Heinrich Wirri
Heinrich Wirri (also Wire, Wirre, Wirrich, Wirry, Werry ; * in the first quarter of the 16th century in Aarau ; † probably around 1572 in Austria) was a Swiss poet and flatbed master .
He learned the weaving trade in Aarau. In 1552 he called himself a tailor. He lived in Solothurn from 1544 to the mid-1550s , then in Zurich . A wandering life as a flatbed master, actor and singer at weddings, rifle parties and court festivals took him to courts and cities in southwest Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Wirri wrote flyers, especially about sensational stories and, as a bed master, festival descriptions.
The Heinerich-Wirri-Zunft in Aarau is named after Wirri.
