Ketteler, Wilhelm Emanuel von (ket’e-ler). A distinguished German prelate; born at Mònster, Dec. 25, 1811; died at Burghausen, Bavaria, July 13, 1877. One of the ablest of German ultramontanists; bishop of Mentz (1850), and member of the first Reichstag (1871). He wrote on the questions of the day.
