biography

Joseph Adelmann was the youngest child of the marriage of the Eichstätter cloth maker and councilor Melchior Adelmann and his second wife Maria. In terms of siblings, he had three sisters as brothers Caspar and Balthasar . Contrary to information in the older literature, which included the three brothers in the Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden family , Flachenecker clarified their bourgeois origin.

From May 4, 1659, Adelmann attended the rudimenta of the Eichstätter Jesuit high school, the "Collegium Willibaldinum". In 1665 he graduated from the Munich Jesuit High School (today: Wilhelmsgymnasium Munich ) and joined the Jesuit order in 1666. From 1668 to 1671 he pursued his philosophical studies at the Jesuit college in Ingolstadt and obtained a master's degree in philosophy .

Afterwards he taught in the lowest class at the Jesuit high school in Innsbruck . Returned to Ingolstadt after a year, he worked as a grammar professor at the grammar school from October 17, 1672. From 1674 to 1678 he studied theology in Ingolstadt and was ordained a priest in June 1678 . On August 15, 1683, he took the last vows customary among the Jesuits in Lucerne .

From October 19, 1685 to 1687 Joseph Adelmann was Professor of Physics and the Hebrew Language at the Bavarian State University of Ingolstadt. Then he moved to Lucerne, where he finally died.

During his 14 years of teaching he taught grammar , rhetoric , physics , Hebrew language , philosophy and moral theology . In addition, from 1687 he worked in Switzerland as a pastor, people's missionary and preacher, even when he was seriously ill.
