Carl Maria Splett (17 January 1898 – 5 March 1964) was a German Roman Catholic priest and Bishop of Danzig, after World War II he was imprisoned in Poland and exiled in West Germany. ==Early life== Splett was born in Zoppot (Sopot) to the teacher and later Vice-president of the Free City of Danzig's Parliament (Volkstag), Franz Splett.〔(biographie.de )〕 He visited school in Konitz (Chojnice), Neustadt (Wejherowo) and Danzig (Gdańsk), where he passed his Abitur in 1917. Splett studied Theology and Philosophy at the Seminary of the Diocese of Kulm in Pelplin, where he also learned Polish.〔 He was ordained on 10 July 1921 and after graduating at Pelplin, he was sent to Rome for further studies, especially in Canon law, and practiced at the Sacra Rota Romana.〔 Splett returned to Danzig in 1924 and became a vicar at several congregations within the then Apostolic Administration of Danzig (elevated to diocese in 1925), he further promoted to cathedral capitular of Oliva in 1935. According to Czesław Madajczyk Splett held close relations to Nazi Albert Forster, and pursued plans to replace Polish clergy with German one.〔 Bolesław Kumor claims he provided Forster with housing when the Nazi official first arrived in the city, and Forster in return supported Splett politically; as a result Splett enjoyed full support of Nazi party.〔Czasy współczesne 1914-1992, Volume 8 Bolesław Kumor Redakcja Wydawnictw Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2001〕 Forster praised Splett's work for Nazis saying "This is my man, I can fully rely on his work"〔Wierni Bogu i ojczyźnie: duchowiénstwo katolickie w walce o niepodległość Polski w II wojnie światowej Stanisław Podlewski page 161 Novum, 1971〕 Splett succeeded Edward O'Rourke as the head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Danzig in 1938. While the Nazis, who ruled the Free State of Danzig since 1933, tried to install their own candidate, Paul Schütz, as successor of Bishop O'Rourke, Splett was appointed as Bishop by the Pope. Splett also refused to appoint Schütz as vicar general as demanded by the local Nazis.〔 Zofia Waszkiewicz claims he was supported by Nazi Forster who became his protector.〔Polityka Watykanu wobec Polski 1939-1945 Zofia Waszkiewicz page 171 Państ.
