Live and act

The father Jakob Gürtler († 1517) was councilor and mayor in Goldberg in Silesia, the brother Hieronymus a humanistic scholar and doctor. Fabian Gürtler enrolled in winter semester 1507/08 at the University in Frankfurt (Oder) . Probably there he met Ulrich von Hutten . Since the summer semester of 1508 he studied in Wittenberg . Hutten dedicated a poem to him in his work Nemo in 1510 and that year sent him to Crotus Rubeanus in Fulda . In 1513 Hutten and Gürtler stayed in Italy . Fabian Gürtler probably studied medicine in the following years.

In 1518 he treated the sick Lorenz Beheim in Bamberg , who described him as a doctor medicinae in a letter to Willibald Pirckheimer , and praised him as a Reuchlinist , who wrote numerous verses in the style of the dark man's letters against Ortwin and Thungarus of Cologne and the inquisitor Jakob von Hochstraten, among others wrote.

In 1519 Gürtler was in Nuremberg, where he apparently played a decisive role in the satire Eccius dedolatus against Johann Eck, which arose in the Pirckheimer environment. In the late autumn of 1520 a young writer was expelled from the city of Basel because of his Eccius dedolatus and then went to Strasbourg . His name was not mentioned, it was probably Gürtler. No news has been received about his further life.

A letter to Joachim Vadian has been received from Fabian Gürtler.
