Was a German Lutheran pastor, historian and cartographer.
Hennenberger was born in a Franconian place given as Erlich (Erlichhausen?) and started to study Lutheran divinity at the University of Königsberg in 1550. In 1554 he began to work at the congregation of Georgenau and in Domnau. Probably in 1561 he moved to Mühlhausen, where he worked as a Lutheran Pastor for the next 29 years.
With the patronage of Duke Albert of Prussia Hennenberger published the first detailed map of Prussia in 1576, the book 'Kurze und wahrhaftige Beschreibung des Landes zu Preussen' (short and truthful description of the land Prussia) in 1584 and 'Erklärung der preußischen größeren Landtafeln oder Mappen' (explanation of the larger Prussian maps) in 1594.
In 1590 Hennenberger became the Pastor of the Large Hospital at Königsberg-Löbenicht, where he died in 1600. He was buried in the Hospital's Church.

Biografiska uppgifter:1527-98. Född och död i Antwerpen.
Belgisk kartograf. Efter studier i grekiska, latin och matematik började han i 20-årsåldern som karthandlare. Först 1564 offentliggjorde han sitt första självständiga arbete, en världskarta på 8 blad (idag endast känt i ett exemplar). Ett antal mindre specialkartor utkom senare och 1570 lade han fram sitt främsta verk, 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' som betecknar en epok i kartografins historia. Det var den första systematiskt utarbetade kartsamlingen baserad på samtida forskningsresultat. Flera av den tidens främsta geografer var hans medarbetare. Första utgåvan av 'Theatrum' innehöll 70 kartor på 53 blad. Härtill kom under åren 1573-95, 5 supplement med totalt 108 kartor. Ortelius atlas trycktes redan första året i 4 utgåvor. Till 1612 utkom inte mindre än 43 folioutgåvor med text på 7 olika språk. Dessutom trycktes 31 utgåvor i förminskat format under åren 1576-1697. De historiska kartorna samlades i en egen atlas, 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Paregon; sive veteris Geographiae Tabulae' som även den kom i flera upplagor. - För kartografins historia har Ortelius bidragit med stora förtjänster genom 'Catalogus auctorum' som medföljde hans atlas. Här nämner han alla tidigare och samtida kartografer som har varit hans källor och redogör utförligt för deras arbeten. Detta register, som är en ovärderlig källa till kunskap om de gamla kartograferna, har bearbetats och utgetts av Leo Bagrow.
