Johann Carl Stoltze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Carl Stoltze (* late 17th century; † 1746 in Berlin ) was a Prussian architect and construction clerk . After Boehme's death, under Friedrich Wilhelm I , he was one of the most famous architects alongside Philipp Gerlach and his collaborators Horst and Johann Gottfried Kemmeter .

Life

Nothing is known about Stoltze's origins, training and early activity. Coming from the military, he mainly worked as a site manager. From 1718 to 1738 he earned services in the reclamation of the royal office of Königshorst between Nauen and Fehrbellin, from 1734 together with Kemmeter. This activity earned him in 1734 the appointment of senior building director and war and domain council at the Kurmärkische Kammer. Together with Friedrich Wilhelm Dieterichs , Philipp Wilhelm Nuglisch and Kemmeter, he formed the investigative commission for the collapse of the tower of the Petrikirche built by Johann Friedrich Grael in 1734 . A week after Grael's arrest, he was appointed his successor on January 11, 1735. For health reasons, he took his leave in 1740. Fraudulent manipulation of the building yard property, which Stoltze's successor Christian Friedrich Feldmann investigated, forced the heirs to return the property to the state. In addition to Berlin, Stoltze also built in Potsdam (expansion of the garrison church , 1737) and Frankfurt (Oder) (city courtyard and school).

He was married to Catharina Maria Kottler, with whom he had the children Johann Ludwig and Charlotte Wilhelmine Catharina (1732–1785).
