Hinrich Brunsberg
Hinrich Brunsberg , also Heinrich Brunsberg or Henryk Brunsberg , (* around 1350 in the Teutonic Order ; † between 1428 and 1435 probably in Stettin ) was a German architect who shaped the medieval brick Gothic in eastern northern Germany. Around 1400 he worked mainly in the Mark Brandenburg and in the Duchy of Pomerania .
Life
Heinrich Brunsberg was born around 1350 in the Baltic region. It is believed that he came from the city of Braunsberg . In 1372 he acquired citizenship in Gdansk , where a property in his name can be proven for 1378. He was first mentioned around 1400 in the liber qurelarum of the city of Szczecin. With the year 1401, an inscription on the north chapel of the Katharinenkirche in the Neustadt Brandenburg names him as the builder of the church. The last mention in the ecclesiastical abandonment books of Szczecin dates from 1428. Presumably he died there soon afterwards, but no later than 1435 after the completion of the Marienkapelle at the St. Katharinenkirche in Brandenburg.
