resume

After completing high school and seminary in Strasbourg and being ordained a priest, Liebermann became director of the Strasbourg seminary in 1783. After working as a minster preacher from 1784, he became pastor in Ernolsheim-Bruche in 1787 . He opposed the recommendation to Catholics to buy up secularized church property and refused to take the oath on the civil constitution of the clergy . In the First Coalition War , Bishop Louis René Édouard de Rohan-Guéméné, who fled to his possessions on the right bank of the Rhine, moved the Strasbourg seminary to the monastery of All Saints (Black Forest) , where Liebermann taught canon law and dogmatics .

In 1795 he came secretly to his pastorate and became 1801 again Munster preacher and secretary in the diocesan administration, but he returned to differences with Bishop Jean-Baptiste Pierre Saurine already in 1803 after Ernolsheim as pastor back. When the Mainz bishop Joseph Ludwig Colmar founded a seminary in the same year , he called Liebermann to its regens .

In 1804 Liebermann was arrested and released after about 234 days " en surveillance " (= under supervision). From 1805 he was a seminar rain and cathedral preacher in Martin's Cathedral . Police supervision was lifted in 1808. In addition to pastoral theology, he lectured in the following subjects: from 1805 to 1811 canon law, from 1812 to 1822 dogmatics and then church history and canon law. It was therefore natural that he should get involved in the Mainz district .

In 1824 he returned from Mainz to Strasbourg and became vicar general there in 1828 .
