Teschenmacher, Laurenz (16th century)
Laurenz (Lorenz) Teschenmacher, a citizen of Aachen in Germany, was charged there in 1533 with Lutheranism. Though in a first trial Teschenmacher refused to give information about his heresy, it was soon proved that he was an Anabaptist and had taught the "new doctrines" in sermons which were attended by his followers. Further particulars are lacking.
