SCHMÖGER, CARL. - Redemptorist writer, b. at Ehingen (Württemberg) on 24 Feb. 1819, d. at Gars on 14 Aug. 1883. Ordainedpriest in 1842, he entered the Redemptorists at Altötting in 1850, was rector of the house of Gars on the Inn in 1865-68 and in 1868-83, during the Kulturkampf, superior of the province of Upper Germany.
To S. are owed excellent translations of certain works of St. Alphonsus, St. Bonaventure and St. Bridget; he is the biographer of the famous visionary of Dülmen, Anna Catherine Emmerick (v.) and editor of her visions. Having received from the Benedictine abbot Haneberg the manuscripts of Clement Brentano (now in the general house of the Redemptorists), who had published only the Passion and the Life of the Madonna, S. published in 1858-60 the public life of Jesus in 3 vols. and in 1867-70, in 2 vols., the life of the Visionary with many visions, translated into Italian and into 4 other languages. Finally he published the great synthesis of the biblical visions: Das arme Leben und bittere Leiden Jesu Christi und seiner heiligsten Mutter Maria nebst den Geheimnissen des Alten
Bundes (Ratisbon 1881) in one vol. of pp. 1210 in-4°, with beautiful illustrations by his subject, brother Maximilian Schmalzl (4th ed. 1892, edited by G. Wiggermann).
