Adam Reusner, also Reissner[1] or Reißner (c. 1496-1575 (some claim 1572 or 1582)) in Mindelheim) was a German mystic, hymn-writer and poet.
[2] In 1523 he enrolled at the University of Wittenberg, where he was studied alongside the likes of Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon, Justus Jonas, and pursued a degree in theology.
[2] He then became an independent scholar teaching theology in Strasbourg, where he was a friend and spiritualistic supporter of Kaspar Schwenckfeld.
His hymn "In dich hab ich gehoffet, Herr" (In you, Lord, have I put my trust) is still included in the German hymnal.
Its fifth stanza, "Mir hat die Welt trüglich gericht't" (The world has judged me deceitfully), appears in Bach's St Matthew Passion.
