Paul Stockmann

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul or Paulus Stockmann (3 January 1603, Lützen, district of Burgenlandkreis, Saxony-Anhalt - 6 September 1636, Mutschau, near Hohenmölsen, Saxony-Anhalt) was a German academic, preacher and hymn-writer. He fought at the Battle of Lützen in 1632 and later served as court preacher to Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, before dying of the plague in 1636.

Some of his hymns are included in the Danish hymnbook Psalmebog for Kirke og Hjem, whilst other texts by him were set by Johann Sebastian Bach as BWV 159 and BWV 182 and as part of the St John Passion.
