Anzer stones

Highlight • Monument

Johann Baptist von Anzer

Johann Baptist Anzer was born on May 16, 1851 in Weinrieth in Upper Palatinate as the son of a farmer and butcher. He attended the Regensburg Lyceum and Seminary, where he studied theology for four semesters. In Anzer the idea of becoming a missionary rather than a diocesan priest began to grow.
In 1875 he joined the first German Catholic mission house in Steyl/Holland, from which the missionary order of the “Society of the Divine Word” was to develop in the following years. There he was ordained a priest in 1876 and was sent on a mission to China in 1879 together with the South Tyrolean priest Josef Freinademetz. In 1882, the Upper Palatinate native became head of his mission area in southern Shantung.
On December 22, 1885, Anzer was founded by Pope Leo XIII. appointed Vicar Apostolic of Scian-Ton Meridionale, and was appointed titular bishop on January 4, 1886.
In 1897 Anzer was raised to the nobility by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria.
Bishop Anzer died unexpectedly of a stroke on November 24, 1903 during a stay at the Collegio Teutonico di Santa Maria dell' Anima in Rome. He was buried in the Campo Santo Teutonico German Cemetery next to St. Peter's Basilica.

Idyllically, the Trausnitzer reservoir is surrounded by wooded bank slopes in the picturesque Pfreimdtal. Small, romantic bays in the middle of nature invite you to relax.
