Joseph Freisen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Freisen (born September 14, 1853 in Warstein , † February 5, 1932 in Würzburg ) was a Roman Catholic theologian , university professor and canon lawyer .

Life

He was born as the son of the farmer Wilhelm Freisen and his wife Marianne, née Peters, on September 14, 1853 in Warstein. After primary school he attended the municipal grammar school Petrinum in Brilon and studied philosophy and theology at the academy in Münster from 1873 to 1875 . He then studied four semesters of theology and law at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and two semesters of theology in Eichstätt . In 1878 he was ordained a priest in Eichstätt. Three years later Freisen received his doctorate in law from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and in 1884 as a doctor of theology from the University of Tübingen. In 1885 he qualified as a professor in canon law at the theological faculty of the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg .

Afterwards he worked as a cooperator in Hoinkhausen and until 1889 as vicar in Hellefeld , because the Bishop of Wroclaw refused him a lecturer at the University of Freiburg. Afterwards, as cathedral vicar in Erfurt, he was also responsible for the cathedral library there. In 1892 Freisen became professor for canon law at the Philosophical-Theological University of Paderborn . Because of his criticism of the Paderborn bishopric election in 1900, he later got into trouble. The new bishop Wilhelm Schneider prevented Freenk's appointment to the universities of Würzburg and Prague . That is why he resigned his teaching post in 1905 and completed his habilitation at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg in church and German legal history. In 1909, another appointment as full professor of canon law at the law faculty of the University of Chernivtsi was unsuccessful due to objections from oppositional church circles. In 1910 Freisen became an honorary professor at the University of Würzburg. He died on February 5, 1932 in Würzburg.

Since 1876 he was a member of the Catholic student union AV Guestfalia Tübingen . He was also a member of the KDStV Markomannia Würzburg .
