Live and act
Hans Tussmann (also Dussmann, Duschmann, Duss) worked in Ulm from 1442 to 1444 and in Freiburg im Breisgau from 1453. In 1453 he was accepted into the sky guild in Basel and three years later into the spinning weather guild . It can be found in Basel until 1459. Here he probably lived in a workshop community with the painter Hans Heinrich von Schlettstadt, as he made a debt claim against the sculptor in 1456. Among other things, he created the fountain figure of the Jakobsbrunnen (original today in the Basel Historical Museum). In 1459 he settled in Solothurn, where he can be traced back to 1489.
