: ''This article refers to the poet. For other people of the same name, see Hans Sachs (disambiguation).'' Hans Sachs (5 November 1494 – 19 January 1576) was a German meistersinger ("mastersinger"), poet, playwright, and shoemaker. ==Biography== Hans Sachs was born in Nuremberg ((ドイツ語:Nürnberg)). As a child he attended a singing school that was held in the church of Nuremberg. This helped to awaken in him a taste for poetry and music.〔2009 Jean Henri Merle D'Aubign, History of the Great Reformation of the Sixteenth Century in Germany, Switzerland. General Books〕 His father was a tailor. He attended Latin school ((ドイツ語:Lateinschule)) in Nuremberg. When he was 14 he took up an apprenticeship as a shoemaker. After the apprenticeship, at age 17, he was a journeyman and set out on his ''Wanderjahre'' (or ''Walz''), that is, travelling about with companions and students.〔 Over several years he worked at his craft in many towns, including Regensburg, Passau, Salzburg, Munich, Osnabrück, Lübeck, and Leipzig.〔 〕 In 1513 he reached the small town of Wels in Austria, where he remained for a time, devoting himself to the cultivation of the fine arts.〔 The Emperor Maximilian I chanced to pass through this town with his dazzling retinue, and the young poet allowed himself to be carried away by the splendour of the court.〔 The prince placed him in the halls of the palace of Insbruck. Later Hans Sachs quit the court and went to Schatz and Munich. In the same year, he took up a kind of apprenticeship to become a mastersinger at Munich. Lienhard Nunnenbeck, a linen weaver, was his master. In 1516 he settled in Nuremberg and stayed there for the rest of his life. On 1 September 1519 he married Kunigunde Creutzer (1502-1560), who died in 1560. He married again on 2 September 1561, this time to the young widow Barbara Harscher. He had no known offspring. The great event of his intellectual life was the coming of the Reformation; he became an ardent adherent of Luther, and in 1523 wrote in Luther's honor the poem beginning “The nightingale of Wittenberg, which is heard everywhere” ((ドイツ語:Die wittenbergisch Nachtigall, Die man jetzt höret überall)), and four remarkable dialogues in prose, in which his warm sympathy with the reformer was tempered by counsels of moderation. In spite of this, his advocacy of the new faith earned him a reproof from the town council of Nuremberg, and he was forbidden to publish any more “pamphlets or rhymes” ((ドイツ語:Büchlein oder Reimen)). It was not long, however, before the council itself openly threw in its lot with the Reformation.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans Sachs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
