Life

Severin Blaß was born on April 10, 1651 in Ischl and baptized in the name of Max Karl. He made his profession on January 6, 1669 in Lambach Abbey and studied at the Universities of Graz and Salzburg , where he was enrolled as a physicist on November 12, 1669 . As a student of metaphysics and canon law , he had a disputation in 1670 on the subject of "De coelesti et elementari orbe". On October 15, 1670 he received his doctorate as Dr. phil. ; on November 13, 1675, he celebrated his first Mass . He was then master of novices and from 1677 until he was elected abbot on November 4, 1678, professor of philosophy at the University of Salzburg. After holding a little more than a month, the function of the abbot, he was born on December 24, 1678 for the Imperial Council and appointed on May 1, 1679 benediziert . From 1681 to 1683, Blaß also acted as assistant to the Benedictine Confederation of Salzburg University for the Austrian province. Pale was seen as a promoter of monastic discipline and science and introduced in-house studies for philosophy and theology in Lambach , although clerics continued to be sent to Salzburg to study. The efforts made by Placidus Hieber von Greifenfels to canonize the monastery founder Adalbero von Wels-Lambach were further promoted by Blaß. Only under Abbot John of Lasser took place in 1883, the canonization of the founder monastery.

During Severin Blaß's time as Abbot of Lambach, there was an upswing in theater in Lambach. Furthermore, the Loreto chapel of the monastery was built between 1682 and 1690, as well as the sacraments chapel with the chapter house above and the gate wing with the large library room in the years 1690 to 1699. He also had the fortifications around the monastery torn down and in 1693 erect the marble portal. The building of the church as it is today goes back to the building activities of Blaß, his predecessor Placidus Hieber and his successor Maximilian Pagl . As abbot, Blaß also had the staircase with portal to the abbey and the staircase from the abbey to the chapter house built. Furthermore, restoration work was carried out on the collegiate church during his tenure. In 1700, under the leadership of Abbot Severin, there was a confraternity with the Cassinese Congregation , whose privileges Lambach then received. When Vienna was ravaged by the plague , in 1679 Blaß sent two conventuals there as pastors "to comfort the sick". One of the two, Pater Placidus Zinner, died of the disease in the same year. During his term of office, Prince Paul I Esterházy de Galantha received the right of presentation for collegiate capital for the parish Maria-Haid near Oldenburg in the diocese of Raab .

On January 2, 1705, pale died, still in office, at the age of 53 in Linz , where he was at the time for state parliament negotiations.
