Johannes Dörig

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Dörig , also Johannes Döring (* around 1490 in Schwende ; † 1526 in Hemberg ), was a Swiss Catholic pastor and reformer .

Life

Johannes Dörig was probably born in Schwende in the parish of Appenzell at the end of the 15th century and was first recorded as Johannes Thuringus from Appenzell, as a student at the University of Basel, from 1512 to 1513 .

He had a humanistic education and, alongside Jakob Schurtanner , Walter Klarer , Matthias Kessler, pastor in Gais, Pelagius Amstein (1485–1550), pastor in Trogen and Johannes Hess, chaplain at St. Mauritius in Appenzell, was a first supporter of the Reformation in Switzerland .

As a folk priest and beneficiary of the Herisau parish, he left the parish to Jost Rutz for a certain period of time against an annual payment in order to be able to continue studying. When he wanted to take over the benefice again and wanted to dismiss Rutz against his will, the Bishop of Konstanz, Hugo von Hohenlandenberg , protected Rutz's lawsuit and let him continue to run the parish in Herisau, but imposed a fine on Johannes Dörig.

In 1521 he was imprisoned by the Bishop of Constance and sentenced to prison because of this quarrel and his marriage, through which he deliberately disregarded his celibacy obligations . The parish Herisau was handed over to the priest Joseph Forrer by the abbot, while the abbot of the monastery of St. John , John Steiger, as Kollaturherr belehnte John Dörig in December 1522 the benefice Hemberg. Later he informed the fiscal officials of the Bishop of Constance in writing that he called him a hellish wolf and that he had broken his obedience. At the behest of the district administrator, he was supposed to leave Toggenburg in 1526 .

He was in direct contact with Huldrych Zwingli and between 1518 and 1523 there is evidence of an exchange of 21 letters with Joachim Vadian , with whom he was on friendly terms.

Johannes Döring died in 1526 as a pastor in Hemberg.
