Biography

Martin Winkler of Seehausen is mentioned in Hoffman as the father of Catharine who married Michael I Heil at Seehausen near Leipzig in Saxony on June 25, 1623. Michael was born in Spandau which he escaped due to the plague of 1611-1613. His wanderings led him to Seehausen where he, most likely, met Catharine as Hoffman mentioned Catharine's father as "Martin".^[1]
