Peter Friedrich Wallreuther (* 1712 in Worms-Herrnsheim ; † February 13, 1786 , in Worms ) was a Catholic priest, canon and dean (head) of the Martinsstift Worms .

origin

The Wallreuther were a middle class family from Kiedrich in the Rheingau , where the grandfather Johann Matthäus Wallreuther officiated as a Kurmainzer Ober schultheiß .

Peter Friedrich Wallreuther was the son of Johann Christoph Wallreuther from Kiedrich and Anna Amalia Kieser from Worms. Both married there in 1710; Anna Amalia Kieser's father was the bishop of Worms and Johann Christoph Wallreuthers brother Johann Anton Wallreuther (1673–1734) lived as a clergyman in the diocese of Worms, from 1731 he served as auxiliary bishop. The great uncle Michael Schnock († 1727) was the abbot of the Eberbach monastery .

Live and act

Peter Friedrich Wallreuther studied theology at the University of Heidelberg , where he appears in the registers in 1731.

He was ordained a priest before 1734, as he was already listed as a jubilee priest in the Mainz court calendar of 1784, i.e. had been ordained for at least 50 years.

Wallreuther became a canon at the Martinsstift Worms and served as the dean there from 1776 until his death in 1786. The dean was the head of this collegiate foundation . According to the funerary inscription, he was also pastor of the Lambertus parish incorporated into the monastery .

He was buried in the collegiate church of St. Martin zu Worms, where his elaborate epitaph has been preserved to this day. The coat of arms depicted on it bears a five-pointed aristocratic crown , so that Dean Wallreuther and his family were probably ennobled .

relative

The older brother of Peter Friedrich Wallreuther was Michael Anton Wallreuther (* 1711), Chancellor of the secular government of the Duchy of Worms . His two sons Peter Friedrich (1744-1814) and Philipp Franz Ignaz (1751-1811) also became priests. The former was the last dean of the Worms Liebfrauenstift from 1782 to 1802 , while Philipp Franz Ignaz was cantor at the Paulusstift .
