Live and act

Schlecht received his training at the episcopal college in Eichstätt , where he was ordained a priest on May 6, 1880. This was followed by nine years as a pastor before he went to Rome for two years as a scholarship holder at the Historical Institute of the Görres Society . In 1891 he was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD. He then became a lecturer in history and philology at the episcopal lyceum in Eichstätt, in 1893 he went to the royal lyceum in Dillingen and from 1897 to 1924 he taught at the royal lyceum in Freising.

His main scientific field of work was German humanism and the era of the Reformation .

In 1892, Schlecht was a co-founder of the Catholic student association Akademia-Eichstätt in the KV as well as an honorary member of the KV - association K.St.V. Ottonia Munich.

Joseph Schlecht carried the honorary titles of Privy Councilor , Papal House Prelate and Archbishop Spiritual Council . A street in Freising is named after him.

Works

Schlecht published a whole series of writings, mostly of church history. Together with Paul Maria Baumgarten (1860–1948) he published the three-volume monumental work The Catholic Church of Our Time and its Servants in Word and Image on behalf of the Austrian Leo Society between 1899 and 1902 . In 1902, Joseph Schlecht processed the Bavarian material that had also been collected for this purpose into a separate book under the title Bavaria's Church Provinces - An Overview of the History and Current Existence of the Catholic Church in the Kingdom of Bavaria . Both works contain an enormous number of historical photos and are sought-after sources for church history today.
