Robert Stadler (Abbot)
Robert Stadler OSB (born February 19, 1706 in Vienna ; † January 4, 1765 ibid) was an Austrian Benedictine and abbot of the Vienna Schottenstift .
Life
Stadler entered the Scots Abbey of Vienna in 1724, where he made his profession the following year and was ordained a priest in 1730. First he worked for a few years as a professor of philosophy at the collegiate school, then he became a preacher and curate at the collegiate church . In 1749 Abbot Karl Fetzer appointed him subprior of the monastery and pastor of the monastery parish.
After Fetzer's death, Stadler was elected abbot of the Schottenstift in 1750 . As such, he succeeded in redeveloping the indebted and financially poor monastery. He had the Schottenhöfe, the extensive building complex around the monastery, expanded by a wing in 1754 - not least to increase rental income. In the Hungarian Jenö (today Budajenö ), which belonged to the Telki Abbey , which had belonged to the Schottenstift since 1702, he had the parish church rebuilt in 1755. The Viennese Archbishop Christoph Anton von Migazzi entrusted Stadler in 1759 with a visit to the Vienna Benedictine monastery of Montserrat ( Black Spaniard Monastery ), which was divided by discord .
