Franz Xaver Feuchtmayer the Younger , also Feichtmayr and in other spellings (born October 17, 1735 in Augsburg , † January 6, 1803 in Munich ) was a Munich court plasterer of the late Baroque / Rococo from the Wessobrunn school . He was the last known offspring of the Feuchtmayer family , son of Franz Xaver Feuchtmayer the Elder (1705–1764). As the successor to Johann Baptist Zimmermann , he married his young widow after his death. The wedding with Maria Christina, geb. Mansrieder from Hall in Tirol took place on October 30, 1758 in St. Peter in Munich. Because he increasingly suffered from a lack of orders in the age of the beginning classicism , he was forced in his later years to earn his living with a general store.
