Anton Leipold

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holy Spirit Church in Schweinfurt

Anton Leipold was a German architect who worked in Franconia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries . He is also referred to as a sculptor in one source and was apparently based in Würzburg .

1898–1902 the neo-Romanesque Holy Spirit Church in Schweinfurt was built according to a design by Anton Leipold. In 1902 he apparently worked in Nuremberg , but this may have been confused with a sculptor Albert Leipold , who was involved in the restoration or reconstruction of the beautiful fountain at the time . By 1906 at the latest, he was busy developing the former Gablerschen area between Siligmüllerstrasse and Seelbergstrasse in Würzburg.
