Johann Martin Schleyer (German pronunciation:[ˈjoːhanˈmaʁtiːnˈʃlaɪɐ]; 18 July 1831 – 16 August 1912) was a German Catholicpriest who invented the constructed languageVolapük. His official name was "Martin Schleyer"; he added the name "Johann" (in honor of his godfather) unofficially.
He was ordained in 1856. From 1867 to 1875, Schleyer served as pastor at Krumbach near Meßkirch. At the end of this time he was jailed for four months for preaching against socialism during the Kulturkampf.
From 1875 to 1885 he was pastor of Ss. Peter and Paul parish in Litzelstetten. He later wrote that the first seven years in Litzelstetten were among the happiest of his life.
At this time he was editor of the magazine Sionsharfe, devoted mainly to Catholic poetry. In May 1879 he published an article on Volapük in this magazine. This sketch was followed by a full-length book in 1880. The language spread widely and new clubs sprung all over Europe. After 1885 Schleyer had to retire from his pastoral duties due to ill health, though he was still involved in the Volapük movement until it fell apart a few years later.
