Daniel Eger
Daniel Eger († 1474 ) was a bell founder from Heilbronn .
Life
Little is known about his life. The Heilbronn prayer books mention a master Daniel Glockengießer in the years 1450 to 1473, the Heilbronn document book also mentions him in connection with a payment obligation for wine in 1469, and the dated bells that can be verified are from the years 1451 to 1474. He is the oldest known bell founder from Heilbronn. His pupil was probably Bernhart Lachaman the Elder , to whose aunt Eger was married. After Eger's death, the widow Eger continued the bell foundry with Lachaman. From 1474 to 1477 the widow Eger and Lachaman were taxed together. From 1479/80 at the latest, Lachaman ran the bell foundry alone.
