Notes - Maximilian’s second marriage was to Ann Rhau on 17 Jan 1581 in Coburg, Germany. Anna was born 1561, the daughter of George Rhau (an old printer in Wittenberg) and the widow of Magister (Masters Degree) Johann Weißgerber (rector of the Latin school). She was childess upon her death on 31 Mar 1584 in Coburg, Germany.
The following is from Rosl Reuter:
Anna was the daughter of the versatile Georg Rhau (Rhaw). This had first studied, then learned the book printer trade in Wittenberg. But he is also musically specialhe must have been gifted, he became the first known Thomaskantor in Leipzig. He had to resign from this office in 1520 because he was a follower of Luther. Now he became Schulmeister, but then returned again as a printer to Wittenberg. Here he belonged to the City Council.
His eldest daughter Anna first married the respected Rector M. Johannes Weißgerber in Coburg. He died in 1561, before he could take office as a pastor in Hildburghausen.
Financially, Anna obviously did not need to make a second marriage. That's how she is Widow able to buy the house at Kirchplatz 2 in 1572, which until her death remained in her own possession. (Where did I get this information from ??????????????????????? Somewhere from the files of the state library, I think. Max lived there later, Mörlin? See further up!) Only after 20 years widowed she married Maximilian Mörlin.
