Talk:Gregor Brück

Date of birth
According to the best and most recent historical research, the date of birth of Gregor Brück is likely to be 1485 (to be more precise, end of 1485-first months of 1486). That we know because of a letter by Bruck of 12/10/1539 in which he describes himself as “almost 53 years old”. Here below a few sources. One can check the memorial plaque for Gregor Brück in Collegienstraße 6, Lutherstadt Wittenberg - a picture is on wikicommons or here on it.wiki.
