(Nuremberg, Bavaria, April 18, 1812--October 15, 1867, Philadelphia). Baptist. Raised a Lutheran, became a Baptist in 1831 in Geneva and began theological studies at Berne. Began Christian work in 1834 and in 1839, came to the United States as a missionary to his fellow Germans. His work took him from New York to Newark, New Jersey, to Reading, Pennsylvania, and, in 1842, to Philadelphia where he established a German Baptist Church. In 1852, the first Conference of German Baptists was held and as a result, Fleischmann began publication of a monthly, and later weekly, paper, Der Sendbote. In 1865 he presided at the first meeting of the General Conference of German Baptists. A picture of Fleischmann is in Cathcart's Baptist Encyclopedia (v.1, p.399).
Included in Die Glaubensharfe (Cleveland, 1885), are two translations by Fleischmann. "Ich liebe, Herr, Dein Reich" is a translation of the well-known Dwight text, "I love thy kingdom, Lord," and the other is a German version of "Lord, I hear of showers of blessing," "Herr ich höre, Du willst geben Gnadengüsse gnädiglich."
