 Neander in Stralsund 1679? 

I have read that Neander was in Stralsund (present day) Germany 1679http://www.lutheran-hymnal.com/lyrics/tlh039.htm at the time of publishing the hymn: ""Praise to the Lord, the Almighty"". Reading the page on Stralsund Germany puts his publishing the hymn at the end of a very unstable time following the Thirty Years War, any point in referencing that? Being in Heidelberg seems quite a distance to travel to get to Stralsund in that time. Would he a) not benefit from mention of living during this time and b) not be eligible for being noted on Stralsunds page if proof of his residency were obtained?
