Hans Eger
Hans Eger or Johannes Eger (before 1440 – after 1509) was a German bell founder .
Life
Eger, whose origin is not clearly documented, was the founder of a foundry in Reutlingen , where he was first mentioned in 1444 and 1450. From Simon and Judae (October 28, 1452 to Pauli Conversion (January 25) 1453, he appears as a glockingisser von Rutlingen in the tax accounts of the city of Schwäbisch Hall . Possibly the property there goes back to his wife's marriage property. Eger is not registered as a citizen in Schwäbisch Hall. Only three bells marked with names have survived: the bell in the town church of Blaubeuren (1440), the prayer bell of the Ulm Minster (1454) and the bell of the Heilig-Kreuz-Minster in Schwäbisch Gmünd (1455). Also known from his work is a bell from a church in Reutlingen, which hung in the Reutlingen gate tower until 1837 and has not been preserved, as well as a bell in Gönningen near Reutlingen (1483) that is also missing .
Characteristic of Eger is the shoulder inscription with the names of the four evangelists framed by two coarse cord straps, separated by paw crosses ending in balls . On the basis of this feature, other bells in southwest Germany can be assigned to his foundry.
