  • Born in Stuttgart, Rupert Mayer studied philosophy and theology in Freiburg, Munich and Tübingen. He was, among other things, a member of A.V. Guestfalia Tübingen and K.D.St.V. Aenania München, two Studentenverbindungen that belong to the Cartellverband der katholischen deutschen Studentenverbindungen. In 1899, he was ordained a priest and joined the Society of Jesus in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, Austria (then Austria-Hungary) in 1900. From 1906, he moved about Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands as a People's Commissioner. From 1914, he was a chaplain at the front in the First World War. In 1916, he lost his left leg after it was injured in a grenade attack. He was the first chaplain to win the Iron Cross. He worked managing a clerical retreat, as a preacher, and as of 1921 as a leader of the Marian Congregation in Munich. In 1937, he found himself in "protective custody" for six months, and for seven months after that, he was in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He was released from there on the condition of a broad ban on preaching. Until the liberation by the US forces in May 1945, he lived Ettal Abbey. An American Officer returned him to Munich, where he received a hero's welcome. He died on his feet on 1 November 1945 of a stroke, while he was celebrating Mass, in Munich. Facing the congregation, THE LORD THE LORD THE LORD. These were his last words. Accompanied by thousands of mourners, Rupert Mayer was first buried at the Jesuitenfriedhof in Pullach. Due to the steady stream of pilgrims, his remains were moved to Munich in 1948 and were reburied in the Unterkirche of the Bürgersaalkirche, where his continued popularity as a Bavarian hero and intercessor is documented.
