NEUDECKER, SIGISMUND. - Franciscan theologian, b. 21 Oct. 1664 at Geisenhausen (southern Bavaria), d. at Munich on 3 Sept. 1736.
He taught philosophy, theology and canon law; he was three times custos and three times provincial (1714-17, 1723-26, 1732-35); he also visited the provinces of Austria (1708) and Bohemia (1710). A man of great learning and activity, he contributed much to the development of his Order in Bavaria, erecting 10 new convents and codifying the norms for the education of young religious (Statuti, 1717). His Schola religiosa was published posthumously in 2 vols. (Munich 1738). He also promoted the foreign missions and the Third Order: he sent a mission to Transylvania and Bulgaria (1724), erected orphanages and in various convents established the Liebsbund in imitation of the Italian Monti di pietà.
