About Werner Herman Franzmann

Werner Herman Franzmann was a twentieth-century Lutheran hymn writer and translator, teacher, and author whose works are marked by their scriptural heft. The second of nine children by William and Elsie Franzmann, Werner was raised in Lake City, Minnesota and attended the Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary along with brothers Gerhard and Martin.

Werner served as a pastor and professor in Michigan for over 25 years before becoming the first full-time editor of Northwestern Publishing House. His greatest work as editor was the quarterly devotional Meditations, which remains in circulation today. He returned to the ministry for four more years before retiring to focus on writing—the result being his popular Old and New Testament commentaries. W. H. Franzmann played a significant role in the break between the Wisconsin and Missouri Lutheran Synods and his influence in the church endures to this day.
