RIEDER, KARL JOSEPH. - German Church historian, b. at Ermendingen on 9 Feb. 1876, d. at Reichenau-Niederzell on 4 Sept. 1931.

A priest in 1899, he became parish priest at Scherzingen in 1908, whence he moved in 1911 to Bonndorf and in 1924 to Reichenau-Niederzell. He obtained his doctorate in philosophy in 1902 and in theology in 1909. From 1910 to 1919 he edited the diocesan archive of Fribourg (Freiburger Diocesan-Archiv). A pupil of Heinrich Finke, he was commissioned in 1901 to continue the registers of the bishops of Constance (Regesta episcoporum Constantinesum), which he carried on down to 1480. He resided in Rome in the years 1904-1905 and was able to publish the Roman sources on the history of the bishopric of Constance (Romische Quellen zur Konstanzer Bistumgeschichte zur Zeit der Popste in Asiguen, 1908). He published many works of various kinds, on problems of the day (e.g., Zur innerkirchlichen Krisis des heutigen Protestantismus, 1910) and on pastoral subjects.
