about
Samuel Voelckel , also Samuel Völckel (* 1564 (determined) in Königsberg (Prussia) ; buried on April 18, 1621 in Bayreuth) was a German singer, instrumentalist (violin), composer and for many years Kapellmeister in the Principality of Bayreuth under Margrave Christian. There are hardly any sources about Voelckel's date of birth, origin and education. Whether his place of birth is Königsberg (Prussia) or Königsberg in Franconia is discussed in the literature, but the addition Regiom. Bor. behind his name - one follows Robert Eitner - in the dedication of his Newe teutsche secular little songs from 1613 to the Bayreuth Margrave Christian point to the Prussian Königsberg ( Borussia ). From 1583 to 1586 he was first recorded as a musician (instrumentalist) in the margravial court orchestra in Ansbach. Since the Ansbach court chapel from 1578 to 1586 under theAnsbacher Margrave Georg Friedrich I , the administrator of Prussia, was stationed in Königsberg, which speaks for Prussia as his native country, because according to Günther Schmidt he had joined the chapel there in 1583. Due to the determined year of his birth, 1664, he was at an age when his training as a musician can be regarded as completed. In 1587, after moving to Ansbach with the chapel, he married. In 1593 his son Christoph Theodorus was baptized, godfather being Teodoro Riccio , the Ansbach conductor. In 1601 Voelckel was named "Vicekapellmeister" at the baptism of a daughter and appeared in the Ansbach church book
