Talk:Joachim Neander

Death
Who says or where is a proof that he died of tuberculosis?--87.178.84.85 (talk) 23:29, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Neander in Stralsund 1679?
I have read that Neander was in Stralsund (present day) Germany 1679 at the time of publishing the hymn: "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty". Reading the page on Stralsund Germany puts his publishing the hymn at the end of a very unstable time following the Thirty Years War, any point in referencing that? Being in Heidelberg seems quite a distance to travel to get to Stralsund in that time. Would he a) not benefit from mention of living during this time and b) not be eligible for being noted on Stralsunds page if proof of his residency were obtained? ≤ Kargin (talk) 08:28, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Grandfather?
Michael Neander, who changed his name from Neumann, is not described as a musician. And he is very unlikely a grandfather, as he died 69 years before Joachim's birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SnowyOwl Curiosity (talk • contribs) 07:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

what's left of him?
my girlfriend's family by Joachim Neander and told their family every first boy in a family Neander call her father and her brother are therefore called Neander. (86.85.68.13 (talk) 17:08, 25 September 2014 (UTC))

Please help improve this page
I've done some editing, but some work needs to be done.
 * The specific cites that support the text should be found and inserted at the right points. There's also a lot of peacock language and unsupported claims.
 * Normally a section called "Notable works" should list some of his actual hymns.

Anyway, I find it interesting and ironic that he briefly lived in a cave in the Neander valley. Kortoso (talk) 20:16, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Nothing clearly referencing the fact Neanderthals derive their name from him
The article briefly mentions that a valley was named after him, but, no reference for readers is made to the fact that neanderthals were therefore derived from his name. Which seems a shame and missed opportunity to inform.
