Life

Gabriel Rühle was born as the fourth son of the Quedlinburg master carpenter Heinrich Reule . His siblings also included Andreas Rühle and Hans Reule , who were also known as master carpenters . He married Maria Elisabeth Lippe in 1700. The marriage resulted in at least the son Joh. Andreas , born in 1702 , who, however, died as a child in 1705.

Four carpentry jobs in Quedlinburg are attributed to Gabriel Rühle. For example, the 1688 house on Damm 16 . In 1691 Rühle worked on a building in the Fleischhof , in 1693 he built the building at Pölkenstraße 19 . The inscription referring to him is still preserved on this representative house, which is decorated with diamond crosses , droplet frieze and the half-timbered figure of the Halben Manns .

In 1702 Rühle built the belfry for the north tower of the Sankt-Blasii-Kirche , in the frame of which the inscription GABRIEL RUHLE ZIMMERMAN 1702 was carved.
