---
German composer, organist and bassoonist. He was born in a large family
of musicians and received early musical education from his father,
Joachim Böddecker, and then from Johann Ulrich Steigleder in Stuttgart.
In 1626 he became organist and singing teacher in Buchsweiler and in
1629 he was bassoonist and organist at the Landgrave's court in
Darmstadt. In 1638 he became organist of the Barfüsserkirche at
Frankfurt and in 1642 he assumed the same post at the Strasbourg
cathedral. Also there, he held a post of director of music and organist
of the university. From 1652 he was organist of the collegiate church at
Stuttgart in a position he held the rest of his life. As a composer, he
was mainly known by his collection Sacra partitura (Strasbourg, 1651)
where he included eight sacred songs and two violin sonatas (probably
the earliest German examples of the genre). His son, the organist and
composer Philipp Jakob Böddecker (1642-1707), succeeded him as organist
in Stuttgart on April 25, 1686.
