Georg Riedel (6 June 1676 – 5 February 1738, in Königsberg) was a German composer and cantor.
He wrote a serenade, since lost, for the celebrations of the coronation of Frederick I of Prussia in 1701 as well as other occasional works for inaugurations, weddings, birthdays and funerals.
In 1709 he was appointed cantor at Altstadt Church, one of Königsberg’s three key musical positions, which he occupied until his death.
[2] His compositions are probably lost due to the destruction of Königsberg in 1944 and 1945 during World War II.
There is, however, still hope that Riedel's works may be recovered in the future, as parts of the various archives of Kaliningrad, post-war Königsberg, were distributed among Polish and Soviet institutions.
