Biography
Joseph Hubert Reinkens (1821-96), German Old Catholic bishop and historian, was born at Burtscheid (now part of Aachen) in the Rhine Province. He studied theology at the universities of Bonn and Munich, was ordained priest in 1848, and in 1849 graduated as doctor in theology. He was soon appointed professor of ecclesiastical history at Breslau, and in 1865 he was made rector of the university. The Old Catholics having decided to separate themselves from the Church of Rome, Reinkens was chosen their bishop in Germany at an enthusiastic meeting at Cologne in 1873. He died at Bonn on 4 January 1896.
