Live and act

Joseph Pfriemb came from Lower Franconia and was born in Gaibach near Volkach. Pfriemb entered the Jesuit order on July 14, 1732.

In 1748 and 1749 he taught ethics and physics at the University of Mainz . Here he published his dissertation Unde terrae motus, quibus urbs Lima in America australi a 1746 , on the earthquake of Lima at the time ; 1749 also a polemic against the Erfurt professor Andreas Gordon , because of his polemics against scholastic logic and physics. Gordon was largely supported by his university colleagues. The University of Erfurt was subordinate to the Archbishop of Mainz and Pfriemb's polemic apparently led to his transfer to Bamberg . There he worked from 1750 to 1761 as a theology professor at the university. In 1761 his publication Consuetudines patriae Bambergenses de conjugali bonorum ac praecipue prolium unione appeared here , which Prince-Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim brought against him. From September 9, 1762 Joseph Pfriemb officiated as rector of the Jesuit College Speyer , at the same time he taught theology at the University of Heidelberg from 1767 . In 1771 the Jesuit appears as a theology professor at the University of Fulda ; The date and place of death are not known.

Pfriemb published various scientific and theological works.
