Jodok Dotzinger (* around 1400 / 1410 , † 1468 ) was a stonemason , builder and architect .

Life

Jodok Dotzinger was probably the son of Hans Dotzinger from Worms , who is documented as a parlier in 1436 and as a foreman of the Basel Minster from 1438 to 1449 . In 1451 Jodok Dotzinger from Wissembourg was appointed parlier to the Strasbourg cathedral builder , where he succeeded Matthäus Ensinger as master builder in 1452 . In 1459 Dotzinger was present at the stonemasons' day in Regensburg, where he, like his successors, was appointed to the highest instance in all disputes among stonemasons ( that the master craftsman Jost Dotzinger des buwes our Frauwen Münster der mehren stift zue Strasbourg and all of his descendants of the same work our brotherhood of the Steinwerck's highest judge is supposed to be. ) The name of his wife Ursula is documented. Jodok Dotzinger probably died in 1468, his successor as Strasbourg cathedral builder was his son Nikolaus Dotzinger , who died in spring 1475.

Dotzinger's baptismal font in Strasbourg Cathedral, 1453

Works

The holy grave in Wissembourg is to be regarded as the earliest work of Jodok Dotzinger . Jodok Dotzinger's first Strasbourg work was the baptismal font of the cathedral in 1453 (original design in Vienna). In Strasbourg, from 1455 to 1460, he also built the choir and the roof turret of the collegiate church Alt-St. Peter , from 1459 he carried out the renovation of the nave vaults of the Strasbourg cathedral. It is possible that the Strasbourg cathedral tower was only actually completed under Jodok Dotzinger and not under Hans Hältz in 1439 . Oseas Schad wrote in 1617 that after the death of Hans Hältz in 1449, for a long time with the direction of helmet content, one had a good master craftsman .
