About Theodor Innitzer

Theodor Innitzer (25 December 1875 – 9 October 1955) was Archbishop of Vienna and a cardinal of the Catholic Church. Despite his initial support for the Nazi party, his home later became a refuge for Jews, while he strove to alleviate public misery and restore the Austrian Church, disassociating himself from politics. After completing the minimum mandatory school, Innitzer became an apprentice in a textile factory. The dean of his home parish supported young Theodor, thus paving the way for him to attend higher schools (Gymnasium) in Kaaden.
