Götz Memorial

The stone pyramid is dedicated to the district forester Max Götz. He had evidently gained great respect from his colleagues. Götz was married to a woman née Bareiter, which older Burglengenfeld residents will probably be familiar with - she ran a drugstore on Kallmünzer Straße. Max Götz was killed on June 8, 1916 at the front in the First World War, which would also explain the date of the inscription on the stone pyramid.

What kind of shit are you writing here? Max Josef Götz died in the war in 1916. The natural monument has nothing to do with what you write there. Nothing idolatrous monument. If so, then the Götz monument!

Born in Burglengenfeld in Upper Palatinate, Georg Joseph Götz graduated from the (now) Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich in 1821, then attended the University of Landshut and in 1824 entered the episcopal seminary in Regensburg; on May 1, 1825 he was ordained a priest in Regensburg.

After two years as chaplain in Sallern and Eilsbrunn, he was appointed as a teacher at the Latin school in Ingolstadt. Götz stayed in this office for five years and wrote his first work "Guide to Bavarian History" here. In 1832 he became pastor of Etterzhausen and in 1834 of Gnadenberg (belonging to Berg bei Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz). In the so-called Prussian mixed marriage dispute, he appeared in the media and defended the Catholic position.

His writings caught the attention of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, who named Georg Joseph Götz the cathedral capitular in Würzburg in 1840. From 1843 to 1859 he was also a pastor there, in 1848/1849 he was one of the co-founders of the Pius clubs in Franconia. In 1851 he was awarded the Knight's Cross 1st Class of the Order of Merit by Saint Michael, on November 12, 1859 he became Würzburg Cathedral Dean and in 1865 official of the diocese. From 1856 to 1858 Götz was a member of the Aschaffenburg constituency in the Bavarian State Parliament. When the Bavarian Patriot Party formed in 1869, he was one of the well-known supporters of the new foundation. His last national appearance was in November 1870, as a preacher at the Bavarian pilgrimage to the grave of St. Heinrich in Bamberg. Soon afterwards the priest became seriously ill and died of a heart condition on January 3, 1871. According to the death certificate, he lived and died in the Marmelstein Palace in Würzburg, Domerschulgasse 2 (now the Episcopal Ordinary).

Georg Joseph Götz wrote several historical and a large number of religious books. Many of his sermons appeared in print.
