Storchenau was born at Köttmannsdorf in
Carinthia. He entered the
Society of Jesus in 1747, and became professor of philosophy in
Vienna in 1762. In the years 1781–90, he was court preacher to
Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria at Klagenfurt. Storchenau wished to promote the works of the philosopher
Christian Wolff in Catholic nations, in a similar way as many German Jesuits of that time (e.g.
Leopold Biwald and
Roger Joseph Boscovich). ==Works==
