Ephraim Schröger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ephraim Schröger , Polish Efraim Szreger (* 1727 in Thorn ; † August 16, 1783 in Warsaw ) was a German architect in Poland .

Life

Schröger began his apprenticeship with the architect Johann Sigmund Deybel in 1743 . After Deybel's death in 1752, he became the personal conductor Joachim Daniel von Jauchs , the director of the Saxon building authority in Warsaw . After his death in 1754 Schröger was employed by the Saxon building authority with the same salary as he had received personally from Jauch - 300  thalers annual salary. As a result, Schröger received private construction contracts from Polish clients. When the building authority was dissolved in 1764, he was supposed to be kept at half the salary as the oldest conductor on duty, but quit the service at the end of 1764. 1765–1767 he went on a study trip to France and Italy . If his earlier works can be attributed to the Rococo , he has since been considered the main representative of the early classicist style in Poland.
