Nikola Reinartz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nikola Reinartz (also Nikolaus) (born December 6, 1874 in Kall-Heistert ; † August 4, 1954 in Kreuzweingarten ) was a Catholic clergyman and local researcher.

Life

Reinartz was the son of the landowner Adam Heinrich Reinartz and his wife Gertrud Pünder. After attending school in Schleiden, Bad Münstereifel and Neuss, he began to study theology in Innsbruck . On August 15, 1899, he was ordained a priest in Cologne by the then auxiliary bishop and later Cardinal Anton Fischer . He had his first chaplaincy in Brühl. On April 25, 1920 he was introduced as pastor of Kreuzweingarten.

Local history explorer

He was interested in the history of his homeland from an early age. Over time he published numerous articles in newspapers and magazines. A large part deals with the history of the place Kreuzweingarten. His name is associated with the discovery of the cloister windows of Steinfeld Abbey. They had been sold to England during the French Revolution. When he traveled to London in 1908 for the World Eucharistic Congress, he looked for the missing windows and found them in the palace chapel of a nobleman. Most of them are now in the Victoria and Albert Museum .

As a result of his efforts, Weingarten was given the name Kreuzweingarten in 1927 . In Kreuzweingarten and in his birthplace Kall-Heistert streets are named after him.
