Daniel Anckermann (* approx. 1590; † approx. 1665) was a German sculptor and plasterer of the late Renaissance.
Life
Nothing is known about the exact dates of Anckermann's life. He first worked in Mecklenburg , where he made the stucco ceiling of the ballroom in Güstrow Castle for Duke Albrecht II before 1620 . The ornamental ceilings in Dargun Castle, which were destroyed in the castle fire in 1945 , were also made by him between 1617 and 1625. He then went to Sweden and from 1641 to 1644 designed the interior of the Makalös Palace in Stockholm . In 1645 he made the stucco reliefs along with the equestrian statue and the statue of the general on the tomb itself in the burial chapel of the Swedish general Hermann von Wrangel, who died in 1643, in the church of Skokloster . From 1646 to 1649 he worked for Jakob de la Gardie on Jakobsdal and in Uppsala . In 1656 he left Sweden via Riga , where he was entrusted with work on the Riga Castle , in the direction of Lübeck . So his track is lost.
