Johann Stobäus

Johann Stobäus (6 July 1580 – 11 September 1646) was a composer and lutenist.

From 1599 to 1608 he was a pupil of Johannes Eccard, the Kapellmeister of Königsberg (in the Duchy of Prussia).

In 1601 he joined the princely Kapelle as a bass singer, and in 1602 he became Kantor at Königsberg Cathedral.

Stobäus, known as Stobaeus Grudentinus Borussus for his birthplace, wrote music for liturgical use, as well as songs and compositions for lute.

Much of his manuscript music was lost in World War II; what remains is largely held at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin.
