Rogerius Röls
Rogerius Röls (born January 29, 1659 in Schwandorf ; † May 3, 1723 in Kaisheim ) was abbot of the Kaisheim monastery .
Life
Roger (ius) Röls was a son of the Schwandorf blacksmith and nail blacksmith Johann Fabian Röls. His brothers were the Augsburg auxiliary bishop Johann Kasimir Röls and Abbot Amandus Röls from the Holy Cross Monastery in Donauwörth . He entered the Kaisheim monastery in 1679, became a priest in 1686 and was elected abbot on April 15, 1698.
Röls is the most important baroque abbot of the Kaisheim monastery. In his 25-year reign, despite the hardships of the War of the Spanish Succession - he was on the run several times between 1703 and 1708 - the entire monastery complex was completely baroque . He first had the church refurbished, then largely rebuilt the economy and guest buildings to the west. In the years 1716 to 1721 he had the baroque monastery that still exists today built, but also new churches, parsonages and box houses in the monastery and in the neighboring towns.
