgeoisie who had been raised to the nobility in 1573. He received his doctorate in both rights in Freiburg in 1618, was pastor in Neustadt near Coburg in the diocese of Regensburg and received a canonical in Straubing . From 1624 to 1636 he was official and vicar general in Regensburg and from July 16, 1636 to 1640 under Prince-Bishop Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria (Bishop of Passau 1625–1662) Passau official and vicar general for the land under the Enns and according to his information for the time being too for the land above the Enns . In 1637 he was appointed bishop of Lampsakos and auxiliary bishop. He was also appointed pastor and dean of Tulln in Lower Austria and Straubing in Lower Bavaria. At the same time, Nikolaus Aliprandi von Thomasis (1600–1642) was Auxiliary Bishop and Vicar General for the Office of the Enns, since Archduke Leopold Wilhelm was not a priest and could not perform any sacramental functions in his diocese.

Numerous reports have been received about Kobolt's work as bishop. In 1638 he donated the sacrament of Confirmation in the collegiate church of Klosterneuburg , also in St. Martin and with the Franciscans. In 1643 he consecrated four altars in the collegiate church and consecrated priests and deacons. In the same year he infuled the new provost Rudolf Miller and consecrated six altars the next day in St. Martin. When he ordained Klosterneuburg canons in the church of Hietzing near Vienna in 1639 , conflicts arose with the diocese of Vienna because the church belonged to the Viennese diocesan area. Further consecrations are recorded in Lower Austria in 1640, in the Mauerbach Charterhouse and the Church of Zistersdorf and with the Jesuits in Passau.

In Tulln and Straubing he accumulated such high debts in the last years of his life that the parish of Tulln was placed under compulsory administration in 1644 (by the provost of Klosterneuburg). He died on February 5, 1645 in Passau and was buried on March 7 in the (now profaned) chapel of the Corpus Christi Brotherhood in the cathedral cloister. Ulrich Grappler followed him in 1646 as auxiliary bishop in Lower Austria .
