Andreas Bock (* October 1629 in Quedlinburg ; † March 1668 there ) was a German carpenter. He created several still preserved and the World Heritage Site belonging timbered houses in Quedlinburg.

Life

He was probably born in what is now the Westendorf district of Quedlinburg and baptized in the Sankt Wiperti Church . He was the son of Christoph Bock (1603–1639) and Anna Bock, née Stromann. It is possible that his father was already a carpenter. After his father's death in 1639, his mother married the farmhand Hans Unruhe in 1645, in whose house Andreas Bock then grew up.

Bock lived in Westendorf and married Justina Günther (1632–1657) on December 2, 1651, while still a journeyman carpenter. The children Joachim Bock (around 1652), Dorothea Marie (1655) and Anna (1657) resulted from the marriage. After the death of his first wife in 1657, Bock was already a master craftsman at that time, he married Catherina Queck (1632–1678), with whom he had the children Christoph Ernst (1663), Andreas (1665) and Daniel (1667) ) would have. The Quedlinburg master carpenter Andreas Schröder was the godfather of his son Andreas .

Six buildings in Quedlinburg are ascribed to him between 1660 and 1665. In his buildings he still used chamfered beam heads with notch cut rosettes and not the pyramid beam heads that had become modern at the time . It is assumed that he worked as a carpenter of the Quedlinburg monastery in Westendorf . Since no inscriptions naming the builders were customary in the area of ​​the monastery, no concrete structures could be assigned to it so far.

He died of consumption in Westendorf at the age of 38 years and 22 weeks in 1668 and was buried on March 27, 1668.
