Clemens August Ferdinand Maria Hyazinth von Bayern. Grand Master of the Teutonic Order of Knights. He was Archbishop of Cologne and simultaneously Prince-bishop of Regensburg, Münster, Osnabrück, Paderborn and Hildesheim, in addition to holding numerous earthly titles of nobility. He was the nephew of Archbishop Joseph Clemens, who is also buried in the cathedral. He died at Schloss (Castle) Philippsburg in Ehrenbreitstein, now a part of the city of Koblenz. It was not unusual for the body parts of a dead nobleman to be distributed for burial among different churches, and that was the case with Clemens August von Bayern. His heart went to the Gnadenkapelle ("Grace Chapel") at Altötting; his entrails to St. Remigius in Bonn; and his brain, eyes and tongue to the Kapuzinergruft (Crypt of the Capuchins) in Bonn.
