1496, Mün­dels­heim (now Min­del­heim), Swa­bi­an Ba­va­ria.

Cir­ca 1575, probably in Mün­dels­heim.

Reissner first stu­died at Wit­ten­berg, and around 1521 learned He­brew and Greek un­der Jo­hann Reuch­lin. He then be­came pri­vate se­cre­ta­ry to Georg von Freunds­berg, and ac­com­pa­nied him dur­ing the Ital­ian cam­paign (1526-7). Af­ter the cap­ture of Rome in 1527, he re­turned to Ger­ma­ny, and spent some time in Strass­burg, where he be­came a friend and ad­her­ent of Cas­par Schwenk­feldt. He seems to have been liv­ing in Frank­furt-am-Main in 1563, but there­af­ter re­turned to Mün­dels­heim, where he was still liv­ing in 1572. He wrote over 40 hymns in his life­time.
