Life and Buildings

Johann Adam Dossenberger was the son of the master bricklayer and miller Joseph Dossenberger and the older brother of the builder Joseph Dossenberger (1721–1785). He initially apprenticed to his father, then probably to Johann Baptist Zimmermann and Christian Wiedemann . He initially worked with his father and brother and was involved with them from 1739 on the construction of the parish church of St. Laurentius in Reinhartshausen , and from 1747 on the construction of the parish church in Wollishausen. In 1751 he went to Augsburg as a master builder and mason . His first independent building was the parish church of St. Clemens in Herbertshofen in 1754 . From 1756 to 1758 he built the church in St. Thekla on the Neuleblangberg near Welden on behalf of Joseph Maria Fugger von Wellenburg .

An authorship of the parish church Hl. Kreuz in Hochwang (1751) was also discussed, but this is mainly attributed to his brother Joseph.

Dossenberger's 1749 plans for the tower superstructure in Agawang were not carried out . The parish church in Kutzenhausen, built in 1753, has not been preserved .

The Dossenbergerstraße in Welden is named after him.
