Leopold Pelldram (born May 3, 1811 in Schweidnitz ( Lower Silesia ), † May 3, 1867 in Trier ) was Bishop of Trier .

Life

Pelldram came from a family of doctors and studied Catholic theology in Bonn and Breslau . Since 1833 he was a member of the Corps Borussia Breslau . On April 5, 1835, he was ordained a priest in Breslau and was initially an educator in the Count's House of Matuschka in Arnsdorf . In 1840 he became a pastor in Schmiedeberg . In 1844 he moved to the parish of Bad Warmbrunn and from 1846 was also archpriest and district school inspector in Hirschberg . In 1850 he was appointed provost at St. Hedwig's Church in Berlin and the prince-bishop's delegate for the Mark Brandenburg and Pomerania . On April 12, 1859 he received the post of field provost of the Prussian army, as which he took part in the assault on the Düppeler Schanzen on April 18, 1864.

Pelldram had been an honorary member of the Catholic Reading Association (now KStV Askania-Burgundia ) founded in 1853, Berlin, the first corporation in the KV .

On December 29, 1864, the Trier cathedral chapter elected him Bishop of Trier after Matthias Eberhard had been vetoed by the government and the subsequently elected Munich abbot Bonifatius Haneberg had rejected the election. The consecration took place on May 28, 1865 in Breslau, the enthronement in Trier on June 11, 1865.

Pelldram's poor health meant that Vicar General Matthias Martini took over more and more of the official business and Auxiliary Bishop Matthias Eberhard had to perform more and more of the pontifical functions. Pelldram's commitment was to the retreats of his clergy and the Episcopal Konvikt. During his short term in office, he only made three visitation trips. The highlights of this time were the Trier Catholic Day in 1865, the laying of the foundation stone for an extension to the seminary and the inauguration of the Trier Marian Column in 1866. Pelldram's final resting place is in the north aisle of Trier Cathedral .
