Life

Adrian Siemerding was the great-grandson of the sculptor Arndt Siemerding and belonged to a Hanoverian craftsman and artist family from the 16th to 18th centuries, which included goldsmiths, portrait painters, sculptors, bricklayers and carpenters. His date of birth is still unknown, the time is assumed to be between 1613 and 1623. As a citizen of the city of Hanover, he can only be proven after the Thirty Years' War , as he was baptized on January 17th, 1649. Nine months later, on September 20, 1649, he married Ursell Hoffmans in the Protestant market church .

He worked several times for Johann Duve , especially in the Calenberger Neustadt . Around 1669/70, Siemerding was appointed council builder .

Works

• 1653 involved with E. Holste and H. Alverß in the reconstruction of the tower of the Kreuzkirche in Hanover (under the direction of Johann Duve)
• 1655 Construction of the Duve Chapel at the Kreuzkirche
• 1658 House ("Plenterburg" / "To the Roman Emperor" / "Siemerings Schenke") for Johann Kleine on Osterstrasse
• 1662 House (Am Markte) for Franz Holste
• 1663 Facade of the house for Johann Overlach , also on the market square in the old town. The facade was moved to Lavesstrasse 82 when the square was expanded in 1884 for the banker August Basse . It's loud Helmut Knocke today the "only fully preserved in Hannover bourgeois Renaissance - facade " ( Overlach Moorish House ). Originally made of ashlar, it was placed in front of a four-story solid building; the strictly symmetrical facade structure is richly adorned with plastic sandstone decor. A Hanover city board was also attached to the house.
• 1666–1670 involved in the construction of the Neustädter Hof- und Stadtkirche St. Johannis (especially the south portal with the coat of arms)
• 1669 "instead of the St. Gallenkapelle which collapsed in 1630 " the (today's corner house) Burgstrasse 23 / 23a for Johann Duve. The protruding half-timbered upper storeys are based on the massive ground floor. The poet Philipp Spitta later lived in the house for a while . In the course of the renovation of the old town (1936–1939) and the opening of the Ballhof for a HJ / BDM complex, which included the “Spitta House”, it was renovated in 1938 and the ground floor was clad with smooth stone slabs.

The share of Siemer in the sculpting work is still unclear today.
