Life

Joseph Hehle was the son of the landowner Joseph Hehle and his wife Kreszentia geb. Bauhofer. Hehle attended elementary school in Niederwangen, was able to attend grammar school in Ehingen due to his talent and passed the school-leaving examination in 1860. He studied in Tübingen from 1860–1864 as a pupil of the Wilhelmsstift Catholic Theology and Classical Philology and was ordained a priest on August 10, 1865. Hehle held his primacy in Niederwangen on August 20, 1865. From 1866 to 1867, Hehle taught as a Preceptorate Administrator in Riedlingen and in 1867 was a candidate for teaching. 1867–1868 he continued his studies in Tübingen, which he obtained in 1868 with the Dr. phil. completed. In 1869 he passed his examination to become a professor at high schools .

Hehle then entered the school service and was promoted to professorial administrator in Ehingen in 1869 and professor there in 1871. Hehle mainly taught the classical languages ​​Greek and Latin. In 1886 he became rector of the Ehingen grammar school, which he held until his retirement in 1908. Shortly before retirement, Hehle was promoted to senior teacher in 1906.

During his time as rector, Hehle campaigned for the reconstruction of the upper part of the tower of the former college church, which burned down in 1769, in 1885/86 and provided the church with new altars and choir stalls; the interior was completely lost after the secularization. In the grammar school church he introduced the brotherhood of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. With the Ehingen Konviktsvorstand Joseph Herter and the parish priest Max Ströbele, Hehle founded the "Collegio St. Josephi".

In addition to his professional work and especially since his retirement in 1908, Hehle has distinguished himself through numerous historical studies on Ehingen and its surroundings. In his early work he dealt with humanism, especially with the Ehingen humanist Jakob Locher , for which the city of Ehingen granted him honorary citizenship on August 4, 1875. The Winckelhofer patrician family from Ehingen investigated further work. The focus of his research, however, was the Ehingen church history with studies of the St. Blasius parish church and its grave monuments, the Franciscan monastery with the Church of Our Lady and the monastery in Groggental. Furthermore, Hehle dealt in two works with the history of his place of work, the Ehingen high school. As for the immediate vicinity of Ehingen, he was interested in the history of the Urspring Monastery and the Justingen mathematician and astronomer Johannes Stöffler . The anthology Geschichtliche Forschungen über Ehingen and the surrounding area from 1925 summarized earlier studies and expanded them on the basis of new archive finds.

His home parish Niederwangen granted him honorary citizenship on August 30, 1925 on the occasion of his diamond jubilee as a priest. In addition to the honorary citizenship granted in 1875, the city of Ehingen also honored Hehle by naming the street behind the grammar school on Hehlestrasse . His home community Niederwangen also named the Dr.-Hehle-Weg in his honor .

In addition to these honors, Hehle was also decorated by the state: in 1887 he received the Knight's Cross First Class of the Frederick Order ; In 1902 he was given the rank of V level of the hierarchy. On the occasion of his retirement in 1908 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Württemberg Crown Order.

Hehle lived in Ehingen on Spitalgasse. He died in Ehingen on January 2, 1928 and was buried in his home town of Niederwangen. Hehle was a member of the Catholic student association AV Guestfalia Tübingen .
