Simon Sulzer

Simon Sulzer (22 September 1508 – 22 June 1585) was a Reformed theologian, Reformer, and Antistes of the Basel church.

Life Sulzer was born in Schattenhalb, the child of a priest. He was educated in Bern and Lucerne. The sudden death of his father, the provost of Interlaken, forced him to turn to manual labor to support himself. He worked as a barber in Strasbourg and attended lectures by Martin Bucer and Wolfgang Capito. He moved to Basel in 1531, where he associated with Simon Grynaeus. Here he worked as a proofreader at the print shop of Johann Heerwagen and was also employed as a teacher. From 1533 he worked in Bern in education and proved his worth in the schools.

On the initiative of the Bern town council, he pursued additional studies in 1537 and took a master's degree.
