He followed his father, Johann Balhorn the Elder in the printing trade, from whom he took over the printing house. Both used as a monogram the pictured printer’s mark and a seal with a horn and three balls. In a play on their name the German word verballhornen, which means “parody”, was coined.Johann Balhorn was the son of the printer Johann Balhorn the Elder and his second or third wife Elsabe (died after 18 October 1588). He had at least five siblings, two of whom died in childhood.[1] The printer Jochim Balhorn, who died in 1559, was either his grandfather or uncle.[2]The elder Balhorn died in 1573, and his son took over his father’s printing business in his own name in 1575, shortly after he attained legal age. In 1578 he married Ermgard Ehlers (born 1555 probably in L\u00fcbeck, died 1595 or later). The couple had no known children. In 1584 he and Asswerus Kr\u00f6ger were the only accredited book printers in L\u00fcbeck.He primarily printed religious works and textbooks, but above all he expanded the existing assortment of “anything from almanacs, occasional poetry and pamphlets to eiifying works, sermons, and statute books.”[3] In addition he printed practical works, for example, how to navigate with sextants, the determination of ebb and flow, or about mercantile accounting. “Both the range of his books and the craftsmanship with which he executed them were fairly average.”[3] He mainly printed works in Low German, but also produced publications in High German, Latin, Danish and Swedish. Among his 80 or so printed works a few stand out: Johannes Stricker’s spiritual play De D\u00fcdesche Schl\u00f6mer (1584) as well as a Low German translation of the popular book Historia of D. Johann Fausten (1588).His most famous, but also most disparaged, work was an insufficiently revised High German version of the L\u00fcbeck law, done on assignment from the L\u00fcbeck Council from Mayor Johann L\u00fcdinghusen, Syndikus Calixtus Schein, and Councilman Gottschalk von Stiten: Der Kayserlichen Freyen und des Heiligen Reichs-Stadt L\u00fcbeck Statuta und Stadt Recht.

Since the persons responsible did not name themselves on the title page, and there only the reference to the printer, the published edition was quoted accordingly. From this developed the phrase “Improved by Johann Balhorn” (Verbessert durch Johann Balhorn), which has been known since 1644, or, more simply, the term “verballhornen”, with the meaning of “mess something up with the intention of correcting it”,[4] to “disimprove.”[3]    Right: Ground floor of H\u00fcxstra\u00dfe 64The property of the Johann Balhorn family included the houses K\u00f6nigstra\u00dfe 61 (1534\u20131569), Breite Stra\u00dfe 60 (southern half, 1541\u20131588), Hundestrasse 19, 21, 23 (1554\u20131588) and H\u00fcxstra\u00dfe 64 (1587\u20131604). Between 1588 and early 1604 he sold the landed property of the family in L\u00fcbeck. This may have been because of long-standing economic difficulties due to increasing competition. After 1604, the year of his last known publication, all track of him is lost.Further reading[edit]Bruns, Friedrich (1905). “Lebensnachrichten \u00fcber die beiden L\u00fcbecker Buchdrucker Johann Balhorn” (PDF).
