The Trebinger family of wood carvers

A son of Christian who was born in 1634, Valerio, no longer carried on his father's profession.

Bartholomäus built the Junerei house in Ortisei for himself in 1662 . In 1668 Bartholomäus carved a crucifix for the Antonius Church in Ortisei. In 1679 Bartholomäus and his son Hans took part in the suit of the masters against the "botchers", which was heard in the Janes inn Janes in Ortisei by the Gufidauner court . Bartholomäus died in 1689, and his son Hans built the New Year's Eve altar in Canazei in the Fassa Valley as his successor . In 1652 Dominikus built the Ciancel house in Ortisei. Another student of a Trebinger, who was also one of the first sculptors in Val Gardena, was probably Jakob Runggaldier named in the national defense list of 1647. He also came from St. Jakob from the Runggaudie farm and settled in St. Ulrich at the Luca farm . A tabernacle made around 1648–50 in the St. Vigilius Church in Altenburg - Kaltern is documented by Jakob .
