John Remelinckhausen (* before 1494; † 10. August 1520 ) is the first known dean of the Eifel deanery and author of "Statua Synodalia" from 1513th

Life

From 1494 until his death in 1520, Johannes Remelinckhausen belonged to the Münstereifel canons as a scholastic . As such, he received the parish of Marmagen as prebende . As a document from the archives of the parish church Münstereifel shows, on June 25th 1505 he was present at the transfer of the relics of the martyr couple Chrysanthus and Daria in the collegiate church . Around 1513 he is mentioned as dean of the Eifel deanate. He collected the old rules of Eifel Christianity and drafted the new statutes of the deanery, according to which the pastoral work in the Eifel region was organized. These were confirmed in 1559 by the Bonn archdeacon , Johannes Gropper , and lasted until the reorganization of the church province of Cologne at the beginning of the 19th century.

Remelinckhausen's parchment manuscript is now kept in the main state archive in Düsseldorf . Its title is: Statuta capituli Christianitatis Eyffliae, collecta per Johannem Remelinckhausen, Pastorem in Marmagen et decanum Eyffliae, Anno 1513.

The statutes of the Eifeldekanate were printed in the 2nd volume of the collection “Statua synodalia” by Johannes Blattau (Trier 1844).

A detailed regest can be found in History of the Parishes of the Deanery Blankenheim by Pastor Dr. Johannes Becker (Cologne 1893).
