Andreas Besen (* around 1650; † February 28, 1715 in Quedlinburger Neustadt ) was a German carpenter and architect. Several half-timbered houses he created are now listed and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

Life

Besen married the daughter Salome of the famous carpenter Peter Dünnehaupt on October 22nd, 1678 . The marriage had two children. Anna Regina was born on September 5, 1679 . Joh. Jacobus , born in the middle of 1699, died in infancy and was buried on December 22nd, 1699.

The stock exchange , which was built in 1683 in the Quedlinburger Neustadt, is known as the first building in Quedlinburg . An earlier building in Wegeleben from 1680 could also go back to him. As a builder he used the abbreviation AZM . Buildings with the abbreviation AB are also attributed to him, as no other master carpenter with these initials is known in Quedlinburg at the time in question . However, a simpler design is sometimes noticeable here.

A special feature of his often richly decorated work was the use of decorative nails . From 1700 he used a doubling of the stick sleepers , which became very high. However , he retained the design in the form of a row of stands . In the parapet area of ​​the stands, he used recessed rectangular areas.

He died in Quedlinburg Neustadt in 1715.
