Life

Kaltenmarkter has been in Vienna since 1465 at the latest. On April 15, 1465 he was registered as Johannes Kaltenmarter in the register of the University of Vienna . There he first studied at the Philosophical Faculty and in 1470 earned his master's degree in philosophy . In 1473 he moved to the law faculty. There he was awarded the legal bachelor's degree in 1475 , and four years later, in 1479, the legal licentiate . During this time he must have already worked as a professor at the university, since he was dean of the law faculty in 1480 .

From 1480 to 1502 he was dean of this faculty ten times. 1481 he became a doctor of canon law doctorate . He was also rector of the university five times between 1480 and 1495 .

Besides his work as a professor at the law school he pursued his studies at the Faculty of Theology on and got there in 1483 the theological licentiate and 1488 promotion to Dr. theol. His appointment as vice-chancellor of the university by Bernhard von Rohr became obsolete when he lost his position as administrator of the Vienna diocese .

In addition to his academic work, Kaltenmarkter worked as a clergyman . First he was pastor at the Michaelerkirche from 1480 to 1486 . In 1484 he also appears as the chief chaplain at the Church of Maria am Gestade . From 1485 until his death he was canon at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna , from 1486 then also canon at Passau Cathedral and from 1489 to 1497 and from 1500 also until his death he was also an episcopal Passau official in Austria under the Enns. He also appeared from 1486 to 1492 as the chief chaplain of the Morandus Chapel at St. Stephen's Cathedral. In addition, he probably had other beneficiaries . From 1500 he also appeared as a canon at Regensburg Cathedral .

He was buried in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna.

Dispute with the Vienna theological faculty

Kaltenmarkter left no learned writings. Rather, he remained represented in literature through his polemics against the privileges of the mendicant orders and the subsequent dispute with the theological faculty. A dispute that made waves as far as Rome. Kaltenmarkter was of the opinion that confessions made to religious priests did not meet the requirements of the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 . He also denied the Pope the right to express other resolutions. He first spread this view in 1483 and had to revoke it after protests from the theological faculty of his university.

In 1490, the dean of the theological faculty, Ulrich Zehenter, accused him again of defending the theses. This time, Kaltenmarkter failed to make the renewed revocation and turned to the papal legate Angelus Ortoni, who was staying in Vienna at the time , who accepted his justification. Zehenter carried the dispute to Rome on October 6, 1491, unimpressed by the assessment of the papal legate. After interrogating Kaltenmarkter in Rome and the expert opinion of two cardinals, Pope Innocent VIII decided on June 30, 1492 that Kaltenmarkter had revoked and had to do so before the University of Vienna. He was also suspended from teaching for a year. He also went unpunished. On October 23, 1492, Kaltenmarkter finally revoked in front of a broad audience at the university and in front of religious and secular representatives in a legal lecture hall in Vienna.

Kaltenmarkter is also said to have been involved in other academic disputes.
