biography
Sigismund Friedrich was a son of the businessman and humanist Hans Jakob Fugger (* 1516; † 1575) and Ursula von Harrach (* 1522; † 1554). Among his brothers, some of whom were also appointed clerical dignitaries, there were also Karl and Ferdinand as Spanish colonels and Maximilian as the Teutonic Order of Sterzing.
As a young man he had benefices as a canon in Salzburg , Passau and Regensburg. From 1580 to 1589 he was cathedral dean in Salzburg, from 1596 to 1598 in Passau, from 1586 to 1595 pastor of Kirchberg am Wagram . In 1597 he became provost of the cathedral in Regensburg, and on July 2, 1598 he was elected bishop.
Sigmund took over a bishopric that was heavily indebted due to the burden of war and poor harvests . As a bishop, Sigmund Friedrich endeavored to continue the reform work of the diocese administrator Jakob Miller , who had directed and administered the diocese for the minor Regensburg bishop and cardinal Philipp Wilhelm Duke of Bavaria from 1587 to 1597 . In accordance with the reform demands of the Council of Trent , the faithful were exhorted to frequently receive the sacrament of penance, compliance with the duty of celibacy of the diocesan priests was monitored and the obligation to hold religious instruction in the parishes of the diocese was imposed. He died of a stone disease.
