The University Library Lund in Sweden keeps the most extensive source for horn music from the first half of the 18th century. The music is a handwritten collection of the Academic chapel. Many of the composers therein had somehow connections to the court in Dresden. It is possible that the copier was a hornist who visited Dresden.
This collection Wenster contains 18 concertos for horn - and not 17 how it is always said.

No. 14 Johann George Roellig (1710 - 1790)
Concerto ex D sharp major for corno concertato, 2 violins, viola and basso
In the manuscript only "Roellig" is written. RISM lists Johann Georg Roellig as the composer. Since the composer can be found in the Dresden area or in connection with the Dresden court, Johann Georg Roellig is the likely author of the following concert. He was born in Berggiesshübel in 1710, attended the Kreuzschule in Dresden and received lessons from Zelenka and Reinhold, financed and supported by Count Brühl. After studying theology in Leipzig, he was heard there by Prince Johann August von Anhalt-Zerbst on the organ and cello. The prince took Roellig with him to Zerbst, where he became a court organist and chamber musician. He later rose to the position of deputy bandmaster and, after Fasch's death in 1758, was appointed actual bandmaster in Zerbst.
However, there is also another composer who could be considered:
Christian August Roellig was born in Königsbrück near Dresden and was court cantor at the court orchestra in Dresden from 1730. He is still mentioned in this position in 1741.
