Franciscus Gundling

Franciscus Gundling (also Franz or Franziskus ; * around 1530; † February 22, 1567 in Nuremberg ) was a German Protestant clergyman and a temporary companion of the reformer Andreas Osiander .

Gundling came from the Franconian Gundling family , which had its roots in the Duchy of Brabant . His grandfather Balthasar Gundling is said to have participated in the Reformation himself. Franciscus' father, Georg Gundling, received citizenship in Nuremberg in 1531. Where Franciscus received his schooling is unknown.

Gundling was initially one of Andreas Osiander's followers and traveled with him to Königsberg . In the context of the Osiander dispute , however, he turned away from Osiander and his teachings early on. He returned to Nuremberg in 1551 and became a deacon at the Church of St. Lorenz . In 1555 he was one of the signatories of the Confessio anti-Osiandrina . The teacher Franciscus Gundling is said to have portrayed an eloquent preacher and learned man as an exemplary man .

The theologian and writer Wolfgang Gundling was his grandson.
