Praetorius was the name of a distinguished family, or possibly two families, of musicians in Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Michael Praetorius (c.1571–1621), composer, music theorist, and organist, was the most famous member of the family.
Hieronymus Praetorius (1560–1629), composer and organist. It is not known if he was related to Michael.
Jacob Praetorius (c.1530–1586), composer and organist, was the father of Hieronymus.
Jacob Praetorius (1586–1651), composer, organist and teacher, was the son of Hieronymus.
Christoph Praetorius (died 1609), composer, was the uncle of Michael.
Praetorius was so impressed by the Great Wine Barrel in the Heidelberg Castle that he published a poem with the title "Vas Heidelbergense" in October 1595, praising its size as an apparent proof of the superiority of the Calvinist faith.
Praetorius was one of the first to describe the terrible situation of the prisoners and to protest against torture.
