Life

On November 17, 1579 he was named as a student at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau . On January 18, 1581 Master Baccalaureus artium and on August 17, 1582 doctorate to Magister artium.

After serving as provost of the Klingnau provost since 1591 , he was elected as successor to Caspar II in September 1596 as the 36th abbot of the St. Blasien monastery . As such, he was significantly involved in the establishment of the Reichsherrschaft Bonndorf , especially through purchases from the Counts of Lupfen . He went to great lengths to build a large library. The Archbishop of Salzburg, Marcus Sittich , demanded scholars from him for his newly founded university , of which Martin Steinegg became the first rector. According to Joseph Bader, he first sent the future abbot Franz Chullot together with three others, of whom Father Steinbeck was appointed the first rain of the Konvikt . In 1597 Abbot Martin had the Berau provost rebuilt.
