Life

Vincenz Darnaut was born as the son of a professor at the Theresian Military Academy .

He attended the lower schools of the Piarists in Vienna and then began studying philosophy and law at the University of Vienna , but then entered the archbishopric alumnate and devoted himself to the study of theology. In 1795 he was ordained a priest and was initially vicar in Ebersdorf , then he came to the parish at the court in Vienna until he was employed as court chaplain in the court and castle parish in 1799. As such, he took over the chair of church history in 1803 and received his theological doctorate the following year, 1804.

Vincenz Darnaut also worked for Jakob Frint's Theological Journal .

In 1819 he drew up the plan for the publication of the ecclesiastical topography of Austria and founded the Association for the ecclesiastical topography of Austria , which was generously sponsored by Canon Johann Christoph Stelzhammer (1750-1840). The association created an eighteen-volume work, of which Vincenz Darnaut created the first two volumes himself. The individual pictorial representations show church buildings and monuments in simply designed, colored line lithographs . The work was a comprehensive representation of the existing monuments, regardless of their different historical and artistic significance.

Vincenz Darnaut was also the confessor of Emperor Franz II .

Due to his poor health, he was relieved of his teaching post by order of the emperor, and he died shortly afterwards.
