Johann von Staupitz

Hi guys, I'm in the process of writitng a fairly detailed paper on Luther and am doing a little bit of history on Johann von Staupitz. I know he was the vicar General of the Augustinians in Germany and that type of detail, but I was wondering if anyone knows the dates when he was ordained as a priest?

I'm searching around and haven't had any luck so far.

Thanks,

No. 526: Luther Expresses His Thanks for Staupitz Spring, 1533​

“Our Lord God is our Lord. He calls us and therefore we must preach. Otherwise who would endure the hatred? For contempt and ingratitude have increased greatly. However, my good Staupitz said, ‘One must keep one’s eyes fixed on that man who is called Christ.’ Staupitz is the one who started the teaching [of the gospel in our time].”
