Blessed Hanz Wagner

Blessed Hanz Wagner, also known as Hans and John, was born around 1456 in Riedlinger, Germany. He began his spiritual journey as a young man when he joined the Carthusians at the Ittingen convent near Frauenfeld, Thurgau, Switzerland in 1475. Hanz made his vows as a lay brother in 1476, eager to live a life of contemplation and devotion.
