Who they were

A lawyer and Centre Party politician, he sat in the Reichstag from 1912 and was president of the Württemberg Landtag from 1928 to 1933; arrested for helping Swabian Jews and later drawn into the Goerdeler circle, he was condemned by the People's Court and executed at Plötzensee prison in Berlin.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The diocesan inquiry into his martyrdom opened at Rottenburg-Stuttgart on 22 May 2015.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
