Johann Adam Breunig
John Adam Breunig (* 1660 in Mainz ; † 1727 ) a German was Hofbaumeister and architect of the Baroque .
After the war of the Palatinate Succession , the rebuilding of Heidelberg at the instigation of Elector Johann Wilhelm meant that Breunig and other architects had a wide field of activity.
In Heidelberg in the 18th century he built the main building of the university ( Domus Wilhelmina ), the Jesuit church , the Jesuit grammar school and some city palaces for wealthy citizens. Among other things, he is credited with the design for the Weimar Palace in Hauptstrasse.
According to his plans from 1714, the "Zur Blauen Lilie" house in Heidelberg was converted into a prayer room for the Jewish community and from 1720 on Ahrenthal Castle near Sinzig. Breunig built the old town hall of Speyer between 1712 and 1726.
