Dilman Schmid
Dilman Schmid ( own spelling of the first name Tilman , on a bell for Melbach also Johann Dilman Schmid ) was a German bell founder from Asslar in the transition from the 17th to the 18th century . He poured many bells for Central Hesse and the surrounding area, some of which have been preserved.
history
Dilman Schmid was born around 1646 or 1664. In 1682 his daughter Anna Kunigunda was born. He cast his first bells together with Antonius or Adoni Fei / Faer (different spellings on the bells). He also poured a bell for upper listeners together with Johann Jacob Rincker from Asslar , around 1683. This leads to the conclusion that Fei could have been Schmid and Rincker's teacher . The last bells with Fei were made around 1696.
From 1708 at the latest, Schmid's son-in-law Philipp Schweitzer , who had married Anna Kunigunda , also accompanied the bell casting.
In 1709 Schmid and Schweitzer were heard as experts in order to assess a bell for St. Mary's Church made by the Frankfurt foundry family Schneidewind and criticized by Hanau .
Schmid cast the last documented bell for Ober-Wöllstadt in 1715 . Schweitzer took over the foundry and continued it for a few years in Werdorf .
Characteristics
Schmid cast most of his early bells in seventh rib , i.e. H. with a seventh as an undertone . Later he switched to the octave rib, the structure of which he adhered to with great precision - as in Weilburg, for example. The third is usually a minor third, for example a major third occurs on a bell for large linden trees .
Schmid wrote the inscriptions in Schwabach script with a few typing errors . Later he switched to a Baroque Antiqua , often in capital letters ; sometimes he used both at the same time. A saying that can be read very often on his bells is “I wake the sleeping one I scare the sinner I scare the dots [= dead] I cry * dilman schmid von aslar gos me, through fire I float * 1697” or “I call for prayer I will remember you for the last time ” (both examples from Langgöns).
In addition to decorative rings on the Wolm and various decorative friezes on the hood, images of saints can often be found on Schmid's bells . The crown is an ordinary six-handle crown with unadorned, almost circular handles with a cuboid cross-section .
Works
In the two world wars , many bells were melted down for armament purposes or destroyed by fires . Some returned from the bell camp in Hamburg (“ bell cemetery ”) after the Second World War . Some were already cast in the 18th or 19th century.
The following list gives an - certainly incomplete - overview of the bells by Dilman Schmid.
