Life
There is no information about Blinzig's parental home or education. Blinzig was already in the service of Margrave Friedrich VII Magnus von Baden in Durlach as Kapellmeister before 1708 . In 1708 he applied for a job in Berlin after he had left Durlach while fleeing the consequences of the War of the Spanish Succession. Therefore, in July 1708, he asked Duke Moritz Wilhelm of Saxony-Zeitz for a recommendation to the Prussian king.
Before 1715 Blinzig was again in Durlach under Margrave Karl III. Wilhelm ordered. On September 1, 1715, the choirboy Johann Philipp Trost was examined by Blinzig in Blinzig's house. Although he is officially listed as Vice Kapellmeister in a salary list for 1715, he himself signed the title Kapellmeister. Blinzig was presumably released in 1717. In 1721 it is proven in Hanau .
