A post of cathedral preacher was donated for the first time at Passau Cathedral in 1457 . From 1587 the cathedral preachers came from the Franciscan order , from 1611 temporarily supported by Jesuits , who were replaced by the Capuchins in 1672 . The Capuchins' mission to preach was renewed in 1683 and 1786. At times there were two or three cathedral preachers. In the 19th century, as a result of secularization, there was no longer a full-time cathedral preacher. From 1926 Capuchins were again entrusted with this task.
