Hans Weinreich

Hans Weinreich (1480/1490–1566) was a publisher and printer of German, Lithuanian and Polish language books in the first half of the sixteenth century.

[1] Weinreich's printshop in Königsberg was supposedly located by the castle steps in the city's Old Town.

In 1530 Weinreich published the first translation of Luther's Small Catechism made by an anonymous author.

However, the language of the translation was poor, and in 1533 Weinreich printed a second edition made by the Polish philologist Liboriusz Schadlika.

The published works were translations into Polish of the New Testament and the Catechism, as well as literature and song books.
