Julius Wilhelm Imandt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Wilhelm Imandt (born April 3, 1846 in Prüm ; † August 3, 1915 in Trier ) was a German Catholic theologian.

Life

Imandt grew up in Trier-Feyen. After his ordination on August 30, 1873, he became a chaplain in Dillingen / Saar . Imandt's assumption of office in Dillingen took place without a state registration. As a result of the Kulturkampf , the pastoral position in the parish of St. Maximin , which is adjacent to Dillingen, in the parish of leasing , which had been vacant since 1868, was no longer occupied. The salary of Dillingen pastor Peter Hillen had been blocked and the pastoral activities were severely hindered. After the kingdom of Prussia suspended salaries for the parish of Dillingen , the population of Dillingen stepped in with voluntary donations. The Kulturkampf conditions in Dillingen further intensified the anti-Prussian resentment of the Catholic population of Dillingen. In Dillingen and in the surrounding areas there were protest meetings organized by the Center Party . On May 5, 1874, Imandt was arrested for political reasons and imprisoned in Saarbrücken . As a result, several hundred people gathered in front of the rectory in Dillingen for a protest rally. Pastor Hillen called on the population to calm down against the Prussian government Bismarck, so that there was no further escalation. Imandt remained in custody until July 1874 and was expelled from Prussia in September 1874.

After a secret return he then went into exile in Austria (pastor in Weyer (Upper Austria) ) in consultation with Bishop Matthias Eberhard , then stayed in Bavaria ( Altomünster , Kleinheubach / Lower Franconia, Wörth am Rhein / Diöz. Speyer) and Belgium (1876 –1884 vicar in Brussels ). In Brussels he was President of the German Journeyman's Association. From 1884 to 1888 Imandt was an assistant chaplain in Damscheid in the Hunsrück and was only able to return to the Saar after the Kulturkampf had subsided, where he was pastor in Roden from 1888 to 1912 . Here he had the old baroque church from 1750 torn down and, according to plans by the Roden architect Wilhelm Hector , initiated the construction of the new parish church of the Assumption in the form of a neo-Gothic basilica in the years 1898–1900 . The new building was consecrated on April 29, 1902.

Imandt held his last pastor in the years 1912–1914 in Tellig.
