Wolfgang von Hausen
Wolfgang von Hausen (* 1553 ; † September 13, 1613 ) was Prince Provost of Ellwangen from 1584 to 1603 and Bishop of Regensburg from 1600/1602 until his death in 1613 .
Wolfgang von Hausen came from the Swabian noble family of the Lords of Hausen . He studied at the University of Ingolstadt . During his tenure, the first witch trials took place in Ellwangen in 1588 . There are also several architectural monuments from his tenure. In 1588, for example, he renewed the south gable on the transept of the Ellwang collegiate church , established the governorship in Ellwangen in 1591, had the manor house built in Ellwangen and initiated the reconstruction of the castle in Wasseralfingen in 1593 . Several groups of calvaries go back to his foundation, such as the one on the Kreuzberg near Abtsgmünd . His provost's coat of arms shows the prince provost's red miter in fields 1 and 4 and his house coat of arms in fields 2 and 3, a striding black ram in silver on a green three-mountain .
From 1600 until his death he was Bishop of Regensburg . With the election of Wolfgang von Hausen, who was ready to face the demands of the Council of Trent , the Regensburg cathedral chapter showed readiness for reform. Wolfgang himself carried out the spiritual tasks of a prince-bishop such as ordination or confirmation . He also campaigned for the establishment of the Catholic League under Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria .
