Ruhe

Author: Gottfried August Bürger

Gottfried August Bürger, born in Molmerswende, was appointed Professor of Philosophy at Göttingen in 1780. He died in that city 8 June, 1794. His hymn "Wer nie in schnöder Wollust Schooss" is found, with many alterations, in the Glauchau, Oldenburg, and Niemeyer hymnals. --Gottfried Lebrecht Richter, Allgemeines biographisches Lexikon alter und neuer geistlicher Liederdichter (Leipzig: Martini, 1804), p. 31. https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_ZvM6AAAAcAAJ Go to person page >
