Life
In 1542, Schalling received a scholarship from Count Wilhelm von Fürstenberg in the amount of 6 guilders to attend school in Wolfach, moved to a grammar school in Strasbourg in 1546, studied in Wittenberg , received a master's degree in 1554 , came to Regensburg as a deacon , but came into conflict with Nicolaus Gallus and therefore moved to Amberg . As Elector Friedrich III. von der Pfalz tried to introduce the Reformed view through Caspar Olevian , Schalling resisted and sought advice in Wittenberg.
He had to leave Amberg and went to Vilseck . It was not until the government of Louis VI. he was able to return to Amberg as court preacher and superintendent . At first he worked with the concord efforts, also stood up for his teacher Philipp Melanchthon , but finally withdrew. In 1585 he became a pastor in Nuremberg and was able to work there for another 20 years.
As a song writer, he made a name for himself with his song Herzlich lieb I have you, o Herr ( EG 397), which was written by Heinrich Schütz (in the sacred choral music ), Dietrich Buxtehude (cantata, BuxWV 41) and Johann Sebastian Bach (am End of the St. John Passion ) was set to music. The text was written in Waldsassen on July 2, 1569 (“on the day of the Visitation of Mariae”) as the closing prayer of a sermon (a facsimile of the manuscript in Eckert 1969, Plates II – IV, after p. 216).
