Franz Joseph Salzmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Joseph Salzmann (* 1724 in Meßkirch ; † May 3, 1786 in the Upper Castle in Hüfingen ) was a German builder and architect .

Life

Born as the son of master bricklayer Jakob Salzmann, Franz Joseph Salzmann was employed as a master builder and foreman for the Prince of Fürstenberg from 1749 . From then on, he had to carry out all stately buildings on behalf of the prince (including the archive building next to the Donaueschingen court library ). In 1765 Salzmann was appointed building director and in 1780 he was appointed Princely Fürstenberg Chamber of Commerce in Donaueschingen , which made him the most sought-after architect of his time in southwest Germany.

He was distinguished by the fact that he was the first master builder to replace the wooden beams in the ceilings with iron girders, and he played a key role in the well-known new church buildings of the 18th century in southwest Germany.

Studies, travel and works

After a study visit to Italy in the spring of 1750, he set about planning and building his first church, the parish church of St. Cross in Steinach . Further church renovations and renovations followed in Oberwolfach (1755), Jungnau (1759), Hausach (1763), Todtmoos (1770), Welschensteinach (1771), building director for the construction of St. Blasien Monastery and its church (1772), Schenkenzell (1774), Ehingen bei Engen (1774), Tannheim (1779) and Stühlingen (1785). His most important work was the building of the Church of St. Bartholomew in Ettenheim (1768).

From 1766 to 1768 Prince Joseph Wenzel von Fürstenberg had a hunting lodge built along the length of an elongated plateau between Geissingen and Fürstenberg according to his plans, the length of the castle , which was demolished in 1840 .
