German composer and Kreuzkantor. From 1661 to 1671 he studied music at
the Thomas School in Leipzig and later at the University of Leipzig. In
1677 he succeeded Johann Schelle, cantor at the Nikolaikirche in
Eilenburg. There he received the influence of Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow
and he held this post until he was promoted to Dresden Kreuzkantor in
1694. Since then, no further news were reported of Petritz's tenure.
Apparently he was ailing in the last years of his life since his future
successor, Johann Zacharias Grundig, was increasingly tooking over his
duties. As a composer, he probably wrote several works but only one is
currently extant; the christmas cantata 'Die Herrlichkeit des Herrn'
(1695). One of Petritz sons was Kantor in St.-Annen-Kirche of Dresden.
