Andreas Metzl
Andreas Metzl was abbot of the Waldsassen monastery from 1512 to 1524.
Andreas was the 30th abbot of the Waldsassen monastery and came from Heidingsfeld . He built a library that can be considered a modest forerunner of today's Waldsassen Abbey Library . A liberal Latin verse by Prior Georg Fröhlich has come down to us about the library, which, translated according to Langhammer, reads: "Whether you are enthusiastic about the holy scriptures or you enjoy the works of the pagans, this library offers you all of this with benefit".
