Franz Hunolt (also Humold or Hunoldt; 31 March 1691, at Siegen – 12 September 1746, at Trier) was a German Catholic priest and preacher.
After this, he taught in the gymnasium at Cologne and also at Aachen, to the complete satisfaction of his superiors (summâ cum laude), being at the same time spiritual director of the junior Sodality.
Chronic weakness of the heart rendered it impossible for him to preach; consequently, in 1743, he was transferred to the position of master of novices at Trier, and died there three years later.
There have been several editions of both the Ratisbon version and the Graz, while abridgements and selected sermons have been frequently republished.
Franz Xaver Kraus describes Hunolt's sermons as follows: "At a time when German pulpit oratory had degenerated into utter bad taste and brainless insipidity, these sermons are distinguished by noble simplicity, pure Christian sentiment, and genuine apostolic ideas no less than by the felicitous use of Holy Writ, abundance of thought and pregnant language."
