Martin Nürenbach or Nurembach (unknown – 1780) was a German acrobat, stage actor, dancer and equilibrist active in Sweden, Norway and Finland.
[1] If the identification of stepson is to be taken literarally, he could have been the son of Carl Seuerling's first wife Maria Heidensköld in her previous marriage, but this is unconfirmed.
As a member of the Stenborg and Seuerling theatre companies, he toured both Sweden and Finland, which was at that time a Swedish Province.
In July 1770, Martin Nürenbach made his debut as a dance teacher and performer in Oslo in Norway.
Between December 1771 and February 1772, the theatre staged a number of theatrical pieces, pantomimes, dancing, and acrobatics by Norwegian artists, performing in Danish.
[5] Nürenbach's wife Anna Katarina Rancke is not mentioned at all during their stay in Norway (though it is known that she was present) and it is unknown if she performed.
In September 1773, Martin Nürenbach, again a member of the Stenborg Company, is known to have performed as an acrobat in the Humlegårdsteatern in Stockholm, where he made such a success that the theater company had to expand the seats of their stage building in order to give room for the large number of spectators.
