Ludwig Zöschinger
(Born on March 29, 1731 in Burtenbach (now Bavaria, Germany), Died on November 1, 1806 in Augsburg (Kingdom of Bavaria, now Germany)

Zöschinger (Given name: Johann Georg) made solemn profession in 1751 at the ''Augustinerchorherrenstift Heiliger Kreuz'' (Augustinian monastery-Holy Cross; with monastic name ''Ludwig'') in Augsburg, Kingdom of Bavaria (now Germany). In 1754 he was ordained as a priest. Initially he was a monastery organist and soon afterwards dean. As of 1778 he was the last Provost of the monastery before the repeal during secularization.
Zöschinger was well-acquainted with Leopold Mozart as result of being related to the Salzburg court conducter Johan Ernst Eberlin. He was described by Wolfgang Amadeus (Mozart) as a ''good and jolly man''. Mozart knew him under the spelling of his name as ''Zeschinger'' in which ''Zöschinger'' possibly referred to himself as well. At any rate, he published at the ''Augsburger Musikverlag Lotter'' (Lotter Music Publishing Company in Augsburg) several small compositions. Among them was the nearly imitated anagram ''Reschnezgi''. Principally, he wrote numerous church music compositions; among them 3 masses which for the most part have been lost.
