Life

Högl's great-grandfather, the master stonemason Johann Gallus Hügel , immigrated from Gemünden am Main in Franconia to the Eggenburg stonemason center in Lower Austria and became a master of the brotherhood there .

His grandfather Georg Andreas Högl , also a master stonemason, married in Vienna and became a master of the Vienna stonemasonry . In the last year of his life, on December 19, 1779, he handed over his stonemason hut in Roßau to his son Johann Philipp, who was 24 years old.

Johann Philipp married in Vienna Schottenkirche on 15 January 1781 innkeeper's daughter Barbara Eckmayerin. Her sons Philipp Joseph and Johann learned the stonemason trade from their father. Son Carl, born in 1790, remained in the guild of masons and stonemasons and learned the trade of mason . A major difference was the length of the apprenticeship , five years for stonemasons and three years for masons.
