Life

The baptismal font , donated by von Sode in 1590 and cast by Mante Pelckinck in 1592, in the Church of the Holy Cross in Hildesheim

Moritz vom Sode was a descendant of the Hanoverian merchant and patrician family von Soden , which can be traced back to the Middle Ages and who provided several councilors and mayors over the centuries . According to the Wäskenbok , von Sode was the youngest son of the Hanoverian citizen Hans von Sode and Katharina Krudener .

In October 1549 he enrolled at the University of Cologne . He finished his studies in 1551 with the title of licentiate in theology .

Later von Sode in Hildesheim became "senior canon of the collegiate monastery Holy Cross and provost of the Hildesheim nunnery of St. Mary Magdalene ". After the canon had already become provost in Hildesheim in 1575, he left the building complex Mühlenstrasse 18 to 20 (formerly with house numbers 1403 to 1405 , destroyed in World War II) for the curia from the income of the Maria Magdalenen monastery on May 8, 1577 of the pen.

About a decade later, von Sode donated a legacy to his hometown Hanover as one of the first civic foundations after the Reformation , with which, according to the foundation deed of 1587, a hospital for eighteen needy people, nine men and nine women, was to be built on the site of the former barefoot monastery . This so-called " Sodensche monastery " later grew together to form the old people's home called Rats- und von-Soden-Kloster and was one of the namesake of the monastery walk on the Leine .

In 1590 Moritz vom Sode donated the baptismal font, which was cast by Hildesheim caster Mante Pelckinck until 1592, to the Catholic Church of the Holy Cross in Hildesheim . The two pedestals with the figures of the apostles Peter and Paul in front of the church were also donated by vom Sode in 1603.

In 1606, the year of his death at the latest, there was an inscription on the front of the (no longer existing) building in Hildesheimer Straße Am Platze 7 (formerly house number 477 ) on the “side after the Meyerhof” with reference to Moritz von Sode as “founder [ ...] of the House of the Vicariate ”.

Moritz vom Sode was buried in the middle of the Holy Cross Church in 1606 near his foundation; therefore "it can be assumed that the south aisle was not the original location of the baptism either."
