Life

Heinrich Bargmann was a citizen of the city of Hanover at the beginning of the 16th century and worked there as an ore caster. According to Hanover's wage registers, gun casting was the job of the Apengeter , but Bargmann was not mentioned by name in these records, which extended up to 1509. In 1510 - probably wrongly dated 1519 in the Spangenberg Chronicle - Bargmann poured "the big bell 'Maria' in the Dome zu Verden " and most likely also the smaller bell called "Cäcilia", created in the same year. The cathedral dean Heino von Mandelsloh is said to have paid him 1000 Rhenish gold gulden for the two orchestras . The identical font of both bells also be found on the also laid down in the cathedral of Verden, "extremely beautiful bronze-grave plate of the Bishop of Hildesheim and administrator of Verden Bertold, † 1502 ". The 1864 archives of Stadischen Historical Society pictured and described grave plate can in Bargmann suspect “the artful foundry also of this monument, which is important for the art history of Lower Saxony ”. This work also explains the exceptionally high price for the two Verden cathedral bells, which were later cast by Bargmann.
