FRANZ BENDA (540 words)
Franz Benda war das älteste von den sechs überlebenden Kindern des Leinewebers Johann Georg Benda und dessen Frau Dorothea Benda, geborene Brixy, der Tochter eines Dorfkantors.
Dort lernte er den Komponisten Johann Joachim Quantz kennen, der ihn an den preußischen Kronprinzen Friedrich empfahl.
Da Benda nach seiner Konvertierung zum Protestantismus in Dresden zahlreiche Anfeindungen über sich ergehen lassen musste, nahm er 1733 Quantz' Angebot an, zu Friedrich zu gehen, der gerade dabei war sich in Ruppin eine eigene Kapelle aufzubauen.
