Schröder, Johann Heinrich—native of Calenberg; in 1696 he was minister at Magdeburg.
Stark, Johann Friedrich—1680-1756—born at Hildesheim, a member of the Consistory at Frankfort. His hymns are very numerous; he was likewise a very popular writer of religious tracts.
Tersteegen, Gerhard—1697-1769—born at Mörs; he resided at Mülheim an der Ruhr, as a ribbon-maker; a gentle heaven-inspired soul, whose hymns are the reflection of a heavenly, happy life, his mind being full of a childlike simplicity.
Wegleiter, Christoph—1659-1709—born at Nuremburg, professor of Theology at Altorf.
Wülffer, Daniel—1617-1685—born at Nuremburg, a professor and minister in that city. The hymn “O Ewigkeit, O Ewigkeit,” is a serious and pious consideration of, and apostrophe to, Eternity, which in the last verse replies to man. The first seven verses, as far as the words “O lange Freud, O langes Leid,” Wülffer found in an old hymn-book, perhaps the Catholic hymn-book of Cologne; he improved them, and added the spirited conclusion.
Zinzendorf und Pottendorf, Nicolaus Ludwig, Count of—1708-1760—the great founder of “the Community of Brethren,” who was born a sacred poet.
Zwick, Johann—of Kostnitz, who died about 1542; he was first a jurist, and afterwards a theologian and minister in his native city; a pious and learned man.
