Live and act
Humbach came to Bamberg with his wife in 1715 and had five children baptized there. He was mentioned in 1719 as a “stone carver”, where he received a reward for his sculpting work on the 7 lowest and 7 uppermost windows for the new building of the former Cistercian Abbey in Ebrach , he had continued the work of the sculptor Balthasar Esterbauer . When his wife died in 1738, he moved to Erlangen , where he was offered a position as a court sculptor.
In 1728 he made the Hermen in the Kaisersaal in Fulda and, based on a design by Friedrich Joachim Stengel, the richly decorated flower vase in front of the orangery building in the same residence. In 1738 he figured out the facade of the old Ebracher Hof in Bamberg. In 1741 he made large stucco groups in the Ebrach abbey church.
