Sebastian Hornmold the Younger , also Sebastian Hornmolt (born February 21, 1562 in Tübingen ; † December 20, 1634 in Heilbronn ), was a lawyer, poeta laureatus and councilor of Württemberg in Heilbronn.

Hornmold had a doctorate in law. His grandfather was the Bietigheimer Vogt and first church council director in Württemberg, Sebastian Hornmold the Elder (1500–1581), his father was the Tübingen professor and Baden-Baden chancellor Samuel Hornmold (1537-1601). Hornmold was crowned poeta laureatus ("crowned poet") by Paul Melissus in Heilbronn in 1593 . Among his friends was the Greek and Latin professor Martin Crusius . In 1605 he became councilor of Württemberg. On January 17, 1617, he was granted the privilege of the Count Palatine by Emperor Matthias , which allowed him to raise the bourgeoisie to the nobility. In 1634, according to an oral communication from the Rottweiler Archives noted by Bentele (1995), he fled from the plague to Strasbourg, where there were family ties, but sources in the Heilbronn City Archives and the Protestant Church Office St. Kilian in Heilbronn prove his death on December 20, 1634 in Heilbronn.

In 1632 he wrote two chronicles or descriptions of the city of Heilbronn, one in Latin ( Heilbronna or Panegyricus inclytae urbi imperiali Heilbronnae dictus , in prose and verse) and one in German ( neat and devastating description of the city of Hailbronn in German Raimen ). The two handwritten volumes were part of the library of the Heilbronn grammar school . They were important sources for the history of the city of Heilbronn , but were lost during the air raid on Heilbronn in 1944.
