Hartmann, Heinrich 1582 - 10/03/1616

* c. 1582 in Rehestadt near Arnstadt, † 1616 († buried Oct. 3) in Coburg, composer. Heinrich Hartmann was probably a pupil at the grammar school in Arnstadt and enrolled at the University of Jena in 1600. In August 1606, he composed a ceremonial composition for the graduation of two fellow students from Jena. The preface to the ''Confortativae sacrae symphoniacae'' (1st part), dated November 1613, states that Hartmann took up the post of cantor at "the churches and schools in Coburgk" as successor to Justus Otto "six years ago", i.e. in 1607 or early 1608. He married Anna Kempf there in 1608. The marriage produced four children.
