Life

Matthias was a son of his father of the same name, Matthias Coelner, and his wife, who was probably a sister of the Grossig pastor Johann Graß. Matthias still had at least two brothers, on the one hand Johannes Kölner, who later became a professor at the University of Cologne and taught civil and canon law there, and Peter, from whom only his membership in the Order of St. John was deposited. In their youth, all the brothers were educated in schools with a Christian character and in Latin by their uncle and pastor Graß from Bruttig. On October 27, 1466 he enrolled at the Artistic Faculty of the University of Cologne, where he began to study canon law . In 1467 he entered the Dominican monastery in Cologne , in whose order register he was named in 1478 at the same time as a Servatius Fanckel (1450–1508).

He passed his Magister Artium examination on April 20, 1469, his Baccalaureus Artium of Theology followed in 1479 and in 1482 he was called to Rome by the Dominican order general Salvo Casetta (1413–1483) to solve difficult problems. Here, with the support of the Cardinal Protector, he first received his doctorate in theology and shortly thereafter as a doctor of decree . In Rome at this time there was great tension between Pope Sixtus IV and the Archbishop of Kraina Andreas Jamometić , after he had called for another council of Basel on July 21, 1482 in order to initiate reforms for the papal court.

While the Pope responded with an interdict , Salvo Casetta was given the task of establishing Archbishop Jamometić. Casetta passed the order on to Jakob von Stubach, the Provincial of Teutonia, who commissioned Matthias Fanckel, who happened to be or possibly deliberately lecturing in view of the impending danger of the council in Basel. Meanwhile, Matthias was appointed as the representative of the order general as provincial in the German, Bohemian, Saxon and Polish provinces and there he traveled around personally according to his instructions to carry out the order that had been given to him.

As the situation in the dispute over Archbishop Andreas Jamometić in Basel had more and more pointed, the one incriminating nor in August 1482 material against General Casetta had leaked and the city by a papal excommunication was threatened, the archbishop was in Spalenschwibbogen detained in Basel. From September to October 1482 Matthias Fanckel was prior of the preachers' convent and vicar for the women's convents in Alsace in Basel.

In 1488 he left Basel and moved to Heidelberg , since he had been designated for the rain for the order's new study monastery to teach there as a professor.

In 1490 Matthias Fanckel, Dr. theol. et derectorum, permission to place himself under the vicar general of the conventuals , as a member of which he was transferred to the Trier monastery in 1500, where he was found in later records as prior.

On May 18, 1491 he was given the office of " Inquisitor haereticae pravitas " (Office of the Inquisition against Heretical Depravity) of the Archdiocese of Trier and on September 22, 1493 he was appointed Vicar General of the Dominican Conventuals of the Province of Teutonia. On March 5, 1503, he received the task of raising the general discipline of the orders subordinate to him from the Prior General of the Order. Furthermore, he was for many years vicar general of the “ fratres vitae communis ” ( brothers of common life ), which was interpreted as a sign of his high esteem and as an appreciation as an important scholar and preacher.
