Text in German
==========================
Martin Eisengrein (1535–1578), born in Stuttgart, came to Vienna around the middle of the 16th century, where he is documented as a canon at St. Stephen's Cathedral around 1560. Maximilian II appointed him court preacher.
From Vienna he went to Ingolstadt as a professor of theology and finally to Passau.
