Johann Baptist Ferolski
Johann Baptist Ferolski († June 20, 1751 in Mainz ) was a Kurmainzer architect and fortress builder.
Life
Johann Baptist Ferolski was an employee of Johann Maximilian von Welsch . His work as a master builder can be demonstrated in the architectural design of the Favorite pleasure palace , including the water features and various fortification works. He is credited with at least one design for the garden of the Younger Dalberger Hof .
It is difficult to judge Ferolski's ability and style because there are no detailed files and no plans from him. His name is not explicitly found in the system of the collective planning of his supreme sovereign Lothar Franz von Schönborn , whereby it is made more difficult that with this type of planning it cannot be decided what by Ferolski himself, the cavalier architect Ritter zu Groenesteyn , chief building director of Welsch or her " primus inter pares ”Lothar Franz contributed.
The design and construction of the former Rochusspital in the historic city center of Mainz is certainly attributed to him. This is a monumental three-storey mansard hipped roof with a central St. Rochus Chapel. The construction was realized between 1721 and 1729. The architect Johann Baptist Ferolski had the coat of arms of Elector Franz Lothar von Schönborn and a statue of Saint Rochus of Montpellier , which was made by Burkhard Zamels in 1727 , on the baroque columned portal of the chapel . The rest of the facade of the building with its purifying simplification already shows echoes of early classicism .
After Ferolski died on June 20, 1751 in Mainz, he was buried in the Mainz Quintins Church.
