Kaspar Friedrich Brieden

Kaspar Friedrich Brieden (born June 24, 1844 in Olpe ; † June 12, 1908 in Arnsberg ) was a Roman Catholic clergyman and provost in Magdeburg and Arnsberg.

Life

Brieden was born in the Sauerland and graduated from high school in Brilon in 1865 . He studied Catholic theology in Paderborn and was ordained a priest there in 1869 . For two years he worked as a cooperator and rectorate teacher in Soest , then for 18 years as a monastery chaplain in Dresden . In 1889, Bishop Franz Kaspar Drobe appointed him provost for the Propsteigemeinde St. Marien at the Sankt Sebastian Church in Magdeburg and thus Bishop Commissioner of the Episcopal Commissariat of Magdeburg. He also became dean of the Magdeburg dean's office in 1892 . In that year, Brieden initiated the renaming of the St. Marien congregation to St. Sebastian, as the Propsteigemeinde had transferred the name Mariengemeinde from the monastery of Our Lady Magdeburg to the St. Sebastian Church, which had been assigned to it by the state since 1873. In 1898, Brieden asked in a sermon for donations to build a house for charity. By purchasing a piece of land in Magdeburg-Wilhelmstadt, he created the basis for the planned construction of the Marienstift , which his successor Franz Schauerte was able to realize from 1904 onwards. As early as 1901 Brieden went back to his homeland in the Sauerland, where he was provost in Arnsberg until his death .
