Bendicht Ulmann

Bendicht (Benedikt) Ulmann (* around 1530; † 1595 in Bern ) was a Swiss printer .

Life

Ulmann had initially been a bookbinder and printer's journeyman with Samuel Apiarius at Brunngasse 70 . On February 15, 1558, he appeared as a witness in the trial against his employer. When Samuel Apiarius was banished from Bern, Ulmann opened his own printing and bookbinding shop in Bern in 1559 (or 1560), while Samuel's brother Siegfried Apiarius ran Samuel's workshop alone until his death (1565).

On February 3, 1564, Ulmann was forbidden from entering the inns and on February 25, his own printing plant was shut down ( "Master Bendicht den buchtrucker, the truckerj shut down" ). But soon he must have received approval again, because as early as the next year (1565), after Siegfried Apiarius' death, he took over the Apiarius workshop in Brunngasse. In the year 1566 his name appears on “ official ” files as an officially “appointed printer” .

In 1550 Ulmann married Elsbeth Straßer for the first time . In 1559 he married Eva Rohrer in his second marriage . His stepson was the printer Vinzenz Im Hof , with whom he also worked from 1574 to 1593.
