Burkhard Wiesenmeyer

Short Name: Burkhard Wiesenmeyer
Full Name: Wiesenmeyer, Burkhard

Wiesenmeyer, Burchard, was a native of Helmstadt, and died at Petershagen (probably Petershagen near Alt-Landsberg), apparently before 1691. He was from 1637 to 1644, and probably somewhat longer, one of the masters in the Greyfriars Gymnasium at Berlin. (Koch, iii. 341; M. Michael Schirmer. By Dr. J. F. Bachmann, Berlin, 1859, p. 220, &c.) He assisted in preparing the two hymn-books which his colleague at Berlin, Johann Crüger (p. 271, Nos. 1, 4), issued in 1640 and 1653. To these he contributed a few recasts of earlier hymns. The only one translation into English is noted at p. 1091, i. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
