Life

Kaiserebersdorf Palace by Salomon Kleiner

Master stonemason Bernhard Tencalla hired Antonius Bregno from Osteno to be an apprentice in the imperial quarry on Leithaberg in 1605, and he was acquitted in 1610.

Emperor Matthias confirmed a quarter drawer on March 16, 1617

Wiener Neustadt Cathedral

The true importance of the master stonemasons and masons in the imperial quarry on Leithaberg , the quality of the stone and their work, became apparent through this privilege . The brotherhood of the Kaisersteinbrucher Masters was founded. The main draw was the craft of Wiener Neustadt .

Some articles of the Kaisersteinbrucher order (small excerpt)

  • Anyone who has managed a building has to be liable for the same for a year.
  • A master should only have one apprentice, the mason 3, the stonemason 5 years apprenticeship ...

The Steinbruch masters immediately demand the right to be allowed to take on two apprentices - because bemelter Bruch is far from a town or town, and an apprentice with such a constitution, because he has to be used every day to collect all kinds of victims and other things, doesn't know anything or could learn . They received this special permit, which is later also required by others.

The Lower Austrian government is demanding the wine tax

On February 20, 1618, the rent master Johann Miller reported to the Lower Austrian provincial government, which energetically demanded the collection of the Täz, the wine tax, from the quarry by five stonemasons and a sculptor , so all Welsche , including four masters from Your Imperial Majesty , .. one of which Antonius Bregno. But the quarry is entirely on Hungarian soil.

Crafts Code 1625

Hofsteinmetzmeister Antonius Bregno, widower, lives in Kaisersteinbruch , married Juliana Magistrin in 1628, widow of master Pietro de Magistris . † July 1631 Juliana Bregnin, donated a 7-pound vineyard for the new church in the Breitenbrunn area. (1 pound of vineyard = counting measure for 240 vines)

Murder in the quarry

On October 20, 1629 a tragic incident occurred in the quarry, the boy Carlo Bussi was killed by a pistol shot. The brothers Antonius and Hieronymus Bregno , his biological cousins , took care of him and accused Mathias Lorentisch of the act. Lorentisch confirmed that he had fired a shot that day, but the apprentice stonemason Christoff Khinners as an ear witness had heard two different types of shots. Pastor Gregor Paternitz was able to speak to the boy outside of confession , saying that he had forgiven and forgiven the unknown perpetrator . Because there were only assumptions, Abbot Christoph Schäffer closed the court proceedings, Mathias Lorentisch must never find out about the accusation.

To Bruck an der Leitha

Around 1633 he finally left Kaisersteinbruch and moved to Bruck an der Leitha. Count Harrach commissioned the court stone mason in 1640 with two fountains in Prugg Castle .
