Andreas Henkel

Andreas Henkel ; also Andreas Heckel , Andreas Henkl or Andreas Henkle ; (* August 2, 1731 in Gottenau (Markt Rettenbach) ; † after 1790 ) was a German plasterer and building craftsman .

Life

Henkel married Maria Benedikta Leimlin on February 19, 1756 in Mindelheim . According to the Mindelheimer marriage book, he came from "places", which is not correct regarding the place of birth. His wife gave him four children until 1760 (Franz Xaver * December 3, 1756, Maria Viktoria Katharina * April 5, 1758, Maria Thekla Katharina * April 21, 1759 and Joseph Anton Ignaz * July 27, 1760). She died on November 2, 1790. He must have died outside of Mindelheim after that.

plant

In Mindelheim itself, where no major church buildings were being built at that time, there is no evidence of work by Henkel, but there is evidence of work in the closer and wider area:

• 1769 Stuccoing of the parish church of St. Magnus in Unterrammingen
• 1770 Stucco work in the table room and staircase of the rectory in Zaisertshofen near Tussenhausen
• 1770 Stuccoing of the parish church St. Ulrich in Seeg , appointed there by the pastor Ignaz Lorenz Sautermeister, who comes from Mindelheim
• 1776/77 in the former Augustinian Church in Oberndorf am Neckar , where he shaped a new appearance with his stucco work

• 

  Stucco frame around the fresco by Enderle in Zaisertshofen

• 

  St. Magnus in Unterrammingen

• 

  Ortisei in Seeg

• 

  Monastery church in Oberndorf am Neckar

He worked with the painter Johann Baptist Enderle on all of the listed commissions . He must also have worked for the Prince Archbishop of Mainz, because he appointed him "in view of his art as a court stuckador worker". It must have been Enderle who introduced Henkel to the Prince-Bishop of Mainz, since Enderle had frescoed the Augustinian Church (1772) and the Ignatius Church (1774) in Mainz .
