Zimerawer, Hans (d. 1540)
Hans Zimerawer (Zimmerawer, Zimmerawuer, Simmerauer) was an Anabaptist martyr who was beheaded in 1540 at Schwatz in the Inn Valley in Tyrol. He was the author of several hymns (according to the Chronik); Wolkan identifies the hymn "In Gotten Namen hebn wir an" (Ausbund, No. 121) as one of his.
