Karl von Winterfeld (1784-1852), a jurist who dis­tinguished himself by several works on church music, including <em>Zur Geschichte heiligcr Tonkunst</em>, a series of articles published in two volumes (Leip­zig, 1850-1852).

Historically this work has been superseded by Rudolf Wolkan's <em>Lieder der Wiedertäufer</em> (Berlin, 1903).
