Life

After a humanistic and philological education Aberlin was employed by 1525-1536 as a schoolmaster in Lauingen. He turned to the Upper German Reformation, was in the years 1530/1531 Zwingli and Karlstadt in Zurich and was in touch with Theobald Billicanus, Boniface Wolfhart, Gerhard Eobanus money Hauer ( called Noviomagus ) and Wolfgang Musculus as well as to Sigmund Salminger (c. 1500, † 1554 ) and Jakob Dachser.

The end of 1534 he traveled - probably due to difficulties in Lauingen - to talk with Ambrose Blarer to Tübingen and was soon appointed as a schoolmaster to Göppingen. In 1542, he went to the rectory in Heiningen, where he continued the Reformation radically. During the Smalcald War and the Imperial Interim he got into Heiningen in trouble. In 1549 he returned to his schoolmaster position in Göppingen. In 1551 he then moved into the rectory in Fortschwihr in the county Horburg ( Upper Alsace ), where he found a reformed environment by zürcherischer order. He is mentioned for the last time in June, 1552.

Old Testament, Psalms and New Testament were presented in three songs, a remarkable work with 227 verses to verses 9, certainly his most successful work, which has been reprinted several times.
