Josef Miller

Josef Miller (22 April 1890 – 24 November 1985) was a German Jesuit theologian and superior who worked mainly in Austria.

Josef Miller was born in Lengmoos (Lower Bavaria); his parents were practicing Catholics and ran a bakery.

The order was still forbidden in Germany as a result of the Kulturkampf, so he entered the Austrian Jesuit Province instead.

The novitiate (1908-1910) took place in St. Andrä in the Lavanttal; after that he finished his schooling (1910-1912) and graduated from Kalksburg College in Vienna.

When his health no longer permitted him to do this, he moved to the sanatorium of the Sisters of the Cross in the Tirolean village of Rum.

His funeral took place in Innsbruck's Jesuit Church, and he was buried in its crypt on 27 November 1985, with Bishop Reinhold Stecher presiding.
