Christoph Kaldenbach

Kaldenbach, Christoph (Schwiebus, Silesia, 1613-98, Tübingen), a schoolmaster at Königsberg (1646), then a professor at Tübingen (1656), was one of the group of poets around H. Albert, S. Dach, and R. Roberthin (see also Königsberger Dichterschule). He wrote lyric, religious, and occasional poetry in both German and Latin, and also two plays (Herkules am Wege der Tugend und Wollust, 1635, and Der Babylonische Ofen oder Tragödie von den drei jüdischen Fürsten in dem glühenden Ofen zu Babel, 1646).
