Pantaleon Rosmann (born August 6, 1776 in Oberrotweil ; † March 3, 1853 in Breisach am Rhein ) was a German Roman Catholic priest .

Life

Pantaleon Rosmann was born in Rotweil, as was his long-time friend and companion Faustin Ens (1782–1858). The two attended grammar school in Breisach and studied at the University of Freiburg . When both Austrians fought against the French in the coalition wars, they parted ways: Ens was arrested in 1799 and held captive in the casemates of Breisach for some time. Rosmann, however, became an artillery officer and was involved in the capture of Breisach on October 12, 1796. According to Weiß, he is said to have even captured the French flag.

He was ordained a priest on September 14, 1802 in Meersburg and then worked as vicar in Waldkirch near Waldshut as well as chaplain in Waldshut , assistant priest in Oberrimsingen and parish administrator in Gündlingen. In 1806 he began his service in Breisach, first as vicar, then as parish administrator and finally, from 1819, as city pastor and school dean. From 1834 to 1842 he expanded the hospital on the market square, which had been destroyed during the war, mainly from his own resources.

In 1844 he clarified that the mummified head, which has been kept in the Bibliothèque municipale de Colmar since 1796 , is not that of Bailiff Peter von Hagenbach . In 1851 Rosmann and Ens, who had meanwhile become a professor in Troppau , published their history of the city of Breisach . Most of the content and capital for the project came from Rosmann, while Ens brought the work into shape.

Pantaleon Rosmann died on March 3, 1853. There is an epitaph for him in the hospital church of Breisach , which was made by the Freiburg sculptor Josef Alois Knittel . His tombstone can also be found in the old Breisach cemetery at the Josefskirche.

Rosmann was bearer of the Knight's Cross of the Order of the Zähringer Lion . (1835) and honorary citizen of Breisach. A hospital was named after him there in 1958.
