Andreas Hammerschmidt (1611 or 1612 – 1675) was a German composer and organist.  Born in Bohemia the family fled during the Thirty Years' War and settled in Freiburg where Hammerschmidt probably received his early musical education.  He left Freiburg in 1633 taking up posts as organist before settling in Zittau where he remained for the rest of his life.  He was one of the most popular composers of German sacred music in the mid-17th Century.
