from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Plantsch (also Blantsch; * around 1460 probably in Dornstetten ; † on July 18, 1533 in Tübingen ) was a German Roman Catholic theologian, university professor and pastor at the Tübingen collegiate church .

Live and act

Paddling grew up in Dornstetten in the Black Forest and was probably a son of the resident Scherer and Bader Hans Blantsch. Possibly this one owned a local bathing room. September 14, 1477 was the day of his matriculation at the University of Heidelberg . After one semester he changed his place of study and went to the University of Tübingen . In May 1478 Plantsch obtained there the academic degree of a baccalaureus and in March 1483 he was awarded a Magister artium and in 1494 a Magister Theologiae . Plantsch represented the nominalist Via moderna. He was appointed a member of the Council of the Artists' Faculty and an examiner. After extensive teaching activities, he and his friend Wendelin Steinbach , a student and later editor of Gabriel Biel , received his doctorate in April 1494 as Doctor theologiae . He administered the deanery of the artist faculty in the winter semester 1488/89, and in the winter semester 1489/90 he took over the post of rector himself as Biel's successor and Steinbach's predecessor. From 1484 he was pastor, first in Validlingen , then in Dusslingen , a position which he filled from 1484 to 1488. On October 7, 1491 he was introduced to the office of pastor at the collegiate church of St. George, which he held as pastor and preacher until 1527.

On January 29, 1523, he took part in the First Religious Discussion in Zurich with Zwingli, but according to the judgment of his opponents, he showed little skill; On his return journey, his attempt at a Catholic sermon at the cathedral monastery in Konstanz was prevented by the Reformed preacher Johannes Wanner . His companions were u. a. Vicar General Johann Fabri and the Episcopal Court Master Fritz Jakob von Anweil .

Plantsch died according to a report by the Tübingen polyhistor Martin Crusius (1526-1607) on July 18, 1533, before the Reformation was introduced by Duke Ulrich's return in Württemberg . In his only printed work, the Tractatus de sagis maleficis , he takes a consistent nominalist position. Even the work of witches is said to be tolerated by God and therefore not combinable or persecutable .

In 1509, Plantsch together with Georg Hartsesser , a Stuttgart canon, donated the Collegium Sanctorum Georgii et Martini , which granted students without means free board and lodging. This Martinianum scholarship was the most important of the Tübingen scholarship foundations. Martin Plantsch set up the student dormitory in the buildings at Lange Gasse 6 and 8. Since Hartsesser died in 1518, Plantsch continued the construction, but it was not until 1512 that the foundation was recognized by Duke Ulrich from Württemberg . It is thanks to his skillful management and political measures that the foundation consolidated.
