Biography
Innsbruck, Imperial chapel, 1519-1520. Listed as one of the six Tenoristen of the Imperial chapel in the household inventory made in January 1519, soon after the death of Maximilian I (19 January 1519), and in the list made in January 1520, soon before the dissolution of the chapel. As a consequence of the dissolution of the chapel he received a sum of 10 Gulden on 20 June 1520 to cover his expenses for moving back to Vienna. He is most likely a relative, perhaps the father, of Georgius Teschinger*, one of the choirboys.
