Joseph Anton Schinzinger
Joseph Anton Schinzinger (rarely Josef ; born November 22, 1753 in Freiburg im Breisgau , † September 29, 1827 there ) was a German Roman Catholic clergyman , theologian and university professor .
Life
Joseph Anton Schinzinger came from a wealthy Freiburg family who had built up their fortune with viticulture , among other things . Early on, he drew the attention of the Jesuits. At the age of 16, in 1769, he entered the Jesuit order . After the dissolution of the order in 1773, he left the already dissolved college on November 16 of the same year and returned to his parents with a very good testimony. He then continued studying Catholic theology and was ordained a priest on September 21, 1776 . In 1780 he successfully defended his dissertation de revalidatione matrimonii invalide contracti , the doctorate forDr. theol. Finally, as was customary at the University of Freiburg at the time, he was employed in 1787.
After completing his studies, Schinzinger initially worked as a private tutor . When Emperor Joseph II established the general seminary in Freiburg in 1783 , Schinzinger was awarded the position of second sub-rector . In this position he was able to devote himself to his exploration of science.
After the death of Matthias Danne Mayers in 1787 followed Schinzinger the reputation of the Department of Church History . As a professor he is said to have been an excellent teacher, but he could not be persuaded to put his work into print. Therefore, as a full professor, unusually no book has appeared. For the academic year 1792/93 he was elected rector of the Freiburg University. Due to his wealthy origins, Schinzinger was able to provide the university with financial means. In 1799 he took over the supervision of the Freiburg University Church to his professorship and the administration of the legacy of the theological faculty . He retired on May 4, 1824, but returned to the university in 1825 to replace his sick successor. His lectures were very well attended to the end.
In addition to his academic obligation, Schinzinger had also taken on a private obligation through the early death of his parents and his brother. So he raised his brother's children himself and was a teacher to them. The professor of surgery Albert Schinzinger was his great-nephew.
Schinzinger held the title of a Grand Ducal Baden clergy .
