Paul Gerhardt was a Protestant theologian and hymn writer and was probably not averse to a good drink.

Station 10 of the Biblical Wine Trail: Paul Gerhardt is the most famous Lutheran hymn writer, the beloved figure of the Protestant hymnal. He was born on March 12, 1607, in Gräfenhainichen, near Wittenberg, which was then part of Saxony. In his parents' inn, he learned a down-to-earth, clear language that still resonates with people 400 years later. Orphaned at the age of 15, he attended the princely school in Grimma. He completed his theological studies in Wittenberg.
