Gabriel Goldfuß (also Gabriel Goltfus or Gabriel Goldtfuß , * around 1610 , † probably around 1683 ) was a master carpenter. He built at least two still preserved and the World Heritage Site belonging timbered houses in Quedlinburg .
Life
Goldfuß married Magdalena Fried on June 6, 1642 in the new town of Quedlinburg . The marriage resulted in seven children, of whom at least Abel Goldfuß, born in 1647, also became a carpenter.
In 1637 he built the prestigious house at Pölkenstrasse 22 in Quedlinburg . Also at this time the also built by him was Schuhhof 1 / 2 , a much simpler construction.
In his buildings, Goldfuß used the rows of stands , pyramid beam heads and parapet struts . Special features of his buildings are the use of ship throats filled with dew sticks and the decoration of filler wood with serrated friezes . His well-known buildings are inscribed with his name and the abbreviation ZIM for carpenter.
It is known that his business went bankrupt in 1683. However, it is possible that his widow dissolved the business in this way.
